Frequently Asked Questions
Yoga & Nature Retreat Days
Do I need yoga experience to join a retreat?
Not at all! My retreats are open to all. Yoga class will be accessible to everyone and offer options.
I am a beginner, do I need to know anything specific?
If you are new to yoga, you are more than welcome. Let me know in advance and I'll provide some tips on what to expect, but you will fit right in.
What is it like to practice yoga in nature?
It's beautiful. Our yoga mats lay in the grass, and throughout class you'll hear birdsong, feel the sunshine and breathe the freshest air. Yoga is in a secluded, quiet tree grove, just our group and maybe some bunnies or deer.
What amenities are available at the yoga retreat location?
Wide lawns, a tree grove for yoga, outdoor seating, covered picnic shelter in case of rain, nature trails and free parking. Restrooms are also available.
Is lunch included?
Yes! A nourishing, plant-based and naturally gluten-free meal from one of my favorite local restaurants. Dessert and snacks included.
What should I bring?
A yoga mat, water, walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothes. More details will be sent in your confirmation emails.

Nope, your retreat price is all-inclusive of the activities, lunch, parking and administrative fees.
What are the plans if it rains?
We will have cover of a picnic shelter and my intention is to hold retreat rain or shine. However, a back-up date will be provided and if we need to reschedule I will confirm by two days prior.
What is the cancellation policy?
Your booking is non-refundable, but can be transferred to a friend with Allison's permission if you are no longer able to join.
Why should I join a yoga retreat?
Come home to yourself, connect with nature, connect with others, learn a new yoga pose, or simply breathe in the arrival of spring.
