Sacred Pause: Yoga and Rest For the Turning Season

$175.00

All registrations are non-refundable.

Join us for a one-day yoga retreat designed to prepare body, mind, and spirit for the introspective stillness of late autumn and early winter. While leaves flutter to the earth and the soil finds rest, we too are invited to soften our pace, turn inward, and embrace nature’s quiet wisdom. Let this sacred pause prepare you for the growth to come.

This event will be held at Blueberry Gardens Healing Center in Ashton, MD. This small, privately owned venue feels worlds away from the bustle of DC and is the perfect local space to rest and unwind.

At this retreat, we will:

Slow Down & Restore
Embrace rest through gentle yoga, breath-centered practices, and guided meditation to cultivate inner stillness and deep relaxation.

Reflect & Set Intentions
Turn inward with seasonal intention setting and self-exploration that honor your inner landscape and prepare you for the cycle ahead.

Attune With Nature & Community
Deepen your connection to nature while sharing space and companionship with a like-minded community.

Nourish Body & Senses
Savor grounding snacks and herbal teas across the day. Heighten your sensual awareness through creativity and play.

Your Facilitators:

Beth Pruski and Jen Brennan first met as moms of grade-school, soccer playing sons and later bonded as yoga teachers and friends. Beth and Jen combine deep respect for the teachings of yoga with their heart-centered capacity to hold space for groups of people. Both are passionate about the outdoors, appreciate how seasonal changes mirror human cycles of life, and prioritize creating inclusive healing spaces.

Beth deeply values the sense of connection and community that yoga fosters and is passionate about creating a supportive space where everyone feels welcome. Her teaching emphasizes mindfulness, compassion, and the shared experience of growth through movement and breath. Beth enjoys working with students of all levels and backgrounds, helping them integrate yoga into their overall wellness goals.

Jen believes that yoga is for all bodies and all people. Her teaching blends authenticity with anatomy know-how, the creative use of props, and sequencing that make poses accessible and comfortable. Jen’s deepest wish as a teacher is for her students to delight in the practice of reconnecting with themselves through breath, movement, and rest.
