Light Vegetarian Lunch Included

Join us for a unique 6-hour immersion designed to help you build confidence, strength, and awareness through the practice of inversions. More than simply learning to stand on your head or hands, this retreat explores inversions as a powerful pathway to cultivate presence, courage, concentration, and inner stability.

Through a blend of yoga philosophy, breathwork, mindful movement, hands-on inversion training, self-reflection, restorative practices, and sound healing, you'll discover how your relationship with challenge can become a catalyst for growth both on and off the mat.

What You'll Experience

Welcome Tea & Yoga Philosophy
Begin the day with tea, community connection, and an introduction to the Yoga Sutras. Explore how inversions can reveal the state of the mind and become a practice of self-awareness rather than performance.

Breathwork for Confidence & Calm
Learn and practice Dirgha Pranayama, Ujjayi Breath, and Nadi Shodhana to regulate the nervous system, manage fear, and cultivate steadiness before going upside down.

Mobility & Strength Flow
Prepare the body through focused mobility and strengthening exercises for the wrists, shoulders, core, spine, and hips. This intelligent movement practice creates the foundation for a safe inversion experience.

Inversion Lab
Dive into a hands-on workshop exploring:

Headstand (Sirsasana)
Forearm Stand (Pincha Mayurasana)
Handstand Progressions

Using wall support, blocks, straps, partner assistance, and safe falling techniques, you'll build confidence while refining alignment, stability, and body awareness.

Conscious Lunch
Enjoy a light vegetarian lunch in a mindful setting, beginning with a few moments of silence before transitioning into community conversation.

The Eight Limbs of Yoga
Explore the deeper teachings of yoga through discussion of the Eight Limbs and key Yoga Sutra concepts, including Abhyasa (consistent practice) and Vairagya (non-attachment). Learn how these principles support growth, resilience, and overcoming fear.

Journaling & Self-Reflection
Take time to integrate your experience through guided reflection:

What fear appeared today?
What did I discover about myself?
What am I ready to let go of?
How can I bring today's lessons into daily life?

Restorative Practice, Yoga Nidra & Sound Healing
Close the retreat with restorative Yin Yoga, guided relaxation, Yoga Nidra, and a deeply nourishing sound healing experience designed to help you integrate the day's lessons and return home feeling grounded, centered, and renewed.
