Retreats & Workshops

clear your mind, breathe deep, stretch, relax, laugh, refresh

The Big Stretch's next Big Retreat is currently being planned for you. During this fabulous weekend you will either begin or deepen your practice of yoga with daily asana, pranayama and meditation classes. Free time to swim in the lake (or build a snowman, depending on the season), enjoy an old-fashioned bonfire, reconnect with nature on a hike or just lay back, relax and enjoy the views will complement this time of learning, healing and rejuvenation. Legendary vegetarian meals will be prepared for you.

These all-inclusive mini-vacations include yoga, hiking, swimming, hot-tubbing or just kicking up your heels and doing absolutely nothing.

The Big Stretch also offers workshops where you can expand, explore and challenge your body, mind and spirit.
