Winds of Change: Yoga & the Vayus
September 27 - October 3, 2026
Ghost Ranch, Abiquiu, NM

Join Edie Tsong for a magical week of yoga in the spectacular and historic setting of Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu, NM. Our days will be framed by a dynamic morning class and in the evening, a gentle class with music. Spacious afternoons are open to explore the region, relax, or whatever your heart desires. The classes are alignment-based with use of props with support of teachings on the the five vayus (winds): apana, samana, prana, udana, and vyana. These winds govern our prana/life force. Though the retreat is practice-based, we learn one vayu each morning. Sequences build from day to day and classes include meditation, pranayama, and poetry. Participants will leave with tools for grounding and centering and remaining flexible in this rapidly changing world. Participants should have some knowledge of yoga and be in good health.
There are different camping and lodging options and meal plans. The cafeteria always include vegetarian and gluten free options.

DM with any questions!

I HAVE DECIDED by Mary Oliver

I have decided to find myself a home
in the mountains, somewhere high up
where one learns to live peacefully in
the cold and the silence. It's said that
in such a place certain revelations may
be discovered. That what the spirit
reaches for may be eventually felt, if not
exactly understood. Slowly, no doubt. I'm
not talking about a vacation.

Of course at the same time I mean to
stay exactly where I am.

Are you following me?

The PBS documentary on Mary Oliver is playing at the CCA!
You'll also be able to see my installation "Line, Land, Detour" in the Cinema Gallery through August 1.

Over the last year, I learned so much through physical therapy and Iyengar yoga of how to care for my hips. Then surgery and more PT and yoga to recover. I'm super excited to share what I've learned to keep your hips healthy and strong. The hips/pelvis are the gateway to the spine, and the alignment of hips helps with issues in the knees and ankles. I have a history of trouble in all the joints!

In this Healthy Hips: Mobility & Strength, we'll talk a little anatomy and hip health, but mainly we learn by practicing. We'll start with floor-based somatics to open up and organize the fascia, then move into supported stretches and asana for joint and postural health. This all includes a healthy does of stretching and strengthening.

Each week we'll look at a different aspect of the hips and how the rest of the body is involved.

We meet at YogaSource once a month on Sunday afternoons from August through November. Note the different time for the September class. Sign up for the series or individual classes. Classes are in person and online. If you are at home, you'll want wall space, blocks and a belt, bolster and blankets.

YIN, Saturdays online , 11am - 12:15pm
email radiantanimal [at] gmail for link & payment instructions.
I provide students with the zoom recording, good for a week, so even if you can't make it live, you can watch the recording to your heart's content. Email for this week's recording.

Because I've had many injuries from being physically active (including a trampoline snafu!) I always include a little bit of stabilizing for the hips and attention to midline. That way, rather than becoming a jelly fish, we become a jelly fish organized around a midline.

We use props - blocks, belt, blankets, and bolster if you have one.

Winds of Change: Yoga & the Vayus
September 27 - October 3
Ghost Ranch, Abiquiu, NM

It's going to be gorgeous up there while we get to know the energy movement of our own weather systems with a study of the vayus, the winds. We'll have a dynamic 2 hr morning class, spacious afternoons for you to do whatever you like, and a Yin-based class in the evening. Come alone and have time to read, write, paint. Come with a friend and have time to explore and hang...

Meals are included with lodging at Ghost Ranch, unless you choose the camping option, where you can opt out of the meal plan if you choose. They always have vegetarian and GF options.

LINK for registration is in the comments.

It is said that of all the prima ballerinas, Alexandra Danilova had the most beautiful legs. As a girl, I thought the most beautiful legs would be slender. Mom said it was because of her alignment. We’ll be working on the alignment of the legs this week. See you in class, this Saturday, 9am - 10:15am or online Wednesday 8am.
