JOIN US 8/20/22 - 8/27/22 FOR OUR ANNUAL ASHTANGA YOGA AND BUDDHIST MEDITATION RETREAT IN BEAUTIFUL CRESTONE, COLORADO!

I am thrilled and honored to be hosting another yoga retreat in my magical home town of Crestone, Colorado on  8/20-8/27/22!  Our venue is the secluded Vajra Vidya Retreat  Center nestled in the pristine forests of the Baca National Wildlife refuge, whose residential monastic community we will join daily for Tibetan Buddhist prayers, sutra chanting and silent sitting in the Karma Kagyu Tibetan Buddhist tradition.
   
We will have morning Mysore-style (self-paced) yoga classes appropriate for all levels.  Covid precautions will be observed when necessary.  Leigha has received the full Moderna vaccination regimen and will wear a mask during the Mysore class.  Masks are optional for practitioners.  

We will have daily optional afternoon outings to beautiful wilderness spots combined with 3 organic vegetarian meals daily.
