9~6~26 🌀
our first sound & soul yoga retreat is in the books!!! 🩵
layne and I had this idea earlier this year to bring women together to practice yoga, immerse ourselves in nature, find connection through sound (kirtan and sound bath), create, and find community 🙏 ~ anddddd we did it!!
I found Valaterra Retreat Center after I had collaborated on a previous retreat and it was definitely the perfect location for our offerings 🩷
13 of us gathered in la grange, ky sunday morning (where I went to high school!! a full circle moment for me)
in the midst of 90-100 degree weather, on this particular sunday we were blessed with the most beautiful warm, partly cloudly weather with a gentle breeze 😭☀️
layne brought intentionality behind everything ~ from beautiful homemade plates, lotion, lip balm, and bags, to creativity station for crafts, to an incredibly delicious and nutritious Ayurvedic lunch 🥹
I provided a 90-minute vinyasa + yin class while layne provided hands-on assists (after she studied this in her 300 hour training in India!!)
we spent time journaling, connecting, exploring, reading, moving our bodies, and practicing stillness 🙏
we ended our time together with a sound bath + yoga nidra and kirtan under the trees and sounds of nature 🤩
thank you to all who came, shared our offerings with your friends, and supported us!
it was so special to have my very best girls there supporting us Tori Hafner Maddie Nooncaster 💜
and the best behind-the-scenes support and love from Will Hawkins ♥️
stay tuned for layne & marielle’s next adventure together 👀 what are you wanting to see from us next??
in the meantime, join us for our next kirtan Hot Yoga Louisville friday, october 23rd at 7 pm (donation-based) 🥹
