Spring Tune-Up: A weekend retreat in the North Cascades

Awaken to the vitality of spring with a weekend of nourishing food,  herbs and yogic presence. We will explore the idea of 'food as medicine', preparing simple ayurvedic recipes and herbal teas, supplementing this with asana and pranayama practice, sauna time and silence. Support body and mind as we move into the season of heightened energy and activity!
