Hatha Yoga Day Retreat – Winter 2025

Vashon Island Hatha Yoga Day Retreat with Fran Gallo

Sunday, February 16, 2025

Experience a day of relaxation and rejuvenation on the emerald island of Vashon. Our Winter day retreat will take place on a private property on Vashon Island at the Hanna Barn Studio, a spacious, light-filled studio.  Once upon a time, the barn was home to playful goats. Today, you can still see the original barn windows allowing for light to spill into this pristine and healing space. The Barn Studio is warmed by radiant wooden floors. It is a safe, welcoming, and healthy place where yoga retreat participants can experience the meditative and joyful aspects of the yoga practice. Hanna Barn Studio is a space intentionally designed to support movement arts and meditative practices. Weather permitting, we can open windows to integrate the interior space with the forested and grassy grounds of the property.

You will enjoy a healthy homemade lunch served at La Biondo Farm & Kitchen (just a short drive from the Hanna Barn to Karen’s farm. We can accommodate your dietary needs. After lunch, we’ll  take an easy-to-moderate forest walk to Judd Creek (the trail begins just off Karen Biondo’s property). Of course, some may choose to relax or read back at the farm.  We will then return to the Hanna Barn Studio for a relaxing afternoon blend of Restorative Yoga with bolsters (provided!) and a deeply relaxing stretch-based Yin Yoga session. Afternoon session includes a healing sound bath.

As we get closer to the retreat date, Fran will put participants in touch with one another for carpooling options. ALL LEVELS HATHA
