Yoga and Adventure Retreat with CARRIE INGHAM

Carrie has taught yoga and practiced bodywork for ten years and did her very first trainings with us back in 2012. Her insightful classes use accessible skeletal alignment, calming mental direction, sequencing that encourages curiosity and expansion, nervous system tools, and awareness of the subtle. These elements make increased clarity, strength, and flexibility inevitable side effects of a satisfying practice. Her deep reverence in holding everything as sacred with a skillfully playful hand is the essence of her teaching style. Her inner life is vibrant and her system is set to subtlety which enables observation, design, and creation of opportunities and curriculum. Carrie’s training, experience and insight have benefitted thirteen studios, thousands of classes, hundreds of private students, retreats, and events, as well as various YTT programs and teachers seeking her niche experience in the last decade.

Prior to teaching, she left design work on the US east coast where her health deteriorated from overwork and disconnection. In cultivating her practice as treatment and relishing the release of savasana, she experienced a profound peace which put her back in touch with Life. Her intention in sharing the practice is to lay out a way into that feeling for anyone with the desire to reach it. Her offerings span a range of states of consciousness to expand your capacity, light you up, and aid finding what best balances your unique system.

With an extensive background in acrobatics and leadership of Thai Yoga Massage workshops and trainings, she has a strong understanding of the mechanics and energetics of movement. She has cultivated a balance of incorporating control and surrender, movement and stillness, curiosity and experience, into the embodiment and techniques she offers. The areas of focus she brings to Anamaya for your renewal include vinyasa flow, restorative Nidra, CRC Meditation, Thai Yoga Massage, and Acro Yoga.

CRC is a style of meditation Carrie pioneered from the experience of her own deep practice. She invites you to feel the truth of your being, waiting just beyond the movement of the bodymind. Bliss is not reserved only for those who may avoid the challenges of the active world, but the birthright of every human and the layers of your natural system hold the keys, waiting for your attention. We’ll attend the body in friendship and reverence, arrange the mind with intention, open to your guidance and genius, but keep going to knowing!

In this retreat, you’ll experience the joy and expansion of your range as you playfully embody movement, venture deep within stillness, and extend in connection to others if you choose. Enjoy a combination of invigoration and release each morning, exploration and freedom each day, deep relaxation with new experiences each evening, and stretching from fun to ease! No experience or partner required, simply come open to what you will find. Carrie’s enthusiastic and caring spirit will help you look forward to the time you spend investing and immersing in yourself. Leave renewed, with experience that will continue to serve you in your life beyond the mat.

Your system is seeking homeostasis, connection, ease and joy. This is your sign and invitation to reset and reconnect!
