Join White Lotus and the artful Phoebe Diftler for a nurturing and transformational weekend nestled in our glorious mountain retreat. Rock your mind into that gentle lull of pampered perfection as you have your body rolled into luxurious shapes of yogic bliss. Learn to give or simply enjoy receiving Thai Massage, the beautiful and complementary sister art of Yoga. During this weekend you will also either begin or deepen your practice of Yoga with asana, pranayama and meditation classes daily. Legendary vegetarian meals and free time to hike, swim in natural rock pools, read or just soak in the hot tub will complement this time of learning, healing and rejuvenation.

This weekend training is open to everyone. It is a great additional modality for Yoga teachers and massage therapists or for anyone interested in well being, healing and bodywork. All participants successfully completing the course will receive a certificate of completion.

Phoebe's gentle power leads you through a journey that nurtures, heals and transforms, setting new highs for creating sacred space. --Tracey & Ganga

I would love to explore more

Take nothing for granted. That's what I tell myself, steadied between two crutches. I have never broken anything before and hope this is the first and last time. Teetering upon a broken foot I am grateful for so many things, among them the beauty and the elegance of the pivot; a move I currently long for and meditate upon heavily as it has been removed from my repertoire of motion.

The pivot is one of life's most graceful moves and it gives us such freedom. It is the move that allows us to change our mind, transition between this and that, and shows us that we can not really ever be in two places simultaneously...we only think we can. The pivot, if studied closely, can teach us presence.

Having a dancer's fracture (at least I got one with an elegant title), I have joined the ranks of those who have experienced a very frequent and common injury. And with this comes the study of patience, and the practice of presence as everything becomes a walking meditation.

pivot here and read on...

If I may not be long for this world,
Then I profess nothing.
Or that I have nothing.
Or that I am nothing.
Or that,
Everything is nothing when placed upon the backdrop of certain uncertainty.
