Women's Yoga Getaway — $199
Yoga is an amazingly powerful way to support ourselves as women, helping calm our minds, strengthen our bodies, clarify focus in life, deepen self-acceptance and balance our hormonal cycles. If you’re a modern woman reading this, you will already know that we NEED to take time to slow down, replenish our energy, and reconnect with our deepest truths – AND we really need to take care of our bodies. This workshop will be an opportunity to do just that. We will practice relaxation, breathing, yoga asana (postures) vinyasa (flowing, sequences of posture) and bhavana (setting intentions).
