Mini-Retreat at The Yoga Barn

Join Paige Williamson and Traci Jo Lee for a 24-hour immersion into the work that we do on retreat with sault108. Enjoy a tiny taste of our weekend retreat in the classic city of Athens, GA.

Yoga stretches the fabric of our lives, shines a light on potential, and deconstructs limiting beliefs. When we are away on retreat and disconnected from our normal daily routine, we can participate more fully in the process of practice. We have an abundance of time to bask in the teachings and be supported by like-minded community.

-THIS location

-A healthy dose of GOOD food.

-A steady diet of deep and thoughtful yoga practice

-Content:  We will spend time exploring our edges through the vehicle of our bodies, minds, and souls.

The Edge:
The concept of the “edge” has deep roots in yoga and is found across many styles, ranging from vigorous Vinyasa to the slower pace of Yin. In the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, sutra 2.46 explains that every posture should be stable (sthira) and also comfortable (sukha).
Sthira can also be translated as strong, courageous, or firm—it embodies the challenge of a pose. Sukha can be translated as happy, easy, gentle and agreeable; it embodies the gentle comfort of a pose. When you are exploring your edge, these terms can help us understand the balance between challenge and ease.

Feb Overview: During our February mini retreat, we collectively skimmed (toured maybe) the surface of our edges, or perceived limits, with ample opportunity to submerge ourselves into the more subtle edges of our bodies, minds, and souls through asana practice, journalling, and meditation.

A Reprise of the Edge: At our May mini-retreat, we will provide guests with a brief overview of the concept of The Edge. We will spend time exploring our edges through the vehicle of our bodies, minds, and souls. Each asana practice will emphasize one of the three aspects of our being (physical, mental, and spiritual). Expect a bit of the unexpected too! Guests will enjoy a practice outside, and a moderate amount of time to connect with other guests if desired.

The Flow:
