Leave all your cares behind on this journey as you. . . traverse new roads, meet new people, and explore new ways of being in your body and in the world.
Each day we will greet the morning with a varied practice of yoga, pranayama, and meditation and close most days the same way. Come deepen your yoga practice, expand your horizons, and take the time to experience balance and harmony. The first day will offer an introductory class on alignment and engagement to get everyone familiar with the teaching style we will incorporate throughout the retreat. Each day will offer at least one intermediate class with modifications for those newer to yoga!
Over the course of four days, you will have the opportunity to explore new friendships, take time for some self-care, fall in love with your yoga mat all over again, and leave Tucson feeling refreshed, re-energized, and restored.
