Lenten Yoga Journey

The season of Lent can be an excellent tool for us to deepen and enrich our spiritual journey.  Though it is often wrapped in the need to repent and “do more”; it is actually a time of hope; of longing for what Lent actually means:  SPRING. Yes, Lent comes during our winter month of February this year.  In fact, Ash Wednesday (the beginning of the Lenten time) is on the Feast Day of St. Valentine when we send cards and other treats to those we LOVE.  However, the focus of this year’s Lenten yoga retreat will be a deeper exploration of LOVE.  Can we explore the true meaning of LOVE–as found in the days of Lent when we realize that love requires DISCIPLINE, COMMITMENT and most important–REST.

The yoga sessions will be based on a model of Yoga for Healthy Aging.  All levels are invited.  It is encouraged for you to bring any yoga “props” you may have (blocks, straps, your personal mat, etc.).  There are some props provided for those who do not have these props or cannot travel with them.  Mostly, bring your HEART–ready for being stretched, disciplined, taught the true meaning of commitment, and given a safe and holy time to rest.
