Align with the Clear Light of your Heart

Feb 8, 2025 – Feb 15, 2025

“There is a light that shines beyond all things on earth, beyond us all, beyond the heavens, beyond the highest, the very highest heavens. This is the Light that shines in our Heart.”  Chandogya Upanishad

Join Amy, owner of Align Yoga Studio in CDA, ID for a 8 day 7 night journey to the Light of your Heart. This Light is promised to be ever present, never absent, always supporting us and independent in its existence. It is full of joy, perfection, beauty and pure consciousness. The Work is to remember this Light and return to it again and again. Practices such as yoga asana, meditation, pranayama and sound healing are all reliable ways to return to this pure essence inside of you. Life is busy and often messy!  Join us at the beautiful Harumara to  rest, restore, practice and connect with Nature and other beautiful beings!

During your stay, you will enjoy 2 daily yoga practices. The a.m. practice will be a 90 minute yoga practice followed by Savasana and reflection time. The p.m. practice will be more Yin and restorative in nature with sound healing, guided meditation, journaling and circle time.

Enjoy your free time in the afternoons by the beautiful infinity pool, private beaches, or treating yourself at the spa with one of the many extremely talented practioners. Additional activities like whale watching, Tezmacal ceremony, walk to Sayulita, short taxi to San Pancho (great food, beach and shopping), hiking and more are also available.

Amy brings her 22 years of teaching experience and the yoga practices will blend Anusara, Flow, Yin, Restorative and is also sound bowl healing. Anusara  means “flowing with Grace” and is a methodology of yoga steeped in Tantric Philosophy which believes in the intrinsic goodness of all beings. This strong practice focuses on alignment, intelligent breath based transitions, and uses heart inspired themes to weave imagination and wonder into your practice. The theme of the retreat is “Align with with Clear Light of Your Heart.” Our practices will take us on a journey through the Chakras and their correlated elements with the aim to peel away the layers and or fog that may be covering the Light of your Heart so that we may Align and SHINE!

About the Instructor:

I attended my first yoga class more than 30 years ago and fell in love from the start. I was immediately hooked by the way yoga calmed and quieted my mind, freed me physically, ignited a spark deep in my soul, and made me feel connected to something far bigger than me. I had never before experienced something that was equal part calming and enlivening. The connection of mind, body, and divinity was almost intoxicating, and I knew that yoga would forever be a major part of my life.

I started teaching yoga in 2002. Having completed several training intensives, I gravitated to Vinyasa Flow and was introduced to the teachings of Shiva Rea through a Seattle studio. Over the next several years, I dedicated as much time as possible to various teacher training courses and obtaining certification hours. Since that time, my yoga study has turned to Anusara Yoga. I completed my 200-hour Anusara teacher training at Garden Street Yoga in 2020 and my 500 hour in Spring of 2023. I am a registered Anusara Inspired Yoga Teacher. Anusara Yoga has made a forever home in my heart, and I feel incredibly fortunate to teach the practice I wholeheartedly love.

I feel deeply passionate about overall health and well-being and humbly aspire to share this passion through teaching and connecting with the community. My practice is a profoundly spiritual experience for me and a space I turn to again and again to connect with my heart and open to Grace.

Align Yoga Studio opened its doors to the public in November 2019 and is located in a beautiful studio space in downtown Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
