McKenzie River Retreat
May 23 @ 5:00 pm – May 26 @ 11:00 am
Yoga retreats can allow you to deepen your existing yoga practice or start yoga for the very first time. The McKenzie River Retreat is held at St. Benedict’s Retreat Center, located 50 miles from Eugene, and nestled between the beautiful McKenzie River and the edge of the Willamette National Forest. The Lodge property consists of 70 acres of wooded grounds. This property allows you to completely retreat, while knowing that only five minutes away there is a charming general store and cafe. If you are interested in taking an excursion during your retreat, you will find hot springs within a short driving distance and world renowned hiking trails. Andrea Stafl, owner of Eugene Yoga and advanced Iyengar yoga teacher, and Donna O’Neil, a gentle, Hatha, and core yoga teacher, will bring together their expertise to create a unique and beautiful experience for you. Beginners to advanced practitioners are welcome and our teachers will be offering multiple options for practicing so that you are as challenged or supported as needed. Yoga classes, yoga nidra, meditation and reflection gatherings will take place in front of the open fire in the main room of the lodge. Just outside of the yoga room, sits an expansive deck and lawn area to take in the impressive McKenzie River.
