Stress Relief and Relaxation Weekend

Stress Relief and Relaxation

Stress has been determined to be the #1 cause of all illness and disease. During this Stress Relief and Relaxation Weekend Retreat we will be working in alliance with the mind, body and breath, where one can learn to not only effectively reduce stress, but one can actually achieve a deep sense of peace and well-being.

The course is based on the time-tested practice of yogic principles that are proven to be highly effective and easy to learn regardless of a person’s experience in Yoga. Come join us for this special course to learn practical Yoga techniques to reduce stress and build stress resilience.
