Catskills weekend Retreat ~ At WAGGING TAIL YOGA, bethel, New York

... Our #17th delicious weekend retreat!! ... on Ora's family's amazing 100-acre pristine pastures and woods in Bethel, NY, the Catskills. 

Three nights, four days, of a spacious, long weekend of friendship, fun, laughter, nature, play, rest, and Yoga. We will share healthy, scrumptious meals together, practice yoga in the gorgeous vaulted yoga studio, play table tennis, enjoy the pool, walks, fireside chats. 

Yoga classes are a luscious mix to relax, stimulate, educate and charm you. There is afternoon free time each day for local field trips (friend's house for kayaking on the lake, or other local activities), or for a massage, reading, swimming, napping, walking the woods, meadows, or the organic garden, and lounging in the hammock.

If you are able to leave the city early, spend 2-3 hours at the wonderful Woodstock exhibit in Bethel Woods Museum before our retreat starts!
