Connect with Nature in Whitefish, Montana
A yoga retreat with ANDOVER HOME YOGA
October 2 - 8, 2024
Enjoy the beauty of the big sky, the mountains, fresh air and fresh food at Dancing Spirit Ranch in Whitefish, Montana, where we will practice yoga and meditation, eat farm to table meals and connect with nature every day. This will be both a relaxing and rejuvenating retreat that promises to wake up your senses and reset your nervous system.
HOME Yoga was founded to create a safe space for people of all ages and levels to begin or continue a yoga practice. At HOME, we hope to help people quiet the mind, strengthen the body, and discover the power within oneself through a dedicated and consistent yoga practice. We believe our yoga practice offers the opportunity to check-in rather than check-out, to pay better attention, re-learn to focus and concentrate and as a result make better choices and lead a balanced, centered life.
MEET YOUR HOST:
KRISTIN OLSON, E-RYT 500, MS
Kristin’s teaching has been strongly influenced by internationally esteemed yoga teacher Natasha Rizopoulos, with whom she earned both her 200-hour and 500-hour Yoga Alliance-compliant teacher certificate. She has been teaching since 2007 and practicing since 1994. She is extremely grateful for her yoga practice and all the teachers who have guided her throughout her yoga journey. Her teaching is noted for her ability to articulate precise alignment, which she hopes allows those taking her class to more firmly ground themselves in the present moment.
Kristin leads workshops and teacher trainings for beginner students as well as advanced practitioners. Outside of her practice, Kristin can be found at any given event for one of her three children or napping with her two cats.
