A 3-day intensive and community gathering

Early Bird Pricing Until March 15

$450 $400

Our Theme

Inspired by Joni Mitchell's classic song, Both Sides Now, this weekend workshop will offer participants a chance to reflect on the multi-faceted nature of  our human experience and how the yogic principle of equanimity can be brought to life and through our diverse personal lives.

Expect to discuss how love, community, and spiritual practice unfold through periods of joy and ecstasy as well as through stretches of disillusionment and heart-break; through our struggles as much as our apparent victories.

Enjoy alignment-oriented asana practices suitable for all levels each day, heartfelt conversation, and the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Whether you are a new or experienced practitioner, this intensive will give you plenty of insight to work with both on and on your mat. Christina and Desiree, both known for their down-to-earth teaching styles, are committed to creating loving gatherings that welcome you where you are and support you in finding your next steps forward in life and practice.
