As the summer comes to an end, escape the sticky city streets and find a breath of fresh air in the Catskills! Join Lauren Fecarotta, creator of Kali Yoga Detox and Jen Guarneiri, for a 4 day yoga detox in the mountains! Spend your days meditating under the rising sun, relaxing in freshwater swimming ponds, hiking through some of New York's most picturesque lands, eating cleansing food and juice, and soaking in the sweet flow of Vinyasa and Restorative yoga. Explore upstate farmers' markets or just kick back under a tree with a good book. Learn how to cook clean, life-giving foods at home or simply float in the pond with a fresh juice in hand.
Give yourself the time and space to let go of the physical and emotional sludge weighing you down. You'll go home a cleaner, happier, lighter you!

This fourth of July we will be holding a retreat at Seven Arrows, which is a beautiful retreat home on the Navesink River, 2.5 miles from Sandy Hook Beach and across the street from Hartshorne Woods. Only a 45 minute ferry ride from Manhattan, Seven Arrows is a very convenient and gorgeous setting to rejuvenate and celebrate! This is going to be an unforgettable time of celebration and remembrance of our own essential nature. 
The last verse of the yoga sutras describes our inner journey as culminating in Kaivalya, freedom or independence, from all that holds us back from our true essence. Enjoy Fireworks in celebration of you from the privacy of the front lawn, porch, dock.
