Join me in this magical location in Gardiner, New York,

Extended morning and evening practices are an opportunity to take the time and dive deep.
To understand, to feel and to integrate stability into fluid and energizing practices.
To slow down and settle the body into deeply nourishing and restorative Yoga poses.

Bringing presence to self, to others, and to the living world, we will take time to integrate the various aspects of our practice:
the physical, the emotional, and the spiritual, both on and off the mat.

Co-Lead Retreats

May 17th - 19th 2024
Co-lead with Sonia Reiter
A weekend retreat for pregnant people

Pregnancy is a wild ride. Week by week, you are transformed, shifting and shaping in new ways, creating space inside for your baby to grow and preparing for the intense physical and emotional experience of birth. Soon you will be a parent to someone you know and also don’t know. It is a fruitful time to step away and give yourself space and time to care for your body and spirit and to nourish yourself with movement, knowledge, rest, nature, delicious food and meaningful conversation.
The retreat will include daily yoga practice, a workshop on the core and pelvic floor and how to prepare them for birth, contemplative practices and more. Lara will offer limited slots of prenatal massage for an additional fee.
