Nourish & Replenish: A Spring Yoga Weekend
With Leila Swenson
April 9 - 11, 2027
Springtime heralds new beginnings and new life… Nourish and replenish yourself with Leila Swenson in the magnificent sweeping countryside of Ratna Ling! It is like stepping into another world— Ratna Ling provides a peaceful and inspiring place in the coastal redwoods to engage in revitalizing and heartful practices of vinyasa yoga, mantra healing, silent meditation, and deep relaxation.
A meaningful pause is a valuable opportunity to contemplate the next steps blossoming in our lives… Some questions of inquiry for the weekend are: What is calling us and has energy? What is perhaps falling away and no longer fits? How can we tap into our inner wisdom to guide us? How can we nourish our overall health and well-being? The practices over the weekend will invite inquiry, clarity, purification, and vitality for mind-body, heart, and spirit.
Leila’s 15+ years of yoga teaching experience, her soothing voice in singing and instruction, and her compassionate nature will nourish and replenish you.
Please join us for a marvelous weekend of refreshing yoga, wondrous outdoors, and caring community. All are welcome!
