Rocky Mountain's Embodiment Retreat

Join us for an incredible four days of community, connection and self evolution.  An awakening to the power behind that which is feminine, gentle and soft, this is a retreat immersion, where we drop into a place of community and ease and support one another in going deeper into our personal sadhana. By giving ourselves time to drop fully into practice, we allow ourselves to open into deeper expressions of asana and to expand your personal sadhana. 

About exploring the richness of yoga when practiced from a place of energetic exploration, we unravel gently through slow Embodiment Yoga™ practices designed to give you time to open your body into deeper energetic practice. Offered in three waves, this retreat takes you on a journey that allows you to deepen into Hip Openers, Arm Balances, Backbends and inversions. Beyond the posture itself, we explore the energetic benefits of these asana and layer mantra, mudra, meditation and Thai Yoga Massage to enrich the experience. Each day includes Embodiment Yoga™ practices, sequencing chats, Hands on Assisting workshops and Thai Yoga Massage. 

We have filled our accommodations for this retreat but still have ample onsite camping options available. 

Our annual Embodiment Yoga™ Retreat is held at the Misty Ridge Retreat Centre, just 40 min outside of Calgary. We are running this retreat with your safety in mind and have Covid guidelines in place for attendance at this year's retreat. We will requie a daily temp check and covid assessment and the wearing of masks during times when we are in close proximity with one another. 

To reduce risk, we will not be serving our usual gourmet community meals, but have made arrangements with Roni's Kitchen to prepare individually prepared Vegan/Gluten Free Meals. For those who feel more comfortable preparing their own meals, there is a grocery store and take out options within a 10 minute drive of the centre. 

Students are welcome to commute each day and we have several options available for anyone wanting to just come for a day or two. To purchase a day pass, click here.

We have chosen to give you the following options for your retreat experience.
