September 2026 Wellness Weekend

The Hidden Wisdom of Yoga

Led by Sofia Juarez


This wellness weekend:

Most of us come to yoga through the body. We learn the postures, stretch, breathe and leave feeling better. But beneath the physical practice lies an ancient philosophy designed not simply to make us more flexible, but to help us live with greater clarity, purpose and freedom.

This immersive weekend is an invitation to slow down and rediscover the deeper intention behind yoga. Through movement, discussion, meditation and shared meals, we'll explore the timeless wisdom that has quietly shaped this practice for thousands of years—and how it can transform the way we meet everyday life.

Whether you're new to yoga or have been at it for years, you'll leave with a lovely freshness in how you relate to the practice.
