July 30-August 1, 2010:
From Garden to Plate: A Yoga Retreat with Vivekan
Heathen Hill Retreat Center/Photos via: Andrew DeVigal
WHAT: A blissful weekend of yoga and seasonal living. When not practicing invigorating and restorative yoga sessions with the seasoned yogi, we’ll be practicing mindfulness off-the-mat–eating mostly organic, seasonal meals derived locally, straight from the beautiful retreat center’s property!
Seasonal, garden-fresh dinner in the Plum House
WHERE: At the gorgeous Heathen Hill Retreat Center located in New York’s nearby Catskills.
WHEN: From Friday evening, July 30 to Sunday afternoon August 1.
WHY: It’s a wonderful opportunity to de-stress in the fresh country air, escape the hot city summer, and strengthen your yoga practice. Not to mention indulge in nourishing, nutritious and delicious organic seasonal cuisine! Yoga practitioners seek balance in the body. Eating local, seasonal foods helps guide us into greater harmony with the earth’s natural cycles; and therefore brings us healthy equilibrium.
