Yoga Retreat
September 28th 2008 - October 3rd 2008
Come join us for a week of healthy living with Big Sky Yoga Retreats! The natural beauty of Montana inspires peace and fresh perspective in a fast-paced world. Clean mountain air, sharing the surroundings with plenty of wildlife (who wouldn't be inspired when a bald eagle's flight path crosses yours?) and a gentle pace all come together here to offer the opportunity to really experience your yoga practice. You know that feeling you have after a yoga class, where your mind clutter has been temporarily cleared? Multiply it tenfold and you will get a taste of what we intend to offer you here in Montana. The focus of our week will be a daily yoga practice. Many of us approach our yoga practice as if it were another task on our to-do list; during this week we will work on techniques for how to integrate yoga into your life with less effort. There will be two daily yoga practices that take advantage of the natural rhythms of the body: a vigorous, energizing morning practice and a restorative, relaxing afternoon practice. Our yoga will be interwoven with outdoor activities that fill you with the exhilaration felt from being in touch with nature. The concept behind Big Sky Yoga Retreats is to offer you the best a getaway has to offer - stunning surroundings, amazing accommodations, gourmet food - while also offering the tools to enrich and improve your health and well being. After a week with us, you will not only feel like you got away from it all, but will also return home with a toolkit of healthy habits that you can apply to your everyday life.
