SUMMARY:8-Day Pike Camp
DESCRIPTION:  \nLIFT YOUR BUTT TO NEW HEIGHTS \nStrengthen your arm balance and piking practice in this 8-Day Pike Camp at Buckhorn Springs in Ashland\, Oregon\, taught by Heidi Sormaz and Catherine Allen. Since we spend the majority of our time standing on our feet or sitting on our butts\, arm balancing and piking are difficult feats for a lot of us. Heidi and Cat will take you through effective yoga practices and techniques and meditations that prepare you for piking. You will receive personal guidance and skillful partner spotting to help you establish the focus and connections for piking. Each day will intentionally build upon the skills you learned in the previous day. This continuous learning will bring your practice (and your butt) to new heights. You will leave this retreat knowing how to lift your ass if nothing else! \nWhy Pike? \nBottomline is – It’s fun! Piking is difficult and strange\, but that makes it all the more fun when you rise above the difficulty of it and ask yourself What Part of This Can I Do? It raises endorphins. It gives you opportunities to find out what works\, celebrate your wins\, and expand your limited beliefs. Piking isn’t the only way to reap these benefits in your life\, but the journey to piking is a way! And it’s definitely an exciting way. \nWhy a Retreat? \nYou may wonder…why a retreat and not a traditional series of workshops at a yoga studio? The retreat setting is absolutely key to helping you pike. Here are the main reasons for having this training at a retreat: \n\nRelaxation: You will learn how relaxation is essential for piking. Excess tension in your muscles and connective tissue and restricted breathing weigh you down and make it harder to use your core muscles to lift your butt in piking.\nNutrition: You will be fed nutrient-dense food. The quality of your nutrition greatly influences your stress and strength levels. The home-cooked professionally prepared meals will reduce your stress and boost your strength.\nCommunity Energy: The bright web of energy that will be created by the people around you will help boost and brighten your own energy. Pleasure and positivity are the energies that literally lighten you and help lift your ass.\nFocus: For 8 glorious days\, you get a chance to put down old habits and energies that drag you down. You have the opportunity to focus on and commit to yourself and your piking practice without the usual life distractions. You will return to your normal life feeling recharged with a wider perspective.\n\nWho is this retreat for? \nThis retreat is for ANYONE who wants to learn how to pike or arm balance. You don’t need to have an arm balance practice\, and you definitely don’t need to have a piking practice. We suggest that you know how to do Dolphin with hands clasped in order to participate in the piking exercises. (Dolphin is like Downward Facing Dog\, except the forearms are on the floor.) \nWhat is a typical day like in this retreat? \nA tentative schedule will be published. But here is a summary of what a typical day would be like: \n\nWake up to a light and nutritious breakfast. Vegan plus eggs offered.\nLed Morning Meditation Session. Meditation practice is essential for piking. It builds focus and helps you ally with your mind and the rest of your body.\nYoga Workshop\, taught by Heidi and Cat\, that will focus on building resilience and connections for specific aspects of piking.\nYummy vegan buffet lunch\, laughter with friends\, and get some fresh air around Buckhorn Springs. Hike and keep an eye out for deer!\nAfternoon Lecture and Q&A on topics specifically related to piking or Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra. Yin Yoga is excellent for helping you to release excess tension that inhibits piking.\nFloat off to a delicious home-cooked dinner freshly prepared and served on-site. Vegan and meat/fish options at every dinner.\nStar-gaze before bedtime.\n\nCheck-in starts 14:00 on May 25. The yoga workshop will start at 16:00pm on May 25.\nRetreat will end at 11:00 in the morning on June 1 with breakfast and lunch served that day. \nBuckhorn Springs is ENCHANTING! \nA historic setting for contemplation and restorative experiences. \nA 124-acre inholding of the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument in the Ashland Mountains in Ashland OR. An enchanting place where one feels connected to the land beginning with Indigenous People who gathered on this ground for peace and healing centuries ago. \nBuckhorn Springs provides a unique environment nestled in its own small valley with a creek\, old oaks\, ponderosa pines\, tall aromatic cedars\, and open meadows. \nThe historic Buckhorn Springs Resort in Ashland\, Oregon\, is located within the ancestral homelands of the Shasta\, Modoc (Klamath)\, Takelma\, and Cow Creek Umpqua peoples who lived here since time immemorial. \nThe land upon which Buckhorn Springs resides includes mineral springs which the indigenous tribes referred to as “Hi-U- Skookem” medicine. Tribes from all over the region referred to as “The Land of Many Lakes” would bring their sick to these mineral springs for healing. \nWe honor and acknowledge the legacy of those who stewarded this land for many generations before being displaced by colonization\, treaties\, and other violent acts. \nToday\, the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians are living descendants of the Shasta\, Takelma\, and Cow Creek Umpqua peoples of this area. The Klamath Tribes are the living descendants of the Modoc Nation in Southern Oregon. \nTo learn more about the native lands that you reside on\, visit https://native-land.ca/. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Welcome!\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Stunning view of Ashland mountains\n				\n			\n				\n			\n				\n				Hiking Trail at Buckhorn Springs.
