Wagging Tail Yoga Retreat ~ june 2021

...to their 15th delicious weekend retreat on Ora's 100-acre pasture and forest land in Bethel, NY, the Catskills. We will stay at her beautiful family farmhouse, share fabulous catered meals together, and practice yoga in the vaulted, gorgeous yoga studio, a few steps from the house. The Yoga classes are all optional, and are a variety, to relax, stimulate, educate, enlighten, and charm you. We invite you to take what you desire to, and enjoy your book, swimsuit, hammock, or stroll-time when you prefer to.

If you can leave the city early on Friday, spend 2-3 hours in the delightful historic Woodstock exhibit at Bethel Woods Museum. Tickets must be purchased in advance, and early, as they are maintaining social distancing, and only allowing 25% guest capacity. 

We strongly encourage all retreat students to be fully vaccinated by two weeks prior to June 18th. Please reach out with questions or concerns.

Tuition Includes: Delicious and healthy catered heals (Friday evening to Sunday lunch), housing, snacks, wine, all classes and group activities, plus Monticello bus stop pick-up/drop-off if needed. (We encourage car pooling, to minimize anyone's need for bus travel, this retreat, and will assist with that.)
