Our Yoga + Beer Team is coming together for a slow-paced weekend of nourishment for your mind, body, belly and soul in the old growth forest of Vernonia, Oregon. Mikki Trowbridge will be leading our yoga and meditation practices, Juli Greenwald will be leading yoga nidra, and Yuliya Bohan will be nourishing your soul from the kitchen. Join us for three days and two nights as we slow down and linger a little longer in the woods.
The Pint-Sized Summary
This Yoga + Beer Retreat is different than any of our other retreats - as we leave the city and head out into nature to let trees, rivers, and open space work their healing magic. Over the river and through the woods, you’ll find Liminalia, a sanctuary where time moves a little more slowly and the stars shine a bit brighter. We’ll sleep in cabins, hang out with goats and donkeys, and wander through the woods. Over the course of the weekend, you’ll explore asana and meditation with Mikki, Yoga Nidra with Juli, reflection in the woods, a bonfire within community, and have space and time to enjoy a massage and relax in the sauna. Yuliya Bohan will be nourishing our bellies while she shares her love of food and cooking.
This Yoga + Beer retreat will include four yoga/meditation classes, one yoga nidra session, six meals, one massage, adult beverages at dinner, and lodging at Liminalia. More details below …
About Liminalia
Designed by yoga-loving individuals, who also love Oregon and trees, Liminalia is the perfect refuge for a cozy, spring get away. The property is surrounded by endless forest and a calming river in Vernonia, Oregon, which is about 50 minutes from Portland or ninety minutes to two hours from Salem - depending on your choice of scenic or more scenic drive. The entire farm house and property will be ours for the weekend, providing lots of space to wander and explore, and plenty of time away. Lodging will be spread out across the property in several cabins and meals will be served together in the main farm house. You can see more photos and details about Liminalia here.
Yoga Practices
This retreat includes four yoga and meditation classes led by Y+B Founder, Mikki Trowbridge, and one Yoga Nidra session led by Y+B Teacher, Juli Greenwald. Mikki’s practices are 90 minutes and are a similar vinyasa/flow style to our regular Yoga + Beer classes - but we use these retreats as an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the yoga practice. We will spend time learning more about the poses, the subtleties within the shapes, breathwork, meditation, and the limbs of yoga. Practices will be inclusive of all levels of yogi, with lots of options given. Practices are held in the yoga studio at Liminalia.
Meals & Refreshments
Your belly and your thirst will be well taken care of all weekend, because no one wants a hangry yogi. All of your meals will be included, starting with welcome snacks on Friday afternoon, and continuing through brunch on Sunday. And because it’s a Yoga + Beer Retreat, we will be providing beer and wine at dinners. You are welcome to bring additional beverages to share and enjoy. Y+B Teacher, Yuliya Bohan has a love for cooking and nourishing the body through food. Yuliya will be infusing that love into our meals over the weekend, in alignment with the group’s dietary needs.
Lodging
All lodging for this retreat is shared occupancy in cabins scattered around the property, but within an easy walk from the main farmhouse. Cabins sleep 2-5 yogis and are warm, adorably decorated and super cozy. You can browse the cabins here. Once you have made your deposit, you can submit a request for cabin or number of roommates. Yogis will be assigned to Gray Haven, White House, or Orchard. All other cabins are full at this time.
Retreat Schedule
Our retreat will begin with an evening yoga class at 5:30pm on Friday, April 5th, although you will be welcome to arrive earlier to settle into the property and enjoy the woods. May we recommend you take at least a half day off from work to fully enjoy the weekend. Our retreat ends after brunch on Sunday, April 7th. Each day will include plenty of free time and quiet time for you to do your own adventuring and exploring on the property - with opportunities of connection and community facilitated through meals, bonfires, and moments of reflection.
