Retreat to magical Taos, New Mexico and celebrate the powerful Summer Solstice with yoga, meditation and nature. We'll be staying at the charming, comfortable and colorful Blue Sky Retreat at the San Geronimo Lodge, located in Taos in the high desert of northern New Mexico. An old Adobe style historic architecture, the property has 18 bedrooms, an outdoor swimming pool and hot tub, a labyrinth and a mindful meditation path, a Native American sweat lodge, and is situated on 3 beautiful acres of nature just 2 miles from Taos town square, and surrounded by mountain views and peaceful desert landscapes.
The enchanted beauty of Taos, surrounded by nature, mountains and colorful sky that stretch for miles, and with its rich history, makes it the perfect location to connect more deeply with yourself, through yoga, meditation, mindful walks in nature, journaling, reflection and contemplation practices. Take time for yourself, renew and nourish your mind, body and soul. Taos is a 1,000 year old ancient indian village. Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs and Spa, with geothermal healing hot springs, is just 30 mins from the retreat center.
The morning yoga classes will be mostly vinyasa flow yoga for all levels, linking movement with the breath for an energizing yet relaxing flow. With creative and balanced sequences, strengthening and lengthening, detoxing and pranayama, you will experience a strong, safe and supportive practice. Modifications and options will be provided for different abilities. You'll have the opportunity to play with some backbends, arm balances, and inversions if you choose, and cool down with some deep stretches to restore the body and mind. The evening classes will be yin yoga, with longer held seated and supine postures, stretching, lengthening, releasing tension and creating more space in deeper layers of connective tissues in the body. Yin yoga is also a perfect opportunity to journey inwards and practice meditation, inner reflection and contemplation.
"The retreat was perfect! Sally has such great energy and I always feel refreshed and rejuvenated after her yoga retreats. The yoga sessions are wonderful and I appreciate that Sally incorporates different ways to increase or decrease the challenge of the various poses. She also does a great job of incorporating restorative yoga practice in addition to the flow classes. Love the yoga nidra! My favorite part of Sally's yoga retreats are the guided meditations. I really enjoyed the chakra meditation and the meditation about the four locks and keys. Sally also went over the yoga sutras and I find so much value in learning how to incorporate yoga into my daily life. It really helps to take a few minutes each morning to go over the yoga sutras and find a couple critical sutras to focus on each day. Sally's teachings about mindfulness are so valuable and have really improved the quality of my life. Many thanks for a wonderful, life-changing retreat!" - Rebecca S, June 2019
"I am so grateful I attended this retreat. The weekend was truly incredible. Sally is a fantastic teacher and lovely human. She creates and holds space for everyone to get what they need from the weekend. Her cues in the yoga classes were spot on and incredibly helpful and the guided meditations were really wonderful. I can't wait for my next retreat!" - Susan S, September 2019
