Women’s Mindfulness & Yoga Retreat at Prairiewoods

August 19, 2022 @ 6:30 pm August 21, 2022 @ 1:00 pm CDT

$230

Yoga is a healing modality for self-realization, showing how we can progress along life’s journey by opening to our Divine Nature. Mindfulness calls on us to literally stop and wake up to exactly how things actually are right now, with self-kindness, which can be deeply healing and transformative. Come to Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha) in the spirit of interconnectedness and receptivity to create a deliberate pause for self-reflection.

Facilitator Allison Peet will guide us to explore gentle hatha yoga, yoga nidra, various mindfulness meditations, mandala drawing, breath-focused practice, loving kindness and self-compassion practice.

  • There will be periods of silence offered, as well as time for reflection and inquiry.
  • All scheduled activities are optional and plenty of time and space will be offered for personal rest on your own to return home refreshed, connected and renewed.
  • Some experience with gentle yoga and meditation is preferred.
