Autumn Detox Yoga & Wellness Retreat
November 16th- 20th 2024
Letting Go & Embracing Stillness
As the leaves fall and the days grow shorter, nature invites us to slow down, turn inward, and release what no longer serves us.
Our Autumn Detox Retreat in November is designed to help you gently cleanse, nourish, and restore balance as you transition into the season of rest and reflection.
Why Detox in Autumn?
Autumn is the perfect time to pause, let go, and prepare the body and mind for the winter months ahead. Just as trees shed their leaves, this retreat will guide you in shedding built-up toxins, lingering stress, and emotional weight, allowing you to feel lighter, clearer, and more grounded.

INTRODUCTION TO THE WELLNESS ACTIVITIES
YOGA
Hatha “Ha” means sun and “tha” means moon so the Hatha practice helps us to balance our “masculine” and “feminine” aspects, finding equilibrium. During the practice, you will build strength and flexibility. This asana practice cultivates focus and helps to clear the energy pathways in the body bringing it to a sense of alignment.
YIN
Yin yoga is a practice that works the connective tissues (fascia, ligaments, tendons and bones) of the body. It is a soft and passive practice that requires slowing down so we can surrender the body to gravity and enter a state of self-inquiry and contemplation. It is an asana, and meditation practice all rolled into one, that helps to release and clear the energy pathways of the body.
Yoga Nidra
Sometimes called the Yogi Sleep. Yoga Nidra counter acts stress and helps provide effective relief from depression and long-standing anxiety. It is an efficient way to obtain sleep. It helps clear the mind for learning and absorbing new material. Releases tension between body and mind and helps prepare for mediation practices. It is profoundly rejuvenating and helps with concentration and focus.
