Kundalini Yoga Winter Retreat: Set Your Intentions for the New Year
January 4-6, 2019 at Blue Mountain Retreat Center
Knoxville, Maryland (near Harpers Ferry)
Escape the city and give yourself a weekend of Kundalini Yoga with Lighthouse owner, Jiwan Shakti Kaur (Julie Eisenberg). The New Year is a perfect time to reflect on what you’d like to leave behind and how you’d like the next 12 months – and beyond – to manifest. Through Kundalini yoga, meditation and chanting, you’ll have an opportunity to find balance in your life and set your intentions for the new year.
During the weekend, the kriyas will be focused on awakening the chakras, cleansing the mind, and letting go of what you don’t want to carry into 2019. We’ll then take some time to set intentions that we’ll take away with us, planting the seeds for prosperity, happiness, and health in the new year.
Open to all levels. No prior Kundalini Yoga experience is required.

Cost: $450 for shared room/shared bathroom. Single room (shared bathrooms): $525.
What people have said about our Blue Mountain Retreats:
The Location: Blue Mountain Retreat Center
Blue Mountain is convenient to both Washington, DC and Baltimore, MD – about 75 minutes driving time – yet after you arrive and settle in, you feel like you have been transported to the midst of a forest. The secret is the 27 acres of mostly wooded land, just a mile downhill to the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers and the C & O Canal. The surrounding woods and water make for a peaceful getaway.
If the weather cooperates, you can take a hike on the nearby Appalachian Trail or go next door for a horseback ride. Inclement days? Cozy up to one of the fireplaces, or connect with Blue Mountain owner Beth Ehrhardt, a licensed massage therapist, for some relaxing bodywork.
The retreat center shares 27 acres of property with Ehrhardt Organic Farm, which has been selling high quality, organic berries, vegetables, herbs and flowers to restaurants, at farmer’s markets and thru their CSA since 1981. Beth prepares delicious, organic home-cooked meals, sourced from her farm as much as possible, to retreat participants. Vegan and gluten-free options are available.
Massage appointments are available on-site. Massage cost is $80/hour.
