Yoga Retreat in Budapest, 6-9 May

January 09, 2022

How do we find nourishment in our urban environments? Come with us to Budapest where we will explore ways we can nourish body, mind, heart and soul as we discover this vibrant and ancient city in the heart of Europe. We will start the day with tonic morning yoga classes in the lively quarter of Pest near Margaret Bridge. We'll then head out to explore this beautiful and dynamic city, returning the studio to finish our busy day with a restorative or candle-light 'chill-out' yoga practice. We will plunge into the soothing water of the ancient Turkish baths, discover the spacious Buda Castle area through a unique meditative walking experience, and of course, enjoy the various culinary delights the town offers (including fine pastry). Moving around and through our environment will be an integrated part of our discovery. In addition to walking meditation, we plan to practice outdoors on the gorgeous Margaret island if the weather allows, and bike along Danube river, or j

Dancing Through Time and Space - SAVE THE DATE

Two opportunities to join Scott Denning and Ann Moradian for this unique retreat: May 2022 in central France - 4 days May 26-29 July 2022 in the Snowy Range of Wyoming - 5 days July 22-26 or July 27-31 TBA Atmospheric scientist and avid stargazer Scott Denning and movement artist and systems thinker Ann Moradian join forces once again, creating a unique retreat experience that follows the dance of energy through time and space, from the birth of the stars and the planets to the emergence of life and humankind. We will walk and hike through these distinct landscapes, let our minds soar into the dark night skies, and dive into the experience of our animate bodies through structured explorations, daily yoga, mindful movement and breathing practices to unite awareness with the body's feedback and inherent logic. Participants will experience a broader view of the concept of nature, with a deeply personal sense of dwelling both in one's embodied being, in nature, and in the larger c

Yoga Retreat: The Body's Wisdom, May 22-24, 2021

April 21, 2021

May 22-24, 2021 We'll be staying at Atelier des Sources in the charming village of Angles-sur-Anglin near Châtellerault, south of the Loire Valley. It is listed among the most beautiful villages in France, and I have been trying to get to this particular venue for the past two years! With 100m2 studio space to practice in, and outdoor areas as well, we'll have plenty of time and space to breathe, move, and connect -- all, I trust, with enough social distance to feel relaxed and safe together as we step out of our long confinement period. I would like to focus our work on the body's intelligence, feedback and ways of knowing as the internal guidance system they are, including not only the mind and heart, but also the gut and the skin. We'll have lots of open space and time to unwind independently or in company, as you feel it in the moment. The best pricing I could manage for private rooms is 385€/per person . If you would like to bring a friend and share a room w
