Let’s talk about Yoga
We have 7 mats available onsite. If you are local and can easily bring your own, please do. The style is yin yoga, which is very gentle and calming. It is paired with soft music, and meditation while you relax into a series of soothing postures, which are held for 2-4 minutes each. This is not a workout that will raise your heartrate – please plan another time to do a cardio or muscle building workout during your stay if needed. The neighborhood is great for walking the ‘hollywood’ hills of Austin. You’re welcome to bring tennis shoes or a change of clothes to walk before/after.
Let’s talk about Food
We will discuss any food allergies or preferences on your discovery call. Daily coffee bar and lunch is included in retreat price for Friday – Sunday. Friday is our Tex Mex day, Saturday is BBQ, and Sunday is healthy lunch. I will provide menus and meal choices once you have paid your deposit. I’m happy to make dinner suggestions for those who have registered and paid as well. Lunch is provided onsite, and there are several areas to eat as a group, or to tuck away if you would like privacy or space during lunch.
Let’s talk about Astrology
This retreat is geared for all levels of astrology enthusiasts. I teach as we travel through the topics each day, providing basic information for beginners, as well as high level insight for advanced students. Come with an open mind, and an open heart – I love making astrology fun, digestible, and easy for you.
Discounted Private Astrology Sessions
There are slots available for those who want to have a private, 1:1 session during your retreat that do not conflict with any retreat activities. We will select your time after your discovery call and payment are complete. Normally priced at $350, the retreat price is $250 for a one hour session with me.
Let’s talk about Massage
We have an incredible massage therapist who is offering chair and/or table massages at times that do not conflict with any retreat activities. We will select your time after your discovery call and payment are complete. Normally priced at nearly double, retreat attendees will enjoy hot towels, aromatherapy, and professional, loving, massage therapy ranging from $50-$200 for 30, 60, or 90 minutes via chair or table. Massages are held in a private room onsite. We do not have use of a shower – if you prefer to change clothes after your massage, please bring those with you.
What to Wear
We are very casual here in Austin. Yoga pants and a comfortable top, casual retreat wear – anything you can be comfortable in is great! You’re cute in whatever you wear. Just be comfy. You may wish to pack a swimsuit if you’re exploring any of our natural swimming holes, or want to be in one on the boat. Please check the weather app to plan clothing as well. We will keep the retreat home at a comfortable and reasonable temperature. Yoga clothes/shorts and t-shirts are fine for the morning yoga session and you can stay in them, or bring clothes to change.
What to Bring
We are eco-friendly in ATX. Please bring your own reusable water bottle, and reusable coffee mug if possible. We have filtered water onsite, and extra drinks. Pack a swim suit and tennis shoes if you plan to be on the boat or go for walks. Please bring a journal and pen – or laptop – if you wish to take notes.
Parking at the retreat house
While we can accommodate street parking in the neighborhood with minimal walking – please help us be good neighbors and uber or car pool if possible.
Traveling to Austin
If flying: Fly into Austin Bergstrom International Airport.
Getting around: Austin has uber and lyft services – we recommend both if you are not renting a car.
Venue home: We are in the Highland Park West neighborhood behind Chez Zee off Balcones and 2222. Specific address will be given once we have our discovery call.
Weather: It’s still pretty hot in September – we will keep the retreat home at a comfortable and reasonable temperature (not freezing, not hot). Please check your weather app before packing clothes, and bring layers – things change quickly.
