For your consideration
Having a stable relationship with your yoga practice
is hugely valuable and important for this retreat
(meaning this retreat is not appropriate for newbies),
but more than this
is to access HUGE willingness from within your heart
to dive in and expand
beyond what you think is possible
in your ability to be freely, joyfully expressed!

This of utmost importance!!!

How much love are you willing to receive?

How much communion are you prepared to handle?

Accommodations
You will enjoy a spacious double room with its own bathroom!
All rooms will be made up with twin beds
but can be made into a king if you are a couple.

The Food
All meals are included and will be delicious,
mostly vegetarian meals that will be prepared for us.

We'll have cream/milk for coffee and almond milk as our non-dairy option.
If you have specific needs, please let me know as soon as you book.
Fresh and as local as possible is our goal!

!! Yoga Mats!!
This is a new one for me to address but important for comfort!
You NEED your own mat!!!!
We will be practicing on a hard tile floor
so I HIGHLY encourage you to double up mats (bring 2)
OR
bring your Manduka mat, if you have one.
We will not have props, so if you're inspired, bring an extra blanket
or tush-cush, a block, etc.

Treatments
We may have the opportunity to have a massage therapist
come to the retreat house for treatments on Thurs, Fri, & Sat.
I will keep you posted as this unfolds, including costs.
Plan to bring extra cash if you are interested in a session.

What to bring beyond the obvious
~ Yoga mats
~ Hiking shoes & Hat
~ Backpack
~ Water bottle
~ Bathing suit & pool towel
~ Sunscreen
~ Whatever makes you most comfortable!
(check the week's weather before you come)

Arriving
Plan your flight/travel so that you can be at the retreat center by
4pm on Wed, May 12th
We will offer an airport pick up/drop off service
for $25 EACH way.
The retreat is about 30-40 south of Canyonlands Airport in Moab.
(let me know at time of booking if you need pick up/drop off)

Departing
We will have a closing session Sunday morning, then breakfast.
Departure is after breakfast and official check out is by 12pm.
If you are flying and leaving on Sunday AND you need us to take you to the airport,
please plan a later afternoon flight.


Renting a car & driving to Moab
If you are interested in road tripping at all,
you may consider flying into Salt Lake City or Denver
and driving 4ish hours from either direction to Moab.

4 Wheel drive is recommended for where we are staying
but not imperative as you can park your car near by
and we will bring you to the house.


Flights
Book flights to Canyonlands Airport (CNY)
(most flights will connect in Denver)
Expedia.com is the best for searching
or check Frontier Airlines & United

Canyonlands is a tee-tiny airport, so don't expect to rent a car there!

Air Fare and Travel Arrangements

We will be there to greet you. Airport pick-up is $25 each way. Once you have your itinerary, please email a copy of it to me at meredithyoga@mac.com. You can also call me with any questions 541-490-3170.
