yoga retreatAwake, Aware, Alive
A six-day residential retreat grounded in the integration of meditation and yoga practice into daily life. Led by author and experienced yoga educator Beryl Bender, the program combines morning meditation, physical asana, mindful movement, and conscious living within a supportive community setting. The retreat draws on classical meditation techniques and yogic philosophy, inviting both new practitioners and those returning to established practice to deepen their capacity for awareness and presence. Structured around the principle that meditation extends into every aspect of living, the days weave together stillness, movement, and community meals. Bender's teaching emphasizes practical tools for cultivating resilience and clarity amid the rhythms of ordinary life, rather than seeking extraordinary states or peak experiences.
