Equinox Embodied: Breath, Balance, and Becoming
With Whitney Hwang and Kim Corby
March 19 - 22, 2026
Yoga & Pilates Retreat
Join Kim and Whitney for a grounding and revitalizing 4-day retreat in the Catskills, as we mark the Spring Equinox – a time of equal light and dark, of pause and potential. We invite you to reconnect with your center through intentional movement, stillness, and self-inquiry.
Each day, we’ll move through thoughtfully curated practices in yoga, Pilates, and guided meditation and journaling. Together, we’ll explore the shifting balance of strength and softness, structure and flow, and the quiet unfolding of who we are becoming. You’ll also have time to rest, reflect, and nourish yourself with delicious meals, nature walks, and connection in community. This retreat will have a little bit of everything for a well-rounded experience.
Whether you’re seeking a reset, inspiration, or simply space to breathe, this retreat offers an opportunity to return to yourself, supported by the rhythms of nature, the power of practice, and the magic of Menla.
All levels welcome.
