Details of this retreat
Jacqui is honored and excited to lead Om Tara Yoga Studio’s 7 th annual retreat at the serene and sacred Menla Mountain Retreat Center. To retreat means to withdraw; Jacqui invites you to withdraw
from your routine and possibly stressful lives, immerse yourself in nature while practicing Yoga, Pranayama and Meditation. Embrace the deeper study of Yoga through philosophy discussions and take
home with you a greater understanding of how to support yourself physically and emotionally through the science of Ayurveda. Round out your weekend with hikes, spa treatments, reading and naps.
Enjoy fresh, healthy vegetarian meals in a serene setting. Experience a bonfire under the stars where you can release that which no longer serves you and invite that which you wish to manifest in your life. This is a rare opportunity to gift yourself the time and space necessary to cleanse, heal, connect and renew, while being surrounded by the beautiful landscape and sacred energy of Menla. All levels of Yoga experience are welcome. This registration is for the accommodation portion of Jacqui’s Om Tara Yoga Retreat. The price include meals starting with dinner on day of check-in and ending with lunch on day of check-out.
