Sample Schedule below - Subject to Change. Practices with 2 times are doubled to allow for adequate social distancing in the studio during exertion, should our numbers require it. Masks are encouraged for all events (and not required). Up to 7 clients may attend each doubled class - see schedule below. If only 7 people are signed up, the practice will be held once at a time between the original two, and other sessions may be scheduled.
Don’t let the early practice times scare you! Everything’s optional and you’re always welcome to come as you are! While this is a traditional practice and also makes use of the cooler hours outdoors, there are many sessions and you are welcome to build your own adventure!
This is the first "After times" retreat held at La P and my first as well. We'll figure it out as we go with breath, patience and YOGA!
Check out a few of the baths and relaxing spaces at La Paloma Hot Springs and Spa! Please be aware that only registered, overnight guests at La Paloma will have soaking privileges. This is a feature of being the first retreat back, staffing shortages and figuring it all out. We appreciate your understanding.
Please Note: Rooms book separately, call for reservations. Since we are the only guests on site during the retreat time, you’ll receive the phone number to make your reservation upon retreat registration - the website will show fully booked. After you are registered, they will expect your call and help you book your room. To see the rooms and suites they have and registration for each, check out lapalomahotspringsandspa.com - just remember, the rooms are held for our retreat!
Come to all sessions (one or the other of the doubled ones…) or pick and choose.

Our ground rules:
• Everything is optional.
• Questions are encouraged.
• Yoga pose is not how the pose matches a picture, but how it feels in your body. You’re the only one who can know this. You are in charge of what happens on your mat.
• Rest when you want to, how you want to.
• If something hurts breathe, stop, slowly come out, always let me know.
• Pain to absolutely avoid is sharp or electric sensation. Intensity can feel like fatigue, stretch, compression or exertion. Always find an edge you can remain present with and not in spite of. Cultivate an even, steady breath through the nose, unless otherwise instructed. Don’t out-yoga your breath.
