2018 Retreat
Whole Yoga Retreat with Angie
"Everything India Taught Me"
 
I am very excited to offer this retreat locally at the Sorrento Centre, BC, 45 minutes from Kamloops. 
Too often, yoga is presented as primarily postures (asana).  In India, I was taught exactly what else is entailed in the word "YOGA".   Join me as I share both the formal and informal teachings I received during my time living there.
Friday thru Sunday, we will enjoy bright and gentle morning practices, relaxing evening yoga nidras, walking meditations, discussions on yoga philosophy and ayurveda, workshops on breath, and lots of opportunity for meditation, reflection, self-inquiry and connection.
Held in a natural restful setting near the lake.
Retreat as a way to move ourselves deeper into who we truly are.
