But our time at Ghost Ranch remains with us ... a beautiful vista, a deep breath, a kind word from a friend - these are the things that characterized our latest Breathe New Life Into Your Life retreat.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-E-7F1aSvW1o/VyOwSt3_P0I/AAAAAAAAAFY/N420PBDcYGARjb6KJ1mejttDhIlxf2xegCLcB/s1600/Ghost%2BRanch%2BCliffs.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-E-7F1aSvW1o/VyOwSt3_P0I/AAAAAAAAAFY/N420PBDcYGARjb6KJ1mejttDhIlxf2xegCLcB/s320/Ghost%2BRanch%2BCliffs.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
On Friday, arrivals trickled in and most of us found each other at dinner time. It was nice to reunite with old friends and new over a meal. Then we were on to yoga! Walking over to our yoga space in the Lower Pavilion required gawking at the scenery around us, of course. Our first practice was all about settling in, opening our bodies and deepening our breath at this high altitude. <br />
<br />
After a good night's sleep it was an early wake-up call to make breakfast before our workshop practice. Three hours of detailed pranayama, discussion, asana and yoga nidra later, we were ready to explore Ghost Ranch for the afternoon. The group split up, many taking the Georgia O'Keefe landscape tour, others hiking the intense Kitchen Mesa or wandering leisurely to admire the beauty and beautiful day. Another practice in the evening rounded out our day with more asana, pranayama and meditation.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iaThl2fbxX4/VyOwBjbzAtI/AAAAAAAAAFU/3FCmJfBMTccCmKB2cTGmZT3lQID5zlK4wCLcB/s1600/Ghost%2BRanch%2BLower%2BPavilion.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="166" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iaThl2fbxX4/VyOwBjbzAtI/AAAAAAAAAFU/3FCmJfBMTccCmKB2cTGmZT3lQID5zlK4wCLcB/s320/Ghost%2BRanch%2BLower%2BPavilion.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
And then it was our last morning. Altogether too short, our time together. Our last practice was geared at integrating techniques and recognizing how we were able to support and nurture ourselves over the course of the weekend.<br />
<br />
Goodbyes are always bittersweet... it was a pleasure and an honor to be a part of your practice and guide your yoga experience. Hope to see you all at our next retreat (Sept in the Gila)!!!<br />

Join us for a deeper exploration April 8-10 at Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu, NM...<br />
<div>

<div>
This is a weekend retreat set in "Georgia O'Keefe Country" where I hope the expansive skies and contemplative nature of the landscape will help you to take your yoga to another level...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We will, as usual, have 4 yoga/meditation/pranayama classes over 3 days but for this weekend our Saturday morning class will be a longer workshop-style class in which we will explore the nitty-gritty of the breath and its powerful impact on our life. We will talk about the physiology of the breath; the physical and yogic anatomy of the breath; work with the breath in postures and in meditation; explore the transformative interplay of breath and relaxation; and commune with the breath in a luxurious yoga nidra practice in this 3 hour morning class :-) Look below for more details about this rejuvenating weekend...</div>

All practices will be especially breath-infused and options for more challenging or gentler modifications will always be offered. You can expect a fair amount of quiet breathing and meditation practices that can be done seated or reclined. I will encourage you to always work at the level that pleases you most in that moment.

What a lovely time we had in Truth or Consequences, NM last month for our annual Breathe New Life Into Your Life retreat. I say it every year... and I am going to say it again... what an amazing group of yogis. It is such a privilege to lead people into their bodies, into their breathe, into relaxation and truth. Thank you all for allowing me to do this for you!<br />
<br />
As always, there was quite a crew behind the scenes making it all possible... many thanks to Grapes Gallery, Firewater Lodge, La Paloma Hot Springs and Spa, Studio de la Luz, Ova Leuthye, Teina Barrett-Wells, Turtleback Oasis, Grapevine Bistro, Brazen Fox and to all who stopped in their day to wish our yogis well - we truly felt loved and supported!<br />
<br />
As you know, this was our first year without Halli Bourne co-teaching. She was was there in spirit, both as she sent us good vibes and we all thought of her throughout the practice. Transition is part of our practice, always. <br />
<br />
The tremendous Maggie Griffin-Taylor joined us to hold space, give reflexology treatments and assist us in our practices on the mat. Her joy and abundance of spirit were amazing and so appreciated by all of us. Thank you, Maggie!<br />
<br />
This year we changed our format a bit to accommodate the Saturday evening Art Walk. This gave us an extra meditation class - a time to really focus inward and become still, helping to deepen our practice over the weekend. I think this will become a regular feature in years to come.<br />
<br />
Speaking of years to come - please mark your calendars to join us next year! Our dates are set for January 6-8, 2017 and registration will open in the fall of 2016.<br />
<br />
Again, thank you to everyone that supported and participated in this retreat - YOU ARE AMAZING!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04716103319518300327noreply@blogger.com0Truth or Consequences, NM, USA33.1284047 -107.252806932.9157982 -107.57553039999999 33.3410112 -106.9300834tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6618048588256183703.post-55454907870442059722015-12-01T17:01:00.003-07:002015-12-08T16:56:20.558-07:00Newsflash!

Croatia offers us the opportunity for a little exploration along the coast in the historic city of Dubrovnick, then some quieter time on the islands of the Adriatic. This nature inspired retreat in a country of unparalleled beauty includes yoga, meals, in country transport, and housing.<br />
