About this trip

Spring is an optimal time to become lighter and brighter through Yoga and Ayurveda. Understanding we are part of nature is facilitated as we enjoy a two nights stay on over 100 acres of secluded, sacred forest conservation land.


In this retreat we will be incorporating Ayurvedic techniques to provide a spring cleaning for mind, body and soul. Included are five simple, delicious, balancing, easy to digest vegetarian meals such as spiced oatmeal and khichidi to help support the digestive system and release toxins. We will learn traditional selfcare rituals, practice a range of Yoga including asana (postures), pranayama (breath techniques), Yoga Nidra, meditation, kirtan and more to help us shed toxins and enhance our health and well being for the months ahead. You will emerge feeling fresh, energetic, light, clear and in body and mind. Think of it as in internal spring cleaning!  


All activities and classes are included yet optional. 


This retreat is open to all.


Offered by Tamara Davidson and Elizabeth Henrichsen.

Elizabeth and Tara created a great calming energy for the group, the schedule was very easy and we all felt free to do whatever we’d like. It was so nice to be surrounded by a natural environment and hear the birds and crickets. The yoga was relaxing and the meals were delicious and things I would not have at home, which was a nice treat. My favorite part was an African dance class. Loved incorporating dance into the whole weekend. I would join them at another retreat!

Elizabeth and Tamara are wonderful instructors who prepared an amazing autumn retreat. They exude calmness and acceptance and offer many different types of yoga and meditation experience. The retreat was well organized with down time for reflection. I highly recommend their retreats! Thank you Elizabeth and Tamara!

I learned much detail about yoga and stayed relaxed the whole time. People were wonderful and everything about the retreat was just as it should be. Food was wonderful and completely home crafted

It was a wonderful retreat. Awesome bed in my private cabin. Great group of women!! Especially loved the Reiki share. Learned a lot about Aryuveda and transitioning into fall. Thank you.

Elizabeth and Tamara always put on a wonderful retreat. The activities are perfectly balanced between yoga classes, other nourishing activities and free time. Both of them are fabulous yoga teachers and you can always tell so much thought and care goes into these events. You can also get a fabulous massage from Tamara as part of your retreat experience. Highly recommended if you're looking for a way to renew and refresh.
