Join Patricia Walden and John Schumacher as they return to Feathered Pipe Ranch for a special retreat in celebration of our 50th anniversary!

Both John and Patricia have been teaching yoga for more than 50 years. Over that time, their love for the subject has continued to deepen as has their understanding of the many dimensions that yoga offers us. Their intention in this gathering is to guide the students to a more refined, subtle, internal experience, to take them from the external, the peripheral, the skin to the internal, the core, the soul.

This will require that students be experienced, mature practitioners. Stability in Inversions (Sirsasana – headstand and Sarvangasana – shoulderstand) is necessary. For those with medical or physical conditions that preclude Inversions but who have a solid practice, exceptions may be made.

Daily Schedule:

8am — Breakfast
9:30am-12pm — Active asana practice
12:30pm — Lunch/free time
4pm-6pm — Inversions and pranayama
6:30pm — Dinner/free time
7:45pm — Free time to enjoy community and simply be

Patricia and John will each teach one class per day. They will trade off so that each will teach a morning class one day and an afternoon class the next. The morning class will be a more active dynamic class; the afternoon class will focus on Inversions and preparations for and the practice of pranayama.
