Bali: The 2012 Bali trip has been postponed until a later date Check out what is being said about Laura's retreats! "I can't thank you enough for leading a yoga retreat to Bali and for taking me with you. I had an exceptional time and learned so much about myself, my mind, my body, and my soul." “Part of this retreat’s magic was the incredible mix of activities: we learned about everything from alternate nasal breathing to scholarly writing on Yoga Nidra, with lots of asanas in-between. Laura made all 17 of us, at all levels of expertise, feel comfortable, safe, and welcomed. It was an experience I will never forget. Plus...the food was out of this world. I encourage anyone who wants to spend a marvelous yoga weekend to be on the lookout for Laura’s next retreat." "Laura is gracious and clear in her instruction and feedback as a teacher. I felt very well cared for and yet challenged (to let go). Laura is a wonderful teacher and I look forward to sharing another retreat with her.”
5th Annual Embracing Balance Retreat A Yin, Yang and Yoga Nidra Retreat
with Laura Humpf on Whidbey Island
May 4-6, 2012
Come find balance on Whidbey Island while we explore the practices of yin yoga, yang yoga and yoga nidra. Yin yoga is a cool, quiet practice of holding poses for several minutes for the purposes of stretching and flexibility. Yang yoga is a heating, active practice used to build strength. Yoga nidra is a guided meditation used for deep relaxation.
The retreat is located at the beautiful Yoga Lodge on Whidbey Island, and you can enjoy over 7 hours of practice and plenty of time to wander, read, write, nap, get a massage, lounge or simply be. There is a wonderful garden, a pond for contemplation and a sauna at the lodge as well as great hikes and small towns nearby to explore. All meals are vegetarian and mostly organic. All levels welcome and encouraged. For more information about the Yoga Lodge www.yogalodge.com
