RACHEL VASSAK & DANIELLE DEPIERO Sept 22-24
Fall Equinox Yoga Retreat
September 22 – September 24
Craving time to reset and recharge? Join us for a weekend away from the chaos of daily life to check in and pause. As you arrive at this magical retreat haven, you will open your car door to the sound of quiet. Feel the energy of the earth, breathe in fresh air and gaze over the beautiful landscape of the Catskill mountains.
Our cozy accommodations are the perfect place to pause with a book or your journal. The food is farm-to-table, specially prepared for us. Surround yourself with like-minded yogis (all levels welcome!) looking to take a little time away from the stresses of everyday life and unplug. Our schedule will include yoga flow classes, restorative yoga with Reiki, meditation, opportunities for journaling and an evening campfire. You will also have plenty of free time to explore the grounds, take a long walk, lose yourself in the labyrinth or join a friend for badminton, horseshoes or a dip in the hot tub.
We can’t wait to welcome you for this special Fall Equinox weekend retreat!

About Danielle DePiero:
Danielle’s joy to share and teach yoga to others is unmeasurable. She first developed a love for yoga in 2013 after practicing with a close cousin, and over the years this love has turned into a life-changing opportunity. It has led to better health, created new and amazing friendships, and broadened her view on life. In 2018, Danielle completed her 200 hour teacher training led by Erica Stanzione at Flow Yoga Studio. She is currently completing her 300 hour advanced teacher training certification through Flow. Danielle primarily teaches Vinyasa flow classes, focusing on the mental aspects that deliver a physical reaction. Teaching for Danielle is great way of helping others cope with this journey called “life” through its ups and downs; the mat is where it all comes together. Danielle is also a certified Reiki Level 2 practitioner.
