Autumn is the time for consolidation and reflection. As the year begins to close it is time to go within and re-evaluate our choices. Join Dana Rae Pare for three full days of intermediate/advanced yoga and hiking amongst tall pine trees, spectacular views and sunny skies. Located in Idyllwild, California – an artist's colony nestled in the San Jacinto mountains – an easy 2 hour drive from San Diego or Los Angeles. Each day includes 3 hours of yoga (2 hour a.m. active practice; 1 hour afternoon restorative/meditative) and 3-4 hours of hiking (plus a.m. silent meditation hike).
To ensure you get three full days of yoga and hiking the retreat begins with a tea and orientation at 5:30pm on Thursday October 9th at the Lodge. The retreat finishes at 4:30pm on Sunday October 12th.
This is an intermediate/advanced yoga retreat. A minimum of 3 years yoga experience; confidence in Urdhva Dhanurasana and ability to maintain Sirsasana without any support or understand how to modify without disrupting the group energy is essential for you to fully participate in this retreat. If you do not meet these requirements please contact us.
Daily Schedule:
- 6:45 – 7:30 am Peace Walk – greet each day with a slow-paced, silent, meditation hike through the woods. Connect deeply to nature with each conscious step, practicing mindfulness. Increase awareness, ignite your senses, and awaken your spirit. After 30 minutes we’ll arrive at our yoga shala in the woods.
- 7:30 – 9:30 am Edge of Ashtanga Intensive- take your practice to a deeper level, challenge yourSelf and explore your inner "edge" with The Edge of Ashtanga Intensive. Dana will lead you on an inward journey increasing awareness and developing insight. You’ll move beyond self-imposed boundaries and feel strong, free and energized.
- 9:30 am Bountiful Brunch – served outside on the deck immediately after practice.
- 11:00 am Hiking – our extended hiking program is an amazing experience. Both challenging and empowering, with hours spent breathing fresh clean air and reconnecting with nature. Each day varies in length from 3 - 4 hours. Which includes taking breaks for water, lunch and, of course, enjoying the spectacular views.
Please Note: We’ll be walking at a moderate pace at altitudes up to 8,000 feet. If you are not used to this or do not currently walk, hike or run on a regular basis, we highly recommend beginning a training program at least two months prior to this weekend. We want this to be a pleasant experience for all. Please email us for any advice or guidance.
- 3:30 – 4:30 pm Restore (Friday and Saturday only) – designed to balance, stretch, and relax your body, rejuvenate your spirit and bring peace of mind. The perfect way to complete the day.
- 4:30 pm Free Time/Dinner – explore the village of Idyllwild and its choice of restaurants and shops on Friday and Saturday evening.
- 3:30 – 4:15 pm Rockin' Stretch (Sunday only) – Outside on the rocks, overlooking a fabulous view, stretch, relax and unwind after a weekend of active recreation and yoga before you begin the journey home. Dana leads you through some playful partner stretches and careful balancing postures on the rocks, followed by a closing meditation to complete the weekend.
Meals - You'll be served a large, delicious Brunch Buffet each morning after yoga practice. A healthy, nutritious packed lunch is provided each day for hikers. Both meals are lacto-ovo vegetarian, though not necessarily low-cal. We have excluded dinner from the program so you can experience the wide variety of restaurants and cafes that Idyllwild offers and make your own choice. A list of selections is included in your joining pack – most of which are within easy walking distance of the lodge.
Accommodation - This retreat offers two types of accommodation – lodge or camping. Both are located at the edge of the forest within walking distance of the yoga shala. Lodge Accommodation - Lovely lodge accommodations with log cabin ambience. Small but pristine, each lodge room has its own private balcony with views of the forest. The single lodge price includes 3 nights accommodation (arrive any time between 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm on Thursday October 9th), all yoga, daily hiking, brunch and packed lunch. The double lodge price covers the same for two people sharing.*
Camping - If you enjoy the great outdoors and prefer to sleep under the stars, we have reserved a section of a campground nearby the Nature Center located near hot showers and clean bathrooms. The camping price includes 3 nights camping (arrive any time between 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm on Thursday October 11th), all yoga, daily hiking, brunch and packed lunch.
