Are you ready to experience peace, contentment and wonder? Immerse yourself in the vast beauty that is Montana and refresh mind, body and spirit with daily yoga practices, meditation, nature excursions, delicious meals and opportunities for relaxation. Let this retreat reawaken your appreciation for your life, or inspire you to make the changes you seek!The question that continuously echoes through my mind, and has inspired the Walk Lightly retreat, is this: If the intention of our yoga practice is to establish wakefulness in mind, body and breath, how can we reflect this awakened state in our daily life?
I believe 90% of yoga exists beyond the yoga mat. Yoga means “to yoke” or “to unify”; it is a mindset that we generate through practice on the mat and reflect through the choices we make in everyday life.
Yoga is existing in a continuous state of attentiveness, openness, discernment and compassion; it is minimizing our destructive impact on the earth (i.e., to “walk lightly”) and strengthening our relationships to Self and others. Some of the best “yogis” I know do not practice yoga on the mat; they live mindfully. Therefore, this retreat is an opportunity to practice and reflect upon these ideas and the choices we make, whether for the first time or the millionth time, both on and off the mat…
Walking Lightly Ranch is the perfect place to do this! I hope that you feel nourished upon returning to your everyday life: more connected, mindful, inspired and balanced.
One of the signature aspects of Shivatree retreats is the structure of our days, as always, our days will coordinate with the rhythms of nature by sharing invigorating yoga practices in the morning and calming practices in the evening, eating locally sourced and organic meals with our largest meal in the middle of the day, immersing ourselves in nature and providing plenty of time for true rest and reconnection to oneself and one another.
If yoga is not “your thing”, in addition to perhaps trying new things…like yoga ;)… there will be plenty of other ways to participate and receive a well-rounded retreat experience. And do not stress: our yoga o’hana is down-to-earth, kind, and mindful; we are not judging the quality of your downward dog or your ability to sit in meditation, even if you may be judging yourself; we all know how it feels to begin yoga and the challenges that arise as you continue yoga…it is called “practice” for a reason!
I have been facilitating retreats and yoga teacher training for nearly 10 years, and it is one of the BEST gifts in my life. I have a bachelor’s degree in psychology and experience working in the mental health field; I am also currently in a master’s degree program for counseling psychology (anticipated graduation is May 2020). I am intrigued by and passionate about the way self-care, nutrition, physiology, psychology, yoga, mindfulness and meditation intertwine. To me, the beauty of retreats is that they provide an opportunity to reflect, re-center and rejuvenate and then to resume your daily life with greater intention and awareness.
