Remembering Lilias Folan 🤍

Lilias, who passed away last month, brought yoga into American homes through PBS. Her 500+ episodes of "Yoga with Lilias" aired from 1970 through 1999—long before YouTube. I remember resisting her “boring” show as a kid, yet doing my first Tree Pose with Lilias in the living room with my mom.

In her honor, Tara Lemerise offers History of Modern Postural Yoga workshop, this Sunday, April 12, 1–3 PM ET.

The depth and beauty of traditional Tibetan singing bowls and gong create rich, layered tones that calm the nervous system and invite deep rest. Join guest facilitator Tara Sheehan on Sunday, April 12 from 4:00–5:30pm for a deeply relaxing sound meditation. Simply lie down, get comfortable, and let the sound wash over you. We’d love to have you join us for this peaceful and restorative experience.

Yin Yoga + Restorative Yoga
Joint Care and Conscious Rest Retreat
May 7-10, 2026
with Machelle Lee and Tara Lemerise

There are few things as restorative as stepping away from the rhythm of everyday life — pausing your responsibilities to reconnect with yourself, rediscover your natural ease, and realign with what truly matters most.

Join us for a sleep-away retreat at River Mountain in Everett Pennsylvania (very close to Cumberland MD), where crisp air, sweeping views, and nourishing meals create the perfect backdrop for rest and renewal. Yoga calms the body, laughter comes easily, and meaningful connections naturally unfold.

Each day includes Yin Yoga for joint care and connective tissue, Restorative Yoga for deep nervous system rest, optional morning flow, and plenty of unstructured time to hike, receive massage, sit by the campfire, stargaze, read, socialize, or simply enjoy quiet solitude.

Together, Yin and Restorative Yoga create an experience of deep support, gentle care, and profound rest — for your body, mind, and spirit.

This retreat includes three meals a day, daily morning and afternoon accessible yoga, hiking, campfires and s’mores, stargazing, lots of laughs, meaningful conversations and more.

As a thoughtful touch, the retreat concludes by noon on Mother’s Day, allowing you time to honor the day with family, or consider bringing mom along for a meaningful weekend together.

Only a handful of rooms remain — reserve your spot this week!
