“Before you can lead anyone, first, you have to lead yourself. Knowing what we are in commitment to, embracing challenges, and cultivating our mood plays into the success of our role as leaders in our organizations, teams, companies, communities and families.”
What will the schedule of activities be like?
In addition to all-level, grounded and fluid Vinyasa, Hatha and Slow Flow yoga sessions, you will also explore leadership, and how you can establish and embody foundational practices to develop a more engaging and powerful presence with others, clarify your commitments, and increase your capacity to hold a bigger vision. We will have some fun, too!!!:)
The retreat area is surrounded by 6 miles of trails that weave through oak hills and open meadows, a beautiful location to honor both our inner and our outer worlds.
What does the Leadership aspect of this retreat entail?
I believe before you can lead anyone, first, you have to lead yourself. The Bell Valley Yoga & Leadership retreat will offer you an introduction to embodied leadership practices and principles that you can apply to all aspects of your life.
Together, we will explore how knowing what we are in commitment to, embracing challenges, and cultivating our mood plays in the success of our roles as leaders, in our organizations, teams, companies, communities and families.
Great leaders have the capacity to remain open, centered, and authentic even in the face of breakdowns, excitement or negative emotions.
Over the weekend, in addition to 4 nourishing yoga sessions, I will also guide the group in exploring a myriad of principles that support embodying a more engaging and powerful leadership presence.
What will you need to bring with you to this retreat?
- No experience in yoga or leadership is needed, only a genuine curiosity about what’s possible in the realm of embodiment and leadership. Many of the principals we will work with, are closely related to the teachings of yoga.
- Please bring a journal/notebook and a pen, a yoga mat, warm clothes for gathering outside, and clothes to practice yoga inside a heated yurt.
- ALL the accommodations are in the form of “Glamping Tents”, luxury tents with heated beds. There is a shared bath house (with 4 bathrooms and 3 showers) and outdoor camp kitchen a short walk from each tent. More images & info on Bell Valley Tents HERE
