Yoga, Crystals, Community, and Sound Healing
As the days grow shorter and colder, take time to nourish your body, mind, and spirit with our Winter Glow Retreat. This 4-hour yoga and healing experience is designed to help you find warmth, inner balance, and deep restoration during the winter season.
What to Expect:
Annica Melanson and Luisa Quezada will begin with an invigorating yoga movement practice, inviting energy and circulation into the body. As you flow through mindful sequences, the gentle warmth of the practice will awaken your inner glow. To enhance your experience, we'll introduce an invigorating essential oil blend that will refresh your senses and uplift your spirit.
Afterwards, we will pause for a nourishing lunch, catered by delicious UpBeetEatsInc.to take this time to reflect or connect with others in this cozy, supportive space.
Next, we will transition into a grounding Yin Yoga session, using long-held postures to release tension and effectively target the connective tissues and energetic pathways of the body. This practice will help to bring balance to the kidney and urinary bladder meridians. These meridians are associated with the winter season. Supported by the calming energy of crystals, this practice will promote both emotional balance and physical renewal, helping you shed the heaviness of winter.
In the final portion of the retreat, enjoy a deeply restorative practice with gentle hands-on massage, soothing essential oils, and sound healing. Drift into relaxation as the vibrations of crystal bowls and chimes wash over you, allowing your body and mind to fully surrender. A calming essential oil will enhance this portion, supporting relaxation and peace.
To complete this transformative experience, you will be gifted with a carefully selected crystal, symbolizing nourishment and protection for the winter months. We will guide you through simple rituals to continue using your crystal for grounding, reflection, and self-care after the retreat.
Winter Glow Retreat is a retreat designed to help you reconnect with yourself, find warmth in the midst of winter, and carry a sense of inner radiance into the season ahead.
