Awakening the Wisdom of the Body

A Somatic Yoga & Movement Retreat

Nestled in the healing landscape of Menla in the Catskills, Awakening the Wisdom of the Body is a four-day somatic yoga and movement retreat with Bobbie Ellis and Karin Weinstein. Through gentle movement, breath awareness, guided rest, and creative exploration, participants are invited to slow down, listen deeply, and rediscover the body’s innate intelligence.

This retreat offers a supportive, trauma-informed environment for cultivating ease, resilience, and vitality. With time for practice, reflection, and restoration, you’ll leave with practical tools and embodied insights that can be woven into daily life.
