Root to Rise

Retreat Overview:

This yoga retreat has been created just for you, our dear friends in the Eastern Townships, in order for us to gather together, get to know each other better, but even more, to better know ourselves! We'll practice yoga, meditation, and journaling, we'll enjoy some great meals, nature walks, and some relaxing and singing by the fire. As we start to root down, to slow our pace, learn to accept and love who we are in the moment, we can then start to open ourselves up to transformation. Finally, we will bring the two together, finding balance between acceptance and growth, becoming more of our true selves.

Your Teachers:

Andie Price will be guiding you in your yoga sessions, and Marie Neige Chatelain will lead you in meditation. The two of us will join together for Spa Yoga, kirtans (singing) sessions, and of course we will be around to help you out with anything else you may need. Florence Cazier is our lovely host at Les Couleurs de Brome, and she will take care of anything related to home and breakfast!
