Last weekend was our annual fall yoga retreat, hosted for the 2nd year by the very gracious innkeepers at Inn at the Rustic Gate near Big Rapids, MI. Thirteen yogis and yoginis enjoyed a variety of yoga classes–Yin, Energy Flow, Ashtanga, Partner Yoga & Thai Yoga Massage–and spent their free time walking and mountain-biking in the woods, getting massages, enjoying an autumn equinox bonfire, and spending time around the dining room table, eating delicious locally-sourced, vegetarian meals and partaking in interesting conversations. New this year was a beautiful labyrinth that the innkeepers recently had built, where retreatants could spend time in mindful walking meditation. We have already scheduled our fall weekend retreat at Inn at the Rustic Gate for next year, so mark your calendar for September 27-29, 2013, and plan to spend time relaxing in this peaceful, beautiful place!
