Yoga in the Adirondacks (YitA)—a yoga shala located at The Divine Acres, a private sustainable family farm in the Adirondack State Park—will host a spring retreat from March 18 to 20. The retreat theme is Spring Renewal, says YitA’s owner and yoga instructor Rhodella Hughes.

The weekend retreat is designed to “empower the self with the full worm moon and first day of spring with our vernal equinox,” says Hughes, a 500-hour certified yoga teacher. “It’s a weekend immersion to awaken the spirit to the beautiful you.”

YitA’s seasonal retreats consist of daily yoga, meditation, essential oils, journaling, mindful dialogue, hiking or snowshoeing (weather permitting) and a theme. 

“As we flow with the time, our retreats shift, with each one staying aligned to the season,” Hughes says.

The Spring Renewal retreat will take place in YitA’s fully renovated 1905 farmhouse in Bakers Mills. The house has four bedrooms, each with double occupancy, and two full bathrooms. It also has a lobby, a meditation room, a facilitators room, an eat-in country kitchen, and a front porch with additional dining-living space with full glass picture windows and scenic mountain views. Accommodations and farm-to-table meals are included in the cost. YitA also offers its seasonal retreats to participants without accommodations.
