 What does Riverbirch Yoga offer?
Riverbirch Yoga on Lake Wylie offers explorations in Wholistic Living through Personal Yoga, Creativity, and Spirituality.
Yoga Classes
**FIRST CLASS FREE**
Yoga classes provide space and guidance for you to move your body, deepen your breathing, release tensions, still your mental busyness. Ushered by a varied menu of physical and mental techniques, imagery, and personalized adaptations, you dive into a profound experience of what you feel, how you move and breathe, and focused awareness of each moment.
The class never follows the same routine or flow and each session uniquely honors the needs of all participants. A session may feel like a nurturing deep massage or like a spirited work out. You may find increased energy as well as a pleasant sense of relaxation. If you come to gain physical exercise, to lower your blood pressure, to tone and strengthen your physique, or to develop improved flexibility, you may be delighted by some unexpected side-effects: enhanced mental clarity, stimulation of creative energies, freeing up of fears. Just one warning … Riverbirch Yoga can be addicting to the body, to the mind, to the heart!

Day Retreats
Riverbirch Yoga offers a few day retreats each year. Scheduled for a full Saturday, generally 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., retreats offer busy folks a way to retreat without leaving town and to those who seek to deepen their Yoga practice, a full day of personal time. The day slides gently from time on the mat into silent meals and walks, from quiet personal exploration activities into relaxing and inspiring small group creative adventures. Expect a nap sometime during the day as you develop your practice of Yoga Nidra. Expect nourishingly delicious fresh and whole vegetarian meals and snacks. Expect nurturing words and images. Expect to return home renewed and with some tools for sustained mindfulness and day-to-day self-caring.
Personalized Day Retreats for YOU alone!
In addition to scheduled group day retreats, you can also schedule time at Riverbirch for your own personal day retreat. Take time in nature and away from your life’s demands to clear your head, renew your spirit, enter silence, breathe, nourish your body, regain your natural rhythms. The Riverbirch Treehouse Studio and acre on the lake can be available to you to read, lounge, write, vision, artistically create, spend time on the Yoga mat or in meditation, be silent and still or move and shout! Specialized whole foods can be prepared for you as ordered from our nourishingly delicious menu. The Lending Library, Yoga props, stereo, and wooded setting of The Treehouse can be your cocoon and refuge. We will offer you a nurturing and magical setting to do the work you need to do to renew and refresh.
