Hatha Yoga Day Retreat – Vashon Autumn 2026
Vashon Island Hatha Yoga Day Retreat with Fran Gallo
Sunday, October 11, 2026
Registration now open!
Experience a day of relaxation and rejuvenation on the emerald island of Vashon. Our Autumn 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 Karen Biondo’s Farm & Kitchen, a short drive from the Hanna Barn. We accommodate your dietary needs. After lunch, we’ll go on a walk along Judd Creek (we walk to the trail from Karen Biondo’s Farm) and then back to the Hanna Barn for a deeply relaxing afternoon of Yin & Restorative Yoga (Bolsters provided) . The afternoon practice is magically accompanied by Andrea Cariño’s flute, various soothing instrumental sound offerings, and a Sound Bath.
A wonderful yoga day awaits us!
As we get closer to the retreat date, Fran will put participants in touch with one another for carpooling options. ALL LEVELS HATHA
