Relieve stress, slow your mind and reset. Join us for a personal restorative yoga retreat while experiencing the peace, quiet and beauty that is Breitenbush Hot Springs.

You’ll spend five days and four nights relaxing, soaking in the healing hot springs and self-reflecting. Join Janell & Jen for three personal pratices daily:  Morning meditation, morning hatha classes and evening restorative and yin practices.

We’ll also discuss the physiology of stress, the endocrine system and the detrimental effects stress has on our health and well being.  You’ll attend an introduction to yin yoga. You’ll experience the science of relaxing, the energetics of slowing down, and have the space to feel & uncover.
