Yoga & Hiking Retreat

High Peaks of the Adirondack Mountains

We invite you to this special retreat in the Adirondacks at a time that is especially superb for getting out into the glory of hiking in the Adirondacks. Yoga and hiking offer a complementary mix for awakening the senses to your true nature.

Yoga, the ancient science of self awareness, can take you on an inward journey to put you in touch with your soul, the root of your being, and to unify body, mind and spirit.  Hiking is an adventurous great low-impact aerobic activity that allows you to connect your body with your spiritual side.  Each step you take unites you with the beauty and serenity of nature.  The wilderness solitude or views of unbroken forest, lakes and mountains will be enhanced and explained by a licensed guide. Mary Bartel will guide you through yoga and meditation sessions on and off the trail.  Optional evening sessions will be offered (see schedule).
