Sacred Stillness: Silent Yoga & Meditation Studio Stay-Cation Retreat
with Kendall Tetsworth
November 8 - 10, 2024
Join Kendall for a weekend-long retreat at the BYC studios, where you’ll have a unique opportunity to delve deeply into meditation and Yoga to explore the practice of embracing the balance of movement with silence and stillness. Through guided Hatha and Yin asana practices, we’ll recognize how Asana evolved to prepare us for seated meditation, integrating insights from both Yogic and Buddhist traditions and how the two have informed one another over time. Learn foundations of meditation while embracing the power of Noble Silence to find new depth in your own practice with the support of community. Whether you're new to meditation and Yoga or looking to deepen your practice, this stay-cation retreat will provide you with the tools and space to cultivate inner peace and clarity.

Who is This For?
This retreat is for you if you are interested in exploring Noble Silence, however a longer retreat seems like too big of a commitment.

There are a total of 17 CEUs available for existing yoga teachers (14 contact + 3 non-contact hours) to apply toward BYC’s 300-Hr Advanced Yoga Studies Program or Yoga Alliance continuing education hours.

CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY
Registration for all events, including trainings and immersion workshops, is non-refundable. However, if you cannot attend, you may transfer your spot to another person by contacting us via phone, email, or in person.
We understand that plans can change, but our no-refund policy helps us maintain the quality and sustainability of our offerings. Organizing events requires significant time, effort, and resources from both the studio and our teachers. In addition, many of our trainings & workshops have limited spacing — last-minute cancellations not only prevent others from attending, but also affect the viability of the event for our dedicated instructors. As a small, local business, your understanding and cooperation not only helps us support our teachers, but also allows us to continue providing enriching experiences for our community!
