Join teachers (and real-life sisters) Sarah Hyde and Maggie Hepburn for a weekend of rest and renewal at the scenic Doe Bay Resort on Orcas Island, WA. As we shift into the introspective season of fall, we’ll enjoy a wide array of yoga and meditation practices, spa time, and nourishing home-cooked meals, as well as the opportunity to reconnect to nature. Activities will include:

• Morning yoga and meditation practices with Maggie

• Evening sound baths incorporating restorative and yin yoga

• Conscious connected breathwork with Sarah (optional)

• Asana (pose) play lab with Maggie (optional)

• Group spa time (additional time can be booked separately)

• Private reiki sessions with Sarah (optional / booked separately)

• Group outing (TBD, stay tuned!)

• Ample free time to explore the island or relax at Doe Bay

We’ve booked a cluster of waterfront cabins for group lodging, and can accommodate most of our guests in those spaces. Or, you can rent your own cabin, yurt or camp site. We also welcome commuters at the base retreat rate. Meals and spa time will be provided to all participants. 

This retreat is limited to 16 participants.
