Awaken to Spring Day Retreat

by Jennifer Nice on Mar 30, 2025 category Retreats, Yoga

The Spring Equinox officially landed March 20th. Yet, here in the Pacific Northwest, the spring season lurches in and out endlessly with paradoxes: sunshine and raindrops, warmth and chill, blue skies and gray clouds, splashy blooms and mucky mud. Let’s welcome in ALL of it and gather together for a day to energize and revitalize with the healing powers of nature and yoga.

Please join me at the serene and peaceful Trappist Abbey, situated on acres of lush forest land between Carlton and Lafayette. Our retreat will take place in the Founder’s Room, as well as outdoors, and will include yoga, guided breath work, an anchoring meditation among the trees, and independent time to hike and/or rest in the quietude.

Winter Solstice Candlelight Yoga

by Jennifer Nice on Nov 29, 2024 category Retreats, Yoga

Saturday, December 21st | 4:15-6:00 pm

Step away from the holiday bustle for candlelight yoga on the shortest “day” of the year, Winter Solstice. Together we’ll slow down, savor stillness, dissolve tension, and cultivate calm through yin and restorative yoga.

In yin yoga we hold and soften into deep passive stretches for extended periods of time. Yin targets the connective tissues in the body, which fosters relaxation and enhances flexibility. Slow paced yin encourages a meditative state, allowing you to calm your mind, balm your spirit, and nourish your body.

Restorative yoga promotes rest and respite. Utilizing props, such as bolsters and blankets, in each pose to provide support and comfort, this gentle practice allows you to power down, release effort, and enter into quietude and peace.

All levels welcome. Yoga mats and props provided, or bring your own.

$25/person. Space is limited and pre-registration is required. Click here to register.

Glo | 1300 NE Adams Street | McMinnville, Oregon 97128

Reset & Restore – Day Retreat

by Jennifer Nice on Sep 5, 2024 category Retreats, Yoga

As summer slips into the rear view mirror and we pivot towards all things fall, I invite you to carve out a day of intention to “reset and restore” at an autumn retreat. The shift in seasonality can be an ideal time to pause, reflect, and tune into our intuition for the days ahead.

Please join me at the serene and peaceful Trappist Abbey, situated on acres of lush forest land between Carlton and Lafayette. Our retreat will take place in the Founder’s Room, as well as outdoors, and will include yoga, meditation, guided breath work, nature walks, and quiet time.

Location: Trappist Abbey, 9200 NE Abbey Rd. Carlton, OR 97111
