what to expect

Your Personal DAY comes!  You arrive, park in the driveway, and are greeted by Erin.  Sit down with a cup of tea in the yoga studio to refine your plan, or make your way straight to the action! 

There are places to change and shower accessible from both the yoga studio and the backyard. (The lower level shower actually opens to the backyard, for an outdoor shower feel!)

Erin will guide you in your chosen activities.  Depending on your request, she'll either encourage you to challenge yourself, or she'll challenge you to give yourself a break!  (Often that's a harder task in our culture.)  

She'll point out plants and wildlife you might otherwise miss: a heron at the water's edge; an osprey circling in the sky; a lady slipper tucked alongside the trail.

Erin will bring a yoga mindset and breathing to all activities, keeping you in the moment, whether you are pushing yourself hard up a hill, or gliding peacefully on the water. 

You'll transition from one activity to the next as best suits your mood; no rushing.  If you decide to change the pace, or even an activity, on the fly, that's OK, too.

If you'd prefer to do some of the activities on your own, or with just your friends, family or spouse that you brought along, that can be accomodated as well.

All sessions end with relaxation, either in the yoga studio, or in the hammock...
