I am SO excited to offer this opportunity for a retreat this Spring in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Just a few miles outside of Lexington, VA, the Heartstone Lodge is an incredibly special place. The main lodge where we will share our meals, practice yoga and meditation, and relax by the fire is a beautiful, rustic converted 150 year old dairy barn.
The Retreat:
This year's retreat will include morning and evening meditation, twice daily yoga classes, a cooking workshop with Chef Mary Silcox (see more below), as well as an opportunity to do a deep-dive "Posture Lab" workshop with me. We will share dinner on Thursday evening, all meals on Friday and Saturday and end retreat with pleasantly full bellies after a hearty Sunday brunch. To provide additional opportunity for introspection, quietness and mindfulness, we will be incorporating morning silence each day until after meditation and breakfast are complete.
Food:
All of our meals are being planned and prepared in-house by the fabulous Mary Silcox. She is returning again with us this year to provide us with the most delicious and exceptionally nourishing food for our retreat. All meals are vegetarian and dietary restrictions or needs will be honored and incorporated. I'm also delighted that she's agreed to offer retreat participants an afternoon cooking workshop during which she'll share some of her ayurvedic-inspired tips & tricks in the kitchen.
Accommodation Options:
The accommodation fees are not included in the retreat cost and all accommodations are to be selected and booked by you. There are many wonderful options!

As many of you know, I volunteer weekly at the Richmond City Jail teaching yoga and meditation to the female inmates in the REAL program. I also provide weekly life coaching to two inmates with the hopes of reinforcing the foundation put in place by the REAL program as well as to develop the inner stability and empowerment they will need as they transition back into society.
