Please join us for a in-town Kula Yoga Retreat held on Friday and Saturday - right at our regular Beautiful Space location.

This will not be your regular retreat:

• The retreat is in town, at our regular practice space.
• You will sleep in YOUR bed, not need for special accommodations.
• No need to commit the entire weekend to the retreat. We will start on Friday night, and finish on Saturday afternoon.
• Food will be provided, no meals to plan, no potluck preparations.

Come spend 24 hours with the Kula. Let your body and spirit remember and experience being held in the embrace of your Kula community. Bask in yourself.

There is still time to make a commitment to yourself, and attend the Spring Retreat.
