CVY Sacred Space Retreat

Autum Equinox Celebration Saturday September 24th

Cathy Valentine Yoga invites you to be inspired by the fall season, with its undeniable feeling of change in the air.  This evening gathering honors the Autum Equinox – a time to celebrate what has been created during the high energy days of spring/summer and honor the transitioning into the slower energy of fall/winter.  A time to embrace change and navigate transitions with greater ease – leaning into the simplicity of the moment rather than chasing the complexity of a busy mind.

This retreat will be held at Second Wind on Cobb Island overlooking the Wicomico River in Southern MD.  Two all level Yoga segments will be held as sunset and twightlight approach.  The first segment focuses on the physical change in our body as fall approaches.  According to Ayurveda, Fall brings about the dry and windy elements in the body.  Grounding poses, coupled with movements that support your lungs and abdominal organs, help ease the seasonal transition. 

The second segment asks you to be inspired by the spirit of change.  Poses that open the side body and chest will encourage space – making it easier in both body and mind to lean away from resisting change and embrace the simplicity of the present moment. 

The retreat ends with a beach bonfire offering complete with live music, wine and an opportunity to connect by sharing your Fall intentions or shedding any resistance to change.

Retreat dress color theme – orange/fall colors. A light dinner and snacks will be provided. All Yoga sessions will be held outdoors.  Please bring your own mat and props as needed.  Slip on shoes, sunscreen,  insect repellant are recommended.
