Valle Crucis Retreats
As a teenager and young adult, Ashley Ludman frequently retreated to the beauty
of Valle Crucis, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. She once again shares
this special place with her students and friends during Seaside Yoga's Mountain
Retreats. Join Ashley, Seaside Yoga, and a special blend of talented instructors,
musicians and friends as we return each year to Valle Crucis for two very special
mountain yoga retreats.
The Yoga of Transformation
Wednesday to Sunday, August 11-15, 2010
This is by far our most popular retreat! The Music, the Yoga and the Transformation
magically come together to create a powerful experience. Ashley, Noelle, and Dhamaru
are a brilliant teaching team, and working for years together, they have tapped
into a rhythm of playing off of each other's energy, intuition and the vibe of the
group. The sessions artistically weave expression and action with music as a catalyst
towards your transformation.
