Ease & Effort: Finding the balance

We welcome Jacqui Rowley of San Francisco to offer a weekend retreat to help you strike the balance between work and relaxation.

For many of us who are moving too fast between work, family, friends, and the digital world, we still find it hard to slow down. If we are to feel balanced, then there's nothing more urgent than learning how to slow down and simply rest.

Join Jacqui for a weekend of morning vinyasa classes, and evenings of slow flow. The mornings will include an athletic yoga flow class, exploring a peak yoga pose or family of poses. The days are free for hiking, reading, journaling and exploring the majestic grounds of Ratna Ling. Evening classes are slow and restorative with sound healing. This weekend is all about knowing how to move and make efforts, while balancing out with relaxation and non-doing.

If you are looking to chill out, deepen your practice, and connect in community, then this retreat is for you!
