*Abhyanga is a therapy that includes application of an abundant amount of warm herb infused oil throughout the body. It not only nourishes the skin, it is a massage of your internal body systems and organs, it’s a journey we go on together to allow channels to open up and healing to begin or flourish.
** This event is optional. This hike location is tentative and dependent on the fitness level of all participants. The hike – and travel to and from the trail – are not insured as part of the retreat at the Salt Spring Centre of Yoga.
***It is recommended (and deeply appreciated) to attend the closing circle to share out loud with the group your closing thoughts from the weekend, the ritual of ending something together and feeling complete.
