Wild Yoga Journey

Align with the rhythms of nature during this five-day immersion set amid Oregon’s stunning Cascade Mountain Range. Leave behind the fast pace of modern culture and rest beside the peaceful Breitenbush River. Witness how your body wants to move each morning in a gentle vinyasa-style yoga asana practice that welcomes you, whatever your level. Listen to your dreams, court your soul, and converse with the wild world. Whisper your longings and heartbreaks to the stars, ask your greatest questions to the whirling water, and receive visions from the wise elder trees in Willamette National Forest to guide you home to your heart. 

Nature is our ultimate yoga teacher because she lives in perpetual asana. Tree branches, trunks, and roots inhabit unique shapes that dance with wind, sun, and soil. Likewise, we can flow with our wild nature, which renews our bodies, hearts, and souls by deepening our relationship with the wild world. When we dive into the crisp, clear river or soak in Breitenbush hot springs, we nourish and awaken our bodies and souls. When we behold an ancient forest returning to life after a 2020 wildfire, our spirits are touched in lovely and surprising ways. 

During this immersion, we’ll listen to the song of the planet, track our dreams, and explore the unique gifts we offer the world. We’ll engage in Earth ceremonies and intimate conversations with the land, noticing how the presence of moss and stream, birds and flowers, moon and tree affects us. We’ll access our deep imagination as we wander in nature. We will track the feelings, images, dreams, and words arising inside us and recognize them as messages from the land, mystery, and our souls. 

Join us to nurture your body and heart while listening deeply. Tap into unordinary ways of perceiving. Enhance your relationships with yourself and the natural world. Open your sensory body, follow the mythic threads of your wildness, and receive glimmers about the part you are called to play in the symphony of life.

This YACEP-certified workshop can be used for 12 hours of CE for Yoga Alliance-certified teachers.
