Rolling Meadows Retreat
The Yoga Retreats for 8 - 10 participants are a result of the years of personal and facilitated retreats we have taken and led since 1980. We have found that the format of yoga poses, sitting meditation, silence and unstructured time in the natural world creates an environment conducive to dropping the details of daily life and revealing the simple peace of our unencumbered being.
Yoga practice invites the gradual opening of the body and a return to a state of balance and ease. Yoga sessions encourage students to find their own way into the classical yoga poses through sensation, alignment, and breath awareness and to notice the movement between effort and ease. The classes are appropriate for the novice and experienced practitioner.
Restorative Poses and Pranayama offer deep rest and the cultivation of a refined attunement to stillness and quietude.
Meditation periods are from 30-40 minutes and draw on the Vipassana and non-dual traditions. Guidance will be offered in breath awareness and in open attention with the focus to relax and simply be with what is, as it is, without manipulation, so that we may come to rest in the natural state of awareness.
Unstructured Time allows for walking the woodland paths, napping, taking a wood-fired sauna, a swim in the spring-fed, crystal clear secluded pond, or for doing nothing.
