Vermont: Yoga & Nature Retreat

Joelle Ng & Gillian Kapteyn Comstock

May 5 – 7, 2017

Spring is beckoning, begging us to be in nature! Break away from the noise and clutter of the city to take full advantage of the wonderful opportunity to practice yoga at an organic farm and retreat center. We invite you to join us for two days of yoga, incredibly delicious and healthy food grown on site, and natural immersion at Metta Earth Institute in the mountains near Lincoln, Vermont! During this weekend of powerful unwinding practices, immerse yourself in a mindful yoga practice that combines many elements. The blend of Hatha, Restorative and Yoga Nidra sessions will be a delightful, energetic recharge. Exchange your phones and tablets for sweet communications with sheep and cows, and detox from the incessant data streaming our way. Let go of your daily stresses and refresh yourself with new life stirring in the beauty of the mountains!

4 Yoga Classes
2 Nature meditation sessions
6 Delicious, organic meals sourced from Metta Earth Farm
2 Nights stay in shared accommodations – Metta Earth House, Yurts, or Camping
