Winter Yoga Retreat at IslandWood with Tracy Hodgeman and Terilyn Wyre
Tracy and Terilyn* welcome you to join them for their Annual Winter Retreat, a magical weekend of nourishing yoga and deep inner exploration. This retreat will revolve around the setting of inspiring and lasting intentions as we cultivate and refine our understanding of Sankalpa.
Winter is the ideal time of year to take pause, to turn inward and reflect on what seeds of intention we’d like to germinate in the seasons ahead, while also identifying and weeding out whatever blocks new growth. How often do we find ourselves creating New Year’s resolutions only to have our best intentions thwarted by old ingrained patterns of behavior? This weekend will be dedicated to uncovering our true Sankalpa — a resolve that resonates deeply with our inner wisdom and serves our highest potential — and finding realistic and practical ways to manifest Sankalpa in daily life.
Our healing retreat begins with a grounding vinyasa practice on Friday evening at 4:00 pm and ends with a closing circle and lunch on Sunday. Price of the retreat includes all classes, lodging, healthy and delicious meals featuring local, organic and sustainably sourced ingredients, and use of the facilities.
During these three days, we will enjoy yoga classes on Friday afternoon and evening, Saturday morning and evening, and Sunday morning (incorporating asana, yoga nidra, mantra, pranayama, and meditation). Morning classes will include more vigorous asana, afternoon and evening classes will be more restorative and introspective. We will support our self-inquiry with daily journaling, an art project, and a fireside ritual of letting go of the old to make way for the new on Saturday, interspersed with quiet times for reflection and relaxation.
Schedule: Friday, January 17, 4:00 pm – Sunday, January 19, 2020, after lunch
