200-hr Yoga Teacher Training
April 30-May 21
Become a certified yoga instructor while deepening your own practice with our unique immersion-style training. You’ll learn anatomy and biomechanics of postures, teaching methodology, and creative class sequencing during your in-depth study of 50 fundamental asanas. Meditation, ethics, philosophy, and pranayama are topics explored throughout the training. Through meditation and immersion in a community of dedicated yoga practitioners, you’ll learn to reach deeper inside and teach from a place of clarity and depth.
Malas and Mantra workshop

A mala is a string of prayer beads commonly used in the practice of japa, or mantra repetition. In this workshop, you’ll learn about mantra and how to work with it, as well as make your own mala to practice with and take home with you.
Meditation Immersion
May 26-29
A four-day immersion experience. Learn the foundations of meditation and find new depth in your own practice with the support of a fun, contemplative community. Our goal is to share the profound and practical teachings of our tradition in a way that is meaningful for your life.
Shoshoni Yoga Retreat believes that everyone should have safe and equitable access to yoga and meditation. In drawing upon the resources of our inner spiritual work, we move forward as activists in the call for racial and social justice – we will listen, educate ourselves, engage, and continue to grow in ways that support Black, Indigenous, and other marginalized communities.
These absolutely charming linocut prints arrived in the mail from @ingprintmaker, Printmaker Ingrid Nilsson. What I love about buying and selling on Esty is getting to know the artist first hand. Many artists include a small gift, I do. Ingrid visited my shop and realized Ganesha would be the perfect small gift for me. Thank you 💕 Ingrid’s shop is linked in her bio. Mine is linked in mine. #woodcut #linocut #etsyshop #etsyseller #etsybuyer #womensupportingwomen #artistssupportingartists #happyhappy

I rescued this beautiful woodblock of Akshobya (one of the 5 dharani Buddhas) from a yard sale. The seller had turned him into a coat rack with hooks screwed into the woodblock. I removed the hooks and cleaned him up. The carving is super fine and of the highest degree of difficulty. If you ever see an unappreciated Buddha woodblock, please contact me. My mission is to preserve and revive Buddha woodblocks. I just printed him on Japanese Kozo. He’s so beautiful, 19 in wide by 5.25 tall #buddhawoodblocks #woodcut #thangkaart #akshobya #womenprintmakers

Shoshoni is an incredibly unique and beautiful place to learn yoga and meditation. The classes, trainings, accommodations, and food are all top notch and made with love for everyone to share. You can feel the sweetness all around you at Shoshoni. I highly recommend this nourishing place to anyone seeking retreat, renewal, or real opportunities for spiritual growth.
