The Yoga Experience proudly announces the second annual Fall Yoga Retreat at Abundant Harvest Farms! We are thrilled to present this retreat-style yoga offering. Please consider this an invitation to MAKE time for you! It’s an invitation to slow down, nourish your body and mind, and connect with your community through yoga, meditation and fresh, organic farm-to-table, food.
Nestled in the heart of a pecan orchard and surrounded by 40-acres of green pastures, Abundant Harvests farm is located in Baker County, 30 minutes west of Jacksonville, FL. The day starts at 9AM in the barn with a welcome from Abundant Harvest owners, Calvin and Caria Hawkins. After learning about the farm, Brigid & Steve will co-lead an incredibly grounding 90 minutes of gentle, yin-based yoga session leaving your body and mind relaxed and rejuvenated. Yin yoga is great for beginners, advanced practitioners, athletes, pretty much everyone!
After yoga, it’s time to eat! Enjoy a delicious, vegetarian brunch, including farm-to-table dishes and other yummy treats! Beverages will include Abundant Harvest’s own pecan-roasted coffee, an assortment of organic teas, and water.
After brunch, enjoy a walk about the farm, a few quiet moments overlooking the pond, or lying in the grass staring up at the gorgeous pecan trees. We’ll end the day with a second gentle yoga practice that concludes with an ancient guided meditation called Yoga Nidra. The technique allows us to enter a deep state of meditation (“yogic sleep”) and helps us release muscular, mental, and emotional stress. It is truly a transformative practice.
What to Bring:
Yoga Mat/Towel
Comfortable shoes (for walking, if you choose)
Jacket (depending on weather)
Water bottle (we will have water available but bringing your own container is earth-friendly and greatly appreciated!)
On the Day of Event:
Parking areas will be marked accordingly.
We have a full experience planned for you starting at 9am, so please consider arriving an extra 10-15 minutes to allow for parking, check-in and getting settled.
We hope you’ll join us down on the farm for a day of yoga, food, friends & relaxation! See you there!
