Hygge is a Danish or Scandinavian concept for comfort, or the creation of a warm and inviting atmosphere. Hygge is especially embraced during the long Winter months by stoking the fireplace, lighting candles, embracing cozy fabrics, hiking through the snow-covered woods, savoring delicious baked goods and wine, and snuggling with friends and family - essentially the good things in life. This yoga retreat will focus on just that - some of the good things in life: yoga, massage, a snowy hike in the woods (optional) snuggly hot chocolate and a warm fireplace. Your retreat opens Friday, January 26th at 2pm and includes two nights lodging at the ARC (http://arcretreat.org), all meals (homecooked, soo nourishing for body and spirit), 3 yoga sessions (a variety of styles will be offered), a 60-minute energy medicine massage and a hygge goodies to make your retreat extra cozy!
