The Yoga of Parenting.

A Yoga and Meditation Retreat in Response to a Troubled World. This retreat is in response to the overwhelm relating to the dysfunction of the world, that includes, but is not limited to, greed, privilege, oppression, environmental degradation, and inequality. The three main areas of focus are 1. treating ourselves with kindness and compassion, 2. sharing this kindness and compassion with everyone who crosses our path, making sure that others are seen and heard and 3. Taking action to change your life and the lives of others for the better. Please click on the green button below to see more information about the in-person version of this retreat. Please let us know if you are interested in an adapted online workshop series (coming soon).
