We offer
–Small class size in a LARGE SPACE: Our Great Room where we hold class inside gives you plenty of room to stretch out without touching your neighbor. (Max Class Size is 16)
–Uplifting practice setting: the Great Room at Zoetic Eco Retreat was chosen with connection to nature in mind. The vast light drenched space makes opening up your mind and body in unison with others a special joy.
–Refreshments & Entertainment: Come a half hour early and partake of the snack and tea bar. Or stay half an hour later to linger with Zoetic’s modest art collection. It’s challenging to focus if you are hungry or thirsty. We’ve got you covered with a selection of fruit, nuts, and cold and hot tea.
-Inclement Weather Plan: When the weather is right we also hold PRACTICE at different locations outside, in the 30 acre forest, or on special occasion, in the heated pool.
