Labor Day Coast Retreat in Yachats, Oregon
Practice Lab Southwest

Carve out a little time for yourself these last weeks of summer.

The weather has been unpredictable, and everyone I know is up to their ears in projects and transitions.

I myself have been hosting visiting family members while remodeling a bathroom and learning to install hardwood floors.

Plus I flew down to SF for a weekend to make a recording with my father's incredible Jazz Sextet! There's me getting a selfie with the incredible musicians that raised me from a sprout, and continue to inspire me on the daily.

And as wonderful as it is to lead a full-spectrum life, it's important to cordon off some time to tend to yourself.

A little yoga getaway is one of the best ways I know to check that particular self-care box.

P-Lab South West - THIS Tues, Aug 13th

(Um - that's tomorrow)

Practice Lab is 2 luxurious hours to spread out and deepen your inquiry into the workings of asana. I'll lead the sequence and practice right along side you, this time in this beautiful intimate home studio in the Southwest hills.

A different kind of learning happens at Lab -- one that supports students in taking ownership of their Yoga. A full spectrum of asanas will inspire both inquiry and insight -- and I'll be right there to offer feedback and tips on methodology and alignment, and generally act as a sounding board as we work through our processes together.

Warning: friendships tend to develop or deepen at Yoga Practice Lab, and laughter erupts with some regularity.

Plus -- check_out_that_view!

Cost is $20 - $30 -- pay what you can venmo or paypal me to alisonalstrom@gmail.com, and I'll respond with location details.

And of course, email me any time with questions.

10th Annual Labor Day Coast Retreat in Yachats, Oregon

This is no ordinary Yoga retreat.

We'll practice in the tearoom Yachats Inn, a long-loved coastal getaway with views of the water from many of its rooms which range from luxurious to retro-funky. You can stay at the Inn, and most of us do, but you'll work out the lodging piece as you see fit. We eat in the restaurants and coffee shops in town, or shop at the farmer's market and cook for ourselves, creating a flexibility and sense of community that is lacking in many retreat experiences.

Many students who regularly attend bring their spouse and sometimes their children along to enjoy the beach during the day, leaving the evenings to reconnect and share. Other retreaters share a room with fellow yogis, for a weekend on the cheap, or splurge on a sweet for themselves for deep reflection as summer turns to fall.

To celebrate year ten, I am walking back the cost for the retreat to its 2010 price point of $160. You can venmo or paypal me to alisonalstrom@gmail.com, bring a check with you to class, or email me for a mailing address to reserve your spot. The cost for the yoga part of the retreat includes four extended asana practices -- early afternoon on Saturday, morning and an evening Sunday, and Monday morning, and meditation instruction both Sunday and Monday mornings.

Call the Yachats Inn today to reserve a room. Act fast, because the Inn does fill up. Lodging can run anywhere from $45 a night for sharing a room to $135 for a suite of your own. There is a modern wing and an "original" wing, which is practically on the beach, accepts pets and has a decidedly "vintage" feel. Note -- I love the original rooms, but they may not be for everyone.

It all begins Saturday, Aug, 31st at 3pm!
