Clayton believes, “Yoga in a retreat setting is the ultimate way to deepen and enjoy your practice. Away from home and in a supportive environment, we are able to connect with a deep and beautiful part of ourselves. Healing and focused development of our practice happens naturally when we devote a week or two to ourselves in a retreat setting in a beautiful place with an experienced teacher.”
Clayton welcomes beginners and students with special needs. Beginners should be familiar with the traditional Ashtanga Sun Salutations A & B and the standing posture sequence.
