setting for you to unplug, take a step back, and reconnect with
nature, yourself, friends, and your yoga practice.

lovely, warm weather during the southern hemisphere’s summer
months of December to March. For more information on Patagonia

process, with clear instruction and inspiring insight, for more

of postures and breath awareness as the medium in which all students
learn to more fully experience clear and conscious presence and
to live with freedom and peace. |

Megan’s
vision for this retreat is CONSCIOUS
PRESENCE IN PATAGONIA:
Morning
practice will cultivate relationship with your greatest
teacher ~ the intimate, truthful, real experience of yourself.
In the personal refinement of your practice, you will find thes
eat of your yogic power. The asana focus will be on strength ands
tability in standing poses, inversions and back bending, with
some prana yama.
Evening
practice will focus on the "Yin" style- an
approach to asana which is especially effective for stimulating
the deeper tissues of the body, quieting the mind, and increasing
sensitivity to the moment. Focus will be on hip and back opening.
We will end with several restorative asanas for deep relaxation,
and guided savasana.
