Dates: Monday December 30 - Thursday January 2, 2020
Retreat Duration: 4 Days/3 Nights
Teacher: Antje Leubbe
Do something special to usher in the new year. Our New Year's Retreat brings consciousness and compassion into this celebratory event. Including yoga and meditation in the days leading up to and after the turn of the year is a great way to embrace and to connect to impermanence and change. A more relaxed schedule will allow you to take in the the last days of 2019 and to reflect upon what you have in life that you can offer gratitude towards.
“For last year's words belong to last year's language
And next year's words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning."
~ T.S. Eliot
The Retreat
Our intention for this New Year's Retreat is simple - celebrate in the presence of like-minded people and really take the time to offer gratitude, compassion and hope to a world that needs it. We believe in the power of collective positive intention, that when a group of people get together and channel their wishes and hopes in an act of concentration and connection, together, we can make an impact in the world. On a personal level, this retreat will encourage you to let go of unnecessary holds from the past and worries of the future as you practice the art of being present. Relax, let go and rejuvenate in beautiful Nong Khiaw. Morning and evening yoga classes, meditation, and a traditional Laos baci ceremony will plant the seeds for smooth transitions ahead. Champagne toast included at midnight on the 31st!

About Antje Lubbe
Antje practiced different types of yoga for 15 years until she moved to Thailand for a job. In Chiang Mai she started practicing Ashtanga and Vinyasa on a regular basis and only then did the Prana really hit her and she understood what is meant by 'Yoga is something I am, not something I do'. She wanted to learn more about the philosophy behind this movement therapy and spread the Love. Numerous workshops and the iflow Teacher Training in Ubud, Bali with Amy Pastore gave her the knowledge and courage to find 'her kind of yoga' and teach it. Antje's teaching style is fluid, modern, playful and dancy, reflecting the many sports and different types of yoga that have influenced her practice. She has been teaching yoga locally and internationally since 2013. Her classes are a perfect balance between intensity and centering and will leave students feeling high and smiling for hours.
