Dear Friends,

I invite you to join me this New Years, for this special celebration + rejuvenation retreat at the beautiful Sun Mountain Shala retreat center, in Manitou Springs, Colorado. We are excited to host our (almost) 6th annual New Years retreat  (we took a year off last year !) – in the majestic foothills of the Rocky Mountains.  This will be a great time of going inwards, being in community and diving deep into the practices of yoga, chanting and meditation that strengthen body, mind and soul.  Our New Year’s retreats offer a powerful time of reflection + healing + connection + rejuvenation.  Taking some time for yourself in the support of spiritual practice and  community, as we move into the fullness of another year.
Healing with the Five elements 
We will focus on rejuvenation and healing through all the elements; earth, water, fire, air + ether, but especially thru the water element, which holds a resonance with the rejuvenation of the soul.  Sun Mountain retreat is affiliated with its sister spa SunWater Spa, which is just down the road where we will have soaking time every day in the redwood tubs that overlook the mountains. The water is drawn from a deep aquifer underneath Manitou Springs, heated by the sun (solar power) and flows into the tubs.  SunWater spa is a mind-blowingly beautiful and healing place.  I will share teachings on the five elements and how to use the elements through Yoga for healing and rejuvenation.
Sun Mountain Shala+ Sun Water Spa 
Sun Mountain is a beautiful retreat center in Manitou Springs, that is comprised of three historical properties.
