Spiritual Warrior Kundalini retreat
At Omega Instute
Join us for a summer camp experience like no other
Embrace the masterpiece that you are with a Kundalini Yoga practice that cultivates a sense of courage inside, guided by Yoga Farm Ithaca teachers.
Kundalini Yoga is often called the yoga of householders, meaning that we do not need to be on the monastic path to experience divine love.
Your Retreat Experience
This is the week to unlearn stories of limitations and "not good enoughs" and instead embrace the masterpiece that you are, shine your light, and return to your life renewed.
Join us in a restorative communal and trauma-informed healing experience. All levels are welcome. No kundalini experience necessary.
During this Kundalini Yoga retreat, Yoga Farm Ithaca founder Jeannie O'Neill and advanced yoga teacher Francine Reynolds lead us to engage our inner magic—with a practice that cultivates a sense of courage and power inside the self. Remember the magic you were born with and return to that sense of freedom and vitality that you long for. Use your voice, body, and intention to create deep resonance that attracts what you want, and release what is no longer serving you.
DATES:
5 nights
Jul 7–12, 2024

Student Reviews
The Yoga Farm retreat I went on was a life changing experience. I felt loved, accepted, cared for, and inspired the entire time. For me, it was the culmination of years of practice in self-healing, awareness and growth. It was a time and place which gave me the space to explore that growth in a loving, supportive, safe and BEAUTIFUL environment. It cultivated and inspired the motivation I needed in order to make significant life changes. The lessons I learned there helped to guide me on my path towards chasing my joy and trusting my deepest intuitions. Yoga Farm is a family and community unlike any other. I cannot wait for the next retreat!

On my retreat with YFI, everything that I needed to support my journey of healing and growth was available: delicious, nourishing meals, wise and generous teachers and compassionate community. I gained clarity of purpose and am now able to embrace ALL of who I am and the incredible opportunities that await.

What I learned on retreat with Yoga Farm
Chanting is now an act of time travel.
A space I re-enter any time I'm in need.
Where I feel each of you in my bones, in my cells, in my soul.
You inspire laughter and tears and remind me of the full spectrum of this existence.
And I remember all the pieces that make me whole.
The pieces that were reflected back to me, gifted to me.
And I return home.
