Disconnect to Reconnect...
In the foothills of the oldest mountains in the world, allow yourself time to reconnect with the space between the breath, movement, and time itself. Step out of your daily life to find solace, then step back in with techniques to maintain space and let breath carry you through your life.
Our lives are full of constant movement and change. We strive to find balance and joy within the flow, yet we often do not create space to notice the beauty that surrounds us. Within this space wherever it may be we find joy, bliss, and breath. The space always exists, so how can we be more mindful of our ability to create, step into and enjoy it?
As spring brings new life to the mountains, rivers, and forests, it is also a perfect time to align our intentions to walk a new path. This 25 day journey provides you the time and space to connect with the abundant nature of Seven Springs in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. We will examine how we each create space by exploring our own passions, studying the ancient traditions of yoga, and immersing ourselves in a holistic lifestyle to nourish our bodies, minds and spirits.
We will focus our study on yoga philosophy, energetic principles, and yoga asana (alignment, anatomy, and teaching). In addition, we will explore spiritual traditions from the South American Andean Quechua, Central American Mayan, and North American Cherokee and Lakota traditions.

As we each share our own passions, we will also explore different moving meditations like dancing, hiking and singing. To connect with the land surrounding Seven Springs, we will practice hands on workshops for making medicinal herbal remedies and natural products. We will collaborate with local healers from the Cherokee nation and traditional Appalachian naturopathy. We are excited to offer opportunities for you to incorporate yogic principles in all aspects of your daily life! |
