Yoga on High Annual Retreat

In our busy-every-second-of-the-day world, it is more important than ever to put aside our to-do lists, our jobs and even the demands of our families so we can awaken to our essential nature of peace and joy. For the past eight years, Marcia, Martha and Linda have led weekend silent retreats. This year, we offer our popular weekend option along with an extended, five-day retreat option, giving you the opportunity to deepen further into your yoga practice – all in a beautiful retreat center at Grailville, outside Cincinnati.

Our retreat theme this year is meditation in its various guises. We will provide basic instruction for those new to meditation and longer sitting sessions for experienced meditators. There will be lots of time for pranayama, asana, walking and personal reflection. We hear from students who have attended previous retreats that the retreats were relaxing, energizing and inspiring, and that these effects lasts a long time.

If you have never attended a silent retreat, please don’t be intimidated. Even self-described “talkers” report that they prize the silence of the retreat above all else. The instructors speak and lead practices. And with the pressures of normal social conversation absent, the group forms a unique and powerful bond in silence.

The retreat fee includes all yoga instruction, housing, and three delicious vegetarian meals per day. Arrive anytime after 3:00 pm on Friday. The weekend retreat ends at 3:00 pm on Sunday, the weeklong ends at 3:00 pm on Wednesday.

Date:  Friday, March 5 through Wednesday, March 10

Cost:  $625 for the 5 days, $350 for the weekend before February 5. After that cost is $675 for the 5 days and $375 for the weekend. All accommodations are double occupancy, though a few singles will be available for extra charges. A $50 non-refundable deposit will hold your spot.
