Green Tara Yoga Retreat would like to support you in your highest growth and healing by offering a Spa Day for the Spirit. With this transformational experience, reconnect with your breath, embrace mindfulness, and nourish your soul. Each Spiritual Spa Day includes an aura cleansing, 90min aerial yoga session, floating meditation, and a 90min deep tissue massage. We conclude your pampering with a detoxifying herbal tea, and optional tarot card reading.

Meditation Retreat

  Green Tara Yoga Retreat invites you to escape into solitude for three days of breath, focus, and centering. This all-inclusive retreat is meant for solo travelers or for a solo traveler and a friend or partner. Each retreat will be specifically designed to meet your personal practice and fitness level. All are welcome.


 Check in is at 3pm and after relaxing with a welcome tea, we will head into the studio at 4pm. This afternoon we will explore aerial yin for 90min, finishing with a gentle transition into a floating meditation. After dinner, time is set aside this evening for journaling and contemplation. 

 

   The next morning we will start our day at 7am with an aerial or SUP variation of sun salutation (90min), beginning first with a short introduction to pranayama and a brief meditation. Pranayama is the regulation of breath and we will learn about and practice Nadi Shodhana. Traditionally, we first do asana, then pranayama and finally meditation. However, I find that by taking the time to focus on the breath and center, our physical practice is enhanced. Awareness of breath and then synchronizing breath and movement is what makes yoga, yoga. Once we have completed the asanas, we can smoothly transition into pranayama and a deeper meditation. This is a wonderful opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the practice and it is my sincerest hope that by the time a guest leaves the retreat, they are completely comfortable integrating pranayama and meditation into their daily practice. After a light breakfast and a short break, you will find yourself being pampered with a 60min deep tissue massage. The early afternoon is yours for a leisurely lunch, contemplation, journaling or meditation.  


 At 3pm we will meet back in the studio for 90min of aerial yoga, beginning the session with Kapal Bhati pranayama. Afterward, relax into a 30min guided floating meditation. After dinner, the evening is yours for contemplation and journaling. 

 

  The next morning we meet again at 7am for our final yoga session (90min, SUP or aerial) beginning with pranayama and finishing with an energy healing session. After breakfast (if you choose), my final offering to you is a tarot card reading, to help guide you on your path. Check out is at 11am.

Spa Day for the Spirit

image83

 Our day begins at 8am in our outdoor shala, with an aura cleansing using Tibetan singing bowls and white sage. Moving on to 90min of aerial yoga, choose from restorative yin, beginners' aerial or an advanced high flying session. Afterward, we will gently transition into a guided floating meditation. In this beautiful space, with the body relaxed and the mind at peace, we will pause to hydrate and freshen up before moving on to our healing session, a 90min deep tissue massage that incorporates sound and energy healing. We will then conclude our pampering with a detoxifying tea and light snack, followed by an optional tarot card reading.

As each spa day is highly personalized, and experiences like energy healing and tarot card readings take as long as they take, please be prepared to spend anywhere from four to five hours indulging.

Offerings

Aerial Yoga

Yin & Aerial Yin

Yin & Aerial Yin

Aerial yoga is for all ages and all abilities. It allows you to explore, refine and advance traditional asana both in the air and on the ground. Using a soft, fabric aerial hammock suspended from the ceiling, you’ll explore new and traditional yoga  postures with your body weight partially or fully supported. This allows you to expand flexibility, increase range of motion, build strength, lengthen the spine, and relax the nervous system. Never more than a few feet off the ground, you’ll let go into gravity and be held in the hammock. This is a time to be playful and challenge yourself!

Our Yin yoga is a restorative practice where each pose will be held for three to five minutes. During Aerial Yin, the yoga swing will be suspended close to the ground to support you as you move slowly through the postures. This is a time to realign the body, center the mind and re-connect with your breath. 

SUP Yoga

Yin & Aerial Yin

Floating Meditation

image86

Moving at half the speed as you would on land, standing on a paddleboard gives a unique perspective of the horizon as we gently progress through the asanas. SUP yoga is a practice of integrity- your core must be engaged and your focus true as your breath leads you through the movement.

About

image88

Misty exhibited an interest in Tarot Cards as a young girl and thankfully, was encouraged by her mother, who is gifted as well. In 1998 she began a formal esoteric education in earnest, spending three years studying Tarot Cards, Reiki, Numerology and Astrology under Marian Esther, founder of the Arizona Psychic Alliance. It was also around this time that she completed 500hrs of training in massage therapy where she rounded out her education in reflexology, nutrition and began a life long passion for anatomy & physiology. The next eighteen years would take Misty around the world, where she would study Thai Massage in Thailand, Jin Shin Jyutsu (a form of energy healing) in Japan, Yoga in India and dance and meditation in Indonesia. Founded in the Pacific Northwest, Green Tara Yoga Retreat has now transitioned to the tropical island of Guam, where Misty looks forward to continuing her journey helping people better understand their bodies and love the skin they're in.

A very special thank you to Meagan Linley for the  photos taken in Goa, India.

Reviews

Everything was perfect, from the duration, the schedule, the cost, and the inspiration. The balance between yoga, meditations, discussions, and contemplation helped me so much. It was so special to be the only one in your studio and to get private instruction. I loved the SUP yoga and the chance to journal the most,  especially using that time to incorporate your advice and wisdom.  The tarot reading was truly an added bonus!

The meals were fresh and nourishing,  the massage was wonderful but I think I would have done the aerial yoga first and massage later, knowing what I know now!  I really got everything I wanted from the experience and I'm still integrating the changes and decisions that I made during the retreat.

Everything I wanted and more. Great host, instructor, confidant, scheduling master, chef, masseuse and overall amazing spirit to be found in Misty Dawn. She took care of everything and offered a perfect space to be guided through my 'novice-ness' of yoga and allow for times of self reflection with no pressure of schedule. Which is not to say there wasn't one... we got so much done in such a short time. I was exposed to a variety of meditation styles and well as yoga forms. Accommodations were wonderful.... the bed was awesome! Food was simple, healthy and delicious. Pretty simple to find and the dismount was also easy. I didn't have a lot of expectation around what a solo yoga retreat was to be but everything was perfect in all of it's idiosyncratic ways! Thank you Misty!

Brian 



Misty went out of her way to make sure the food, accommodations, and practice were tailored specifically to the needs of their guests. Meals were simple yet nutritious, the accommodations were well appointed with thoughtful details, and the yoga studio was private and charming. Misty’s schedule for her guests was well balanced between learning and relaxation, all lending itself to a true feeling of “three days of solitude.”

Tonya 



The retreat has had such a positive impact on my life, thank you so much for opening your home and your heart to me. 

Ruth


My husband and I felt comfortable and welcomed immediately upon arriving which continued through the entire retreat. Misty was very understanding with our schedule and patient with us as we are new to yoga. She was happy to modify movements to meet us where we were at. Meals and accommodation were excellent. Cat and Kitten were fun to watch as we love cats :). The retreat exceeded our expectations. We were looking for something different than our typical trips, hoping to come home feeling more relaxed. And turns out this was the perfect getaway for us! We learned some great yoga poses and massage techniques that we can easily incorporate at home. Thank you, Misty - you have set the bar high for our yoga retreat and overall vacation experiences!!

Joni


Can't thank you enough for squeezing me into your schedule. Loved every moment and have taken away great things to include in daily life. 

Many thanks,

Sandee


There is no mistaking Misty's joy in sharing yoga. She was helpful in all things and made sure we had a clear understanding of what we were doing.

What should I wear?

For the retreat, please bring loose, comfortable clothing for lounging.

For SUP yoga, wear what will be the most comfortable for you, be it active wear or a swimsuit.
