Just what I needed....

* I didn't have my camera, so the photos are from Jennifer and Sharon *

The past few weeks have been stressful. It seems like new assignments and obligations keep piling up. My stress tolerance seemed to be chipping away, and going to Asheville, NC last weekend was just what I needed! Sharon hosted a Barefoot Works Women's Yoga Retreat at the Prama Institute about 20 minutes from Asheville.


I met my mom at the Sweet Biscuit Inn in Asheville, spent the night, and spent some time shopping and eating in Asheville (Laughing Seed Cafe!!!).

On Friday evening we went to the Prama Institute to start the retreat. 16 ladies, yoga, hiking, vegetarian food, tea, knitting - couldn't have been more perfect (except for the addition of Adam and the dogs). It was truly what I needed to get back to my breath, back to my yoga practice, and to build up resistance to any future stress or difficulties that might come my way. I was able to spend good bonding time with my mom, take time for myself, and meet some inspiring women!
