Fall Retreat in Mazama

Embracing Change: The Outer & Inner Landscape

This is a small, intimate retreat where you'll receive personalized attention, support, and care. Together, we'll explore a full spectrum of yogic teachings designed to deepen your practice and expand your understanding—from asana, contemplation, mantra, breathwork, and philosophy to the art of bringing these practices into everyday life in meaningful and supportive ways.

My intention is for this retreat to feel like a warm blanket wrapping itself around you—a space where you can exhale, be nourished, and feel held with whatever is present in your life.

Each year, the group that comes together is unique. In many ways, it feels as though the retreat participants find one another. The combination of people is always different, always wonderful, and always exactly right.

I would be honored to have you join us.

Dates: Thursday, October 22 - Sunday, October 25

Limited space: 14-15 spots available

  • “I loved the yoga retreat in Mazama. Not only was the location absolutely stunning, but the way Nancy managed it and the people she invited were incredible. I love the way she teaches and the space she holds for us all to be on our own mats, exactly as we are. So much gratitude and love.”

    - Carol

  • “Nancy is one of the most capable, compassionate facilitators I’ve ever met. She cultivated a weekend that was so much more than a yoga retreat — she helped us form a beautiful community, learn new ways to rest and connect, and kept us feeling grounded and affirmed.”
