De-stress upon arrival! With your feet on the earth, connect to the nature’s rhythms, inside & out. Experience expertly curated Yoga Nidra, Movement, Sound and Forest Bathing Workshops to bring you back into a natural relationship with your body.
Join us at Still Mountain Wellness Retreat this spring and fall season for a physical, energetic, mental, emotional and spiritual re-alignment. Come to understand how these layers of you influence one another and how to balance them.
Our property is nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountains on 240 acres of private, pristine and pure land that helps co-create a gorgeous and healing experience while on retreat.
From the moment you arrive you will begin the process of embodiment – by placing your feet on the earth, becoming aware of the wind on your body, the sun on your face and the song of the river in your ears. Your time on this intentional retreat will guide you into the experience of, and hone tools for, living a more connected and present version of yourself.
In this time on our earth, many of us are having an increasingly hard time “feeling” everything that is happening outside of us as well as in our multi-layered interior life. The input is overwhelming and can cause us to escape from the body to not have to feel so much.
There is a path to more ease through learning to identify and balance the layers of your experience, which we will observe using the Pancha Kosha system of Yoga as a map. Through more somatic experience you can land more of you in this time, this moment, through a genuine relationship with your body. As you learn to balance that ever-strong pull of the mind and emotions, you develop a great key to self-empowerment. As a result, you will find a much-needed embodiment that can elude you in the chaos and stressors of everyday life. The result is a Restored and Rejuvenated nervous system and an overall sense of well-being.
Our exploration of the body and mind will derive from the many modalities offered in the Holistic System of Yoga and Natural Movement: Restorative Yoga/Gentle Asana, Breathwork/Pranayama, Meditation/Yoga Nidra as well as daily Forest Bathing and Sound Bathing, accompany this journey of restoration that is so desperately needed in this time.
Your choice to take a pause in this pristine nature and to join this thoughtful program will have a soothing effect lasting far beyond the weekend. Nurture yourself with the space and time for a Personal Renewal Retreat.
Silence in the Seqouia’s and Bare Feet in the Rivers.
Let nature bring you into Embodiment!
