Winter Retreat

Yoga, Snowboarding & Skiing 

Friday January 18th - Monday January 21st

(long weekend - Martin Luther King holiday) 

     

Variety is king this weekend!  Come to relax, spa and yoga, OR hit the slopes and then chill with yoga.  If you are mountain ready, prepare yourself for two glorious days on two different mountains - one day at Killington and one day at Okemo, two resorts known for their varied terrain and prolific snowmaking.

For non-skiers, options include sleeping in, relaxing at the farmhouse, enjoying a day at the spa, and taking a fondue making class.

Each morning before hitting the slopes, prep your body with with a yoga warm-up.  In the afternoon, after returning from the mountain, unwind with a restorative yoga class.

OR, take take a private Fondue Making and basic knife skills class with Jeanine T. Abraham (founder of Mélange Intl. www.melangeintl.com & OUR PERSONAL CHEF FOR THE WEEKEND!). Chocolate and cheese fondue is the perfect snack after a day on the slopes.

On Monday, take advantage of the long weekend and dive into your yoga practice with an extended workshop, designed to leave you renewed and inspired.  Exploring the ideas of living yoga and personal power, your physical body aligns to the truth within.  Start the year off with a rush of energy!

Accommodations are a newly renovated rambling Vermont farmhouse named Good Commons.  With a dedicated yoga studio, two living rooms, three floors, and a steam shower that fits five, there is plenty of space to spread out and relax.

Beginners to skiing, snowboarding, and yoga are welcome to join us for this retreat.

Ski and snowboard instruction are available at both mountains.  You are responsible for arranging personal lessons.  See websites for rates and reservation information.
