Spring Renewal Holistic Retreat 2026
2 nights stay
Fri. April 10, 2026 -
Sun. April 12, 2026
Join me this April for a short, sweet, and profoundly healing weekend in the foothills of the Catskills. Connect with the spirit of yoga and sangha/community, nourish yourself with delicious healthy food, and reconnect to your prana-your life energy-amidst the arrival of spring.
Enjoy two peaceful nights at Ananda Ashram (Yoga Society of New York), a yoga educational and spiritual center located in Monroe, NY, nestled within woods and meadows with a surrounding lake, walking paths and hiking trails. The ashram is accessible by train and a one hour drive from NY.
This yoga and healing retreat offers a holistic detox from the accumulated stagnancy of winter. By aligning practice with healing foods, alongside nature’s rebirth and renewal season, we ultimately support our our own inner bloom and transformation.
To ensure an intimate experience, this unique retreat is limited to a small group. You’ll have the opportunity to receive personalized guidance through the full spectrum of my offerings - yoga asana, meditation, restorative practice, and reiki energy healing. This retreat supports your unique experience of yoga, open to all levels, and offers variations as needed to honor your practice.
