2025 Summer Weekend Retreat:
The 5-Layers of Self~A Journey Through the Koshas
August 29 - 31, 2025
Toddhall Retreat Center, Columbia, IL
Join Annie Geile and Jami Marsoun as they lead you on this weekend journey through the "Five Layer of Self"!
In the yogic tradition, we understand that the self is more than just the physical body. It is a tapestry woven with layers of energy, wisdom, and bliss - what we call the five koshas. This unique retreat offers an exploration of each of these layers, providing you with practical tools and experiences to cultivate deep self-care on every level!
Over this nourishing weekend, you will:
Ground into the Physical (Annamaya Kosha): Through gentle restorative yoga, nourishing meals, and the soothing practice of self-trigger point massage.
Awaken Your Vital Energy (Pranamaya Kosha): With invigorating breathwork, mindful movement, and techniques to release energetic blockages.
Calm Your Mind & Emotions (Manomaya Kosha): Through guided meditation, creative expression with watercolor painting, and practices to cultivate emotional balance.
Access Your Inner Wisdom (Vijnanamaya Kosha): Through contemplative practices, mantra, and discussions that connect you to your intuition.
Tap into Your Innate Joy (Anandamaya Kosha): By cultivating presence, gratitude, and a deep sense of connection to your true self.
This retreat is an invitation to:
Deepen your understanding of the yogic model of the self.
Experience targeted self-care practices for each of the five koshas.
Leave feeling balanced, integrated, and deeply connected to your inner landscape.
For yoga teachers, gain invaluable insights into applying the kosha model to your teaching and personal practice.
