About Yoga-45
Since transitioning from the 148 West Main location in March of 2022, plus co-owner, Erin moving in August of 2023 we have been reminded of vairagya-detachment. Vairagya, in Sanskrit, is the practice of letting go of attachments and desires, not in a way that leads to indifference, but to develop inner calm and contentment, regardless of external circumstances. Our anchor in this detachment has been the reminder that home can be anywhere and everywhere. Home is at this very moment.
AWAKE-Rest & Resilience Wellness Retreat
We hope you will make it a thought and consider attending our Spring wellness retreat May 2-4, 2025, held at Otsego Resort. This is the third retreat Amy, Erin, and Mary B. have hosted together. We are a month away from the deadline to register. The retreat values are rooted in mission, sangha, tragic optimism, and wellness.
Mission: build connection, foster community and encourage growth with likeminded people.
Sangha: Striving to offer a weekend filled with sangha. Sangha, meaning a community of individuals offering authentic and practical support that aligns with the theme of the retreat.​
Tragic optimism: (opposite of toxic positivity) word smithed by existential-humanistic psychologist Viktor Frankl, suggesting even in suffering and tragedy, we can find meaning and purpose.
​
Wellness: Erin and Amy will be leading asana yoga classes. Mary B will be conducting sacred circles, with an art component. Other extras of the retreat are sound healing, nature, walks, sauna, and astrological reading.
