"Yoga is the art of being in the present moment. Present with all that is rising and fading. And that which calmly abides through the rising and fading. 
​It is also a lifestyle of non-grasping, service, and gratitude."

The Dharma Focus for this retreat will be:
The 5 Imperatives for Life, Community & the Climate

"What is being asked of us, at this time in human development, is both an integration of all that we are coming to know through Eastern & Western traditions and a return to living more indigenously - in our indigenous Self - connected to the earth, the elements, each other, and the whole of creation as our family."

Join me for the 27th Annual Awakening Into The Sacred Yoga & Meditation August Retreat. These retreats are a time to go deeper into your personal practice while supported by a senior teacher with over 30 years of teaching experience and with a community of dedicated practitioners. Immersing ourselves in the ancient tradition of yoga in an auspicious place, such as Breitenbush Hot Springs, allows the teachings to penetrate us even more deeply. Many students experience states of well-being and insight that would be otherwise unavailable in the fray of daily life. Frequently, students report lasting transformation from the depth of these retreats. 

This is a powerful retreat in an ideal setting that will naturally facilitate your connection with the indwelling sacred Self. The teachings from the Bhagavad Gita point to this indwelling sacred Self.

We will study the 5 Imperatives of the 5 warriors, the 5 elements, the 5 chakras, and the 5 prayers.  

Join us on Thursday night for a Friday yoga immersion into Yoga Therapy: Hands On Assists where we will explore the therapeutic application of hands on support for your yoga students in classes or in private lessons. We will specifically explore postural alignment that prevents injury, recommendations and practices for students with chronic pain, and how to skillfully use hands on support for your students recovering from injuries or surgeries. 

Stay over with us on Sunday night for an immersion into Yoga Psychology for Mental Health. The pandemic created an exponential rise in mental health challenges including anxiety, depression, addiction, suicidal ideation, and domestic violence. As yoga professionals or mental health professionals, we want you to be prepared for skillfully using the tools of yoga, within your scope of practice, to support students facing mental health challenges.

 Learn about mental health through the lens of yoga's psychology and Ayurveda's teachings on the subtle body so that you can bring new tools and perspectives to your work with your clients. 

​Above all, this retreat is designed to help you get deeply nourished, to reconnect with that which is sacred and timeless, and then to be prepared for your role in nourishing the greater good of our world, in whatever way you do that.

PLEASE NOTE: Both the lodging and tuition payments are set up for payment either in full or in installments. This is to provide some ease for your investment in this healing event. 

"Remembering that which we are - at our essence - is a process not of addition, but of subtraction. We release that which we mistook ourselves to be and are gifted with the recognition that we are that which remains, that which can not be diminished, nor amplified."

"Mindfulness allows us to see life as it is - not as we would conjure it to be. Recognizing the ever-changing nature of life, we are encouraged to be mindful so as to experience life while it is happening. Right now. All around us. Not in a future fantasy nor a grasped-for memory."

Note About Lodging

Breitenbush was devastated by the wildfires in 2020. The lodging rates at Breitenbush are set at the cost of operations for Breitenbush to be open again to the public.

To help with affordability, Breitenbush has a process for adding a second person to your lodging. Historically, it was a full rate for both people. The rate to add the second person in a shared lodging is only $87. (You can still sleep, eat, and soak as a full person!) ​
