Each year, it seems that no matter how hard we try, the holidays are a busy, chaotic time. They may be joyful or they may be brutal. Either way, they can be a lot for our nervous systems. It's often a season of "too much."

That's why, for so many in our community, this retreat has become a tradition.

Every January, we gather at the Himalayan Institute for a weekend of rest, reflection, and genuine nourishment before the pace of the New Year fully takes hold. Rather than jumping straight into resolutions and endless to-do lists, we give ourselves permission to pause. And to really align the with rhythm of the season: winter.

Through yoga, meditation, nourishing meals, time in nature, meaningful conversation, and plenty of quiet moments, you'll have space to reconnect with yourself and begin the year from a place of steadiness instead of depletion.

Whether it's your first time joining us or you're returning for another January, all are welcome. Classes will be a mix of movement and restoration. This retreat is absolutely appropriate for all skill levels, even beginners. Maura is a master at modifying classes for all practitioners.
