UPDATE: Registration might be officially closed (I say “might” because I’m waiting on a couple of strong yeses to confirm)! For the first time ever, I may have to turn folks away from coming on a yoga retreat with me. Which is a great and not-so-great problem to have, as I would LOVE to accept everyone that wants to come and spend a quiet weekend deepening their practice with yours truly and others.

But the truth is, a group can get too big and unwieldy in these sorts of settings. So in the interest of preserving a sense of intimacy during the weekend, I may have to close registration this weekend.

A BIG, SLOPPY-KISS THANK YOU to the amazing folks that are coming to OPI with Phyzz in November! Remember, there’s still India, and Mexico next year!

Here’s the deal.

I recently learned about the awesomeness that is Olympic Park Institute. It sits on right on sparkling Lake Crescent in the Olympic National Park. It’s totally gorgeous, and a very special place. So special, in fact, that I’m planning my own wedding there next August!

During the wedding planning process, it occurred to me that it would be a great place for a retreat, and it turns out this is the only weekend that it’s available the rest of the year. So, I’m putting the word out there to see if there is enough interest, so please feel free to pass this email on and help spread the word!

We need at least 5 people to make this thing go, so if you’re seriously considering it, please let me know ASAP.
