Your body, your oldest friend and steadiest companion.

April 4, 2009 Full Circle Yoga Studio in Vienna, WV
$125 per person, limit 20

Health, wellness and fitness all go together. Your body is the sacred vessel that allows you to do so much. We have gathered an amazing group of women together to help you enjoy and focus on that fact for a day or two.

We have organized a retreat that allows you to spend one day or two with these wonderfully inspiring women. On Saturday, April 4th we have a schedule of events planned to give you as much as we comfortably can. If you would like more time with one of the practitioners, you can schedule dedicated sessions on Sunday, April 5th. You will have the opportunity to do that on Saturday.

Saturday morning
7 am - 11:15 am

7 - 8 am Reception, registration, refreshment - sponsored by Dirtbean Ohana Cafe

8 - 8:30 am Guided meditation - focused on appreciation of the body and all that it does for us.
