About this trip
I get it! It sometimes seems impossible to get away. You carry a lot. People depend on you. You’re responsible for keeping the ship going. You just don’t have the time. Even your daily self care just feels like another chore.
But you can’t continue to pour from an empty cup! I hear you. That’s why I’ve designed an amazing local retreat right here in our backyard! This one-day, local retreat offers a sanctuary for you to take a step back, drop the load you’ve been carrying, and immerse yourself in a full day of healing without having to travel and run away to paradise for a week. (We can do that later this year 😉).
This time, we don’t have to leave Anne Arundel county to do that. Treat yourself or a loved one to the ultimate gift: time to rest, restore, and recharge. Together we will share space and nourish our mind, bodies + souls. Spend this spring Saturday exploring the grounds of this 17-acre farm, moving your body, grounding yourself, and connecting with others. Silhouette Studio, a private yoga instruction studio located on a beautiful, secluded 17-acre estate in Gambrills, MD. Surrounded in all directions by undisturbed natural woods, the studio also features a private zen garden with seating around a bonfire table and an outdoor practice space overlooking a nature preserve. Set among the trees, the sounds of nearby waterfalls and gentle breezes provide a uniquely serene experience. Mysilhouettestudio.com

Yin Yoga invites students to find stillness in our fast-paced world. Whether you are getting started or building on foundational knowledge, this 20-hour Yin Yoga Teacher Training certification program provides a fulfilling immersion into this practice, its history, philosophy, and much more.
Trauma Sensitive Yoga
This continued education weekend is a comprehensive trauma-sensitive yoga program designed to provide the instruction and tools you need to understand trauma at a deeper level helping to guide your clients (or students) toward greater healing. Over the course of 2 days, practitioners and teachers will investigate: what is trauma, how trauma impacts the brain and the nervous system, and how yoga and other somatic movement can release old traumas. Through lecture, self-inquiry, group discussion, group activities, practice teaching, trauma-informed yoga, breathing, and relaxation exercises participants will develop the knowledge, practical application skills, and understanding necessary to offer trauma-informed yoga classes to a variety of populations of trauma survivors in a safe and effective manner. After completion of this training you will receive a trauma sensitive yoga teacher certification through Yoga Alliance Continued Education.
