Spring Mindful Yoga Retreat
Jonathan Weber
Join us for a nourishing spring retreat on Mindful Yoga, combining mindfulness, compassion-based practices, and gentle explorations of non-dual presence as an embodied path of awakening.
Over these days we explore how mindful movement, grounding somatic awareness, and simple resting-in-being can support a deeper sense of calm, clarity, and wholeness. This retreat is suitable for everyone. The teachings build naturally from Mindful Yoga, while gently opening toward the more spacious and effortless dimension of awareness found in non-dual traditions—revealing how embodied practice itself can form a complete path, supporting and gradually maturing into a more direct recognition of our true nature.
No prior yoga experience is required. This retreat welcomes both beginners and more experienced practitioners. Mindful Yoga is a gentle and accessible approach, with an emphasis on inner awareness, breath, and felt experience rather than physical performance or achieving poses.
Our time together includes:
- Mindful Yoga sessions for grounding and restoring balance
- Guided mindfulness and compassion meditations
- Embodied practices for nervous-system relaxation
- Gentle introductions to non-dual awareness
- Teachings on awakening through the body and everyday life
- Time in nature, silence, rest, and shared presence
If you are seeking space, renewal, and an accessible way to deepen your practice, this retreat offers a loving and supportive environment. Whether you are familiar with my Mindful Yoga teachings or new to the path, you are welcome.
