Details
Warm, welcoming regional studio space bridging the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes regions. The indoor studio space is on the ground floor with double sliding glass doors which allow for natural light and clean air. A short walk to a private creekside location hosts a level, grassy surface. Here yoga mats are found to be surrounded by trees and the open sky. The outdoor scene is weather permitting. While, an open air pole barn also allows for connection to nature. The big pole barn provides shelter and shade. Nearby birds and honeybees are also surrounded by the native plants and trees. This retreat is a hot spot for bird lovers. The location sits on a natural migratory pathway and has known woodland and marshland bird habitats. In several minutes, try identifying a new bird song! There is a grounding experience that will naturally occur during the forest bathing and outdoor yoga class. This retreat will bring you back to nature, promoting relaxation and restoration for your mind, body, and spirit.
