Revitalizing Hatha Yoga and Meditation Retreat!



Samyak Yoga Seattle introduces its first Northwest style traditional Hatha Yoga Retreat!

Teachers Jess and Siri have recently returned from their studies in India and are thrilled to share fresh and modern perspectives on yoga, grounded in a beautiful traditional lineage of practice and intention.

If taking a weekend away to re-energize yourself and learn more about traditional yoga is something that would interest you, please read on about our retreat!  

What:  This is an introduction to traditional Hatha yoga, including asanas (postures), pranayama (breathing), meditation, and a brief intro to yoga theory. We will provide a variety of classes over the weekend including but not limited to beginner and intermediate Hatha, vinyasa flow, gentle restorative, and creative partner yoga. Classes will include pranayama practice and guided meditation.  Participants are welcome to attend as many or as few classes as they wish. The retreat will be open to a maximum of 20 attendees. New Yogis are welcome, but those already practicing will not be bored!  We want you to leave feeling relaxed, energized, and with a deeper understanding of yoga and your own practice.
When: The afternoon of September 27th to afternoon of September 29th. 
See full schedule under schedule tab. 
Where: North Cascades Institute in Diablo, Washington, which strives to conserve and restore Northwestern environments through education.  They have a beautiful facility, comfortable accommodation, and delicious, seasonal organic meals sourced locally.  All of this is included in the price!
