Retreat into the Heart –
A Full Day Yoga Retreat
Sunday, March 13, 2022
with Julianne Rice, Calvin Darling and Cathy Hutton
Our journey into the heart of nature spent time on our yoga mats and enjoying the company of friends. We looked into our hearts and revisited their desires. It was a time to take care of the “you” underneath all the busy-ness. The “you” that needs special time away from it all. The “you” that enjoys getting some space so you can unwind and reset.
Retreat into the Heart is a theme carried throughout our day and onto our mats. Practicing yoga is a wonderful way to care for the heart. The breathing practices, especially ujjayi (victorious breath) and alternate nostril breaths strengthen the heart/mind connection and as a result help to balance and steady the activity of the heart. The standing poses help to strengthen the heart. And the heart opening exercises help to relieve tension, improve circulation and lift our mood — relieving stress and settling the heart, literally and metaphorically.
