I went to this yoga retreat with no expectations, other than to find a new way to move my body without pain. But I never counted on finding such uplifting energy, so much enlightenment, and a beautiful sense of sisterhood with women I just met. Christina and Carley found the perfect location along the Lochsa River in the natural beauty of the Idaho Rocky mountain forests. The classes, the setting, and the community of like-minded souls was a perfect way for me to celebrate my 70th birthday, which just happened to fall on the same weekend of this retreat, and on summer solstice. It felt like a calling that I couldn't ignore. And the delicious vegetarian meals prepared by the culinary chef were amazing! There were so many things to love about this weekend that I came home and immediately wrote down my thoughts. Before I was done, I had a six-page outline of one of the best birthday gifts I could have given myself. The Wild Idaho Yoga Festival was a treat for body, mind and soul. I'll be back!
