About this trip

Embrace nature, inspire your yoga practice, and discover the magic that lies in Turkey Run State Park, as you join us on this inspiring winter yoga retreat designed just for you!  Turkey Run State Park is the perfect place to soak up the energy of the ecosystem as we transition through winter. Take this to opportunity refocus and transform journey into your own soul. 

Winter  is a beautiful time of year that encourages us to turn inward, take inventory, and decide what is worth keeping and what we need to let go.  It’s a time of reflection, release and transition. Create your own sense of balance and harmony through yoga, hiking, adventure, exploring, meditation or just basking in nature.    Nourish your body and soul  as you take this opportunity to make this winter truly memorable.  

This retreat is hosted by Marla Helton of Serendipity Yoga with guest teacher  Jessi Burchett with creative photography by Ashley Barnett and creative input from Natasha Elson!


LODGING!

Turkey Run has a wonderful old lodge where you can discover the huge fireplace in the great room, sip coffee on the big balcony looking over the park, swim, hike, explore and take advantage of whatever you want that this amazing park has to offer!      You will make your own reservation through the toll free number 877-563-4371.  We have a block of rooms reserved starting at $95.99 for a single queen bed (plus tax).  You will need to use the code 0131SY to receive this rate.  Rooms are limited so make your reservation as soon as possible. There is also a campground and other places in the area if you prefer not to stay at the lodge. The price of the room is not included in the retreat price.  We have a limited number of rooms available at the discount rate so call soon to get the room you want.   All rooms not reserved prior to Dec. 30 will be released. 

AND WHAT ABOUT MEALS??

  
Of course you want to know about meals!   We will share in a pitch-in on Friday and Saturday evening at a nearby cabin with a kitchen.     There is a nice restaurant at the inn that usually offers a buffet or items off the menu.  Each sleeping room is also supplied with a mini frig, microwave and coffee maker if you choose to bring your own food or snacks.  You are always welcome to leave the park and find a place that suits your palate! 

 

WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO CONSIDER?

  

You will need to provide your own transportation to Turkey Run but if you need a ride I'm sure we will have some folks who could give you a ride.  You will also be responsible for bringing your own props for yoga.  A mat, strap and two blocks and if possible, a blanket should be sufficient.  If you need to borrow props,  just let me know!   Please don't go out and buy anything unless you think you'll use it later.  There is an admission fee to get into the park.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE RETREAT PRICE?

The cost of your retreat includes the cost of the yoga room rental (we added Sunday morning!), yoga classes, goodie bags and planning and organizing to make this a fun and meaningful retreat!  In addition, on Friday evening we will make an essential oils roller ball as a group activity. There will be a session on healthy eating as well as an introduction to tuning forks, myofascial release,  journaling and  a few other surprises along the way!!!

This retreat was everything I could ever have hoped for and exceeded my expectations. Marla's retreat are always top notch but this one was really special. She created an atmosphere of kindness and compassion that was woven into her classes. Marla has a special way of weaving yoga into functional movement that moves beyond traditional Asana The retreat venue was perfect and the food was superb. The 22 women who attended from Canada and the US were so supportive and generous friendship. Truly a retreat I will never forget. Thank you Marla.
