Return to Stillness in the Woods

Description

Menlo Park yoga instructor Rebecca Snowball has the cure for what ails us, with a weekend program (February 27-28) of yoga sessions, healthy eating, and hiking in the woods designed to help fast track yoga enthusiasts back to their element, as well as regular folks who want a change of scene and a little refresher on “up dog, down dog.”

The weekend retreat takes place at the Stillheart Institute (http://www.stillheart.net) in Woodside, CA, which features 26 sleeping rooms, a “Great Room” with large fireplace, a fully-equipped kitchen, a large dining room, an indoor swimming pool and hot tub, a large studio for yoga and intuitive art, and massage rooms and steam rooms, as well as two saunas, and 16 forested acres with extensive hiking trails.

Rebecca states: "The retreat is a unique opportunity for participants to enjoy sacred space for themselves in a serene and nurturing environment, and to reconnect with their true inner selves. This is something we don’t get the opportunity to do everyday.”

Rebecca is a native of Dover, England, and immigrated to Mountain View, California with her parents, where she gew up. Now a certified yoga instructor, she began practicing yoga in 1995. Like many students new to yoga, she held the common misconception that yoga was simply stretching and relaxation, and couldn’t imagine sitting through a slow moving class when she was used to running, aerobics, and weight lifting. It only took one class for her to see the light, and she soon discovered a centered calm and an increased connection to herself. In 2000, she created Yoga Soul, her thriving business. She currently teaches group, private and corporate classes, and enjoys blending yoga, dance, and live music in special events and workshops. She specializes in proper alignment and “flow” classes that link one pose to the next through breathing.

The weekend includes two yoga classes, lunch and dinner on Saturday, continental breakfast on Sunday, and indoor pool, hot tub, hiking, and rest time. Overnight rooming is available for double and triple rooms, ($290 and $250), with day passes available that include yoga with lunch ($125), and lunch and dinner ($145).
