Autumn Iyengar Yoga Retreat

With Rebecca Hooper

November 16 - 19, 2023

Turning inwards, Autumn is a time for processing the events of the year and indeed, one’s life, thus far; reflection and introspection.

Through asana, pranayama, pratyahara (sense withdrawal), dharana (holding of one’s attention) and dhyana (meditation), we will support and honor the qualities of the season, making space through inner expansion.

We will build the reserves of prana and fortify emotional and mental stability to move forwards through the flow of life with openness, gratitude and wonder.
