Yoga + Beer heads to Astoria, Oregon for our fifth Refreshing Weekend Retreat. Join Mikki Trowbridge and fellow beer yogis for a two night, three day mini Yoga + Beer Retreat on the Oregon Coast!
The Pint-Sized Summary
This refreshing weekend is meant to be a mini-getaway that doesn't require you to use vacation time but leaves you feeling ready to return to work on Monday after a weekend full of yoga, beer, friends, fun and Oregon Coast adventures. This Yoga + Beer retreat will include four yoga classes with Mikki, all of your meals, lodging at The Commodore Hotel, and stops at two of Oregon’s favorite breweries - Fort George & Buoy. More details below ...
I like specifics, so I'm going to assume that you do too. Here is the general idea of what our days will entail. The exact schedule will be released as we get closer to the retreat.
Yoga Practices
This retreat includes four yoga classes, all led by Y+B Founder, Mikki Trowbridge. Practices are 90 minutes, and are a similar vinyasa/flow style to our regular Yoga + Beer classes - but we use these retreats as an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the yoga practice. We will spend time learning more about the poses, the subtleties within the shapes, breathwork, meditation, and the limbs of yoga. Practices will be inclusive of all levels of yogi, with lots of options given. Practices are typically held at local breweries and a local studio.
Meals & Refreshments
Your belly and your thirst will be well taken care of all weekend, because no one wants a hangry yogi. Rumor has it that this retreat includes the best food of any of our Y+B Retreats (and we always eat well). All of your meals will be included, starting with dinner on Friday night, and continuing through lunch on Sunday. Your first beer is included at each lunch and each dinner - with an option for other adult beverages if you are not a beer-lover.
Lodging
Our retreat group stays at The Commodore Hotel, which is centrally located and within walking distance to all of our weekend’s activities. We have pricing options (see below) for a variety of room types to fit your budget. If you live in Astoria or have a place to stay close by, we have a no lodging option for you that includes the entire weekend, sans lodging.
Local Business Love
Supporting and investing in local businesses is a core part of our Y+B mission, and something we integrate into all of our retreats. We practice at local studios, eat at locally owned restaurants, and imbibe at local breweries. Our partners for our Astoria Retreat typically include Fort George Brewing, Buoy Beer, Bridgewater Bistro, Street 14 Cafe, Carruther’s Restaurant, and Fire Station Yoga.
Retreat Schedule
Our retreat will begin with an evening yoga class at 5pm on Friday, April 26th, and ends after lunch on Sunday, April 28th. Each day will include some free time for you to do your own adventuring and exploring. Since this is just a weekend - we don't want to overwhelm you with activities, but we will provide suggestions for adventuring during your free time. Because all of our planned activities are within walking distance, we will not be providing any transportation for this retreat. So if during your free time you desire to drive to the beach or surrounding sites, you’ll need to have your own means of transportation. Our goal is to make this a fun and easy going weekend - that you don't have to plan. Get yourself to Astoria, and let us take care of the rest!
Here is our 2022 schedule for this retreat, to give you an idea of how our days flow. Our 2024 schedule will be finalized about a month before the retreat, and will be emailed out to all registered yogis.
The Investment
We have five pricing levels available for you and are willing to break this up into as many payments as you need. We are asking for a $350 non-refundable deposit to hold your spot. Only deposits can be made before December 31, 2023. Balances can be paid anytime after January 1, 2024, with full payment due on or before March 1st, 2024. Mikki will work with you to establish a payment plan for your retreat. Life can be stressful, paying for a yoga retreat should not be. We will work with you to make this comfortable. Registration is limited to the first 12 yogis.
All registrations include six meals, four yoga classes, beer at all lunches and dinners, plus the lodging option of your choice as outlined below.
