Nov 8-11, 2012

Sleepaway camp is fun when you’re a kid because—hello!—no parents. If only you could go back as an adult to appreciate the trees, the friends, and the abundant crafting opportunities.

You can! The Yoga + Yarn Retreat in at Good Commons in Vermont from November 8-11, 2012. All levels of yogis and knitters are welcome for the serene long weekend.

You’ll travel by bus to the picturesque Good Commons retreat, where you’ll relax to the max while practicing with yoga instructor and yoga therapist Liza Laird and expert knitter (slash Liza’s mom) Nancy Laird. Learn the basics of both disciplines, create personal projects to donate to Warm Up America, take trips into the local community, and share meals.

As if feeling uber-relaxed wasn’t enough, all transportation, meals, and supplies are included. (Sneaking out of your cabin to makeout with a boy by the lake is optional.)

More details coming soon!
