Bloom & Breathe: A Spring Catskills Yoga Escape
With Julia Ferguson
April 17 - 19, 2026
Bloom & Breathe: A Spring Catskills Yoga Escape is a weekend invitation to slow down, soften, and reconnect. Set in the fresh, green stillness of the Catskills, this retreat offers space to step away from daily noise and return to your natural rhythm. As spring unfolds, you’ll be supported in doing the same—creating room for renewal, clarity, and ease.
Our days will be gently structured around nourishing practices for both body and mind. Energizing vinyasa yoga will help you build warmth and flow, while deeply restorative yin yoga and yoga nidra invite rest and release. Meditation and pranayama practices will guide you inward, cultivating presence and calm. Between sessions, we’ll explore the beauty of the land with peaceful hikes, breathing in crisp mountain air and grounding ourselves in nature.
Throughout the weekend, you’ll enjoy hearty, thoughtfully prepared vegetarian meals designed to nourish and satisfy, along with plenty of time to relax, reflect, and simply be. Whether you’re resting with a book, sharing quiet conversation, or soaking in the serenity of the surroundings, Bloom & Breathe offers a balanced blend of movement, stillness, and connection—an opportunity to leave feeling refreshed, rooted, and renewed.
