The Four Keys in the Florida Keys
A Retreat with Peter Ferko and Wendy Newton
February 8–12, 2025, Largo Resort, Key Largo, Florida
This Retreat Is Cancelled (join the mailing list to hear about future events)
Immerse yourself in a practice based on two profound teachings from the Yoga Sutras: the four keys and the yamas and niyamas.
With a focus on one of the most important aspects of yoga — self-study — we will weave these concepts into our dharma talks, meditation and asana practice to make them relatable to our everyday lives and help us find the perspective we need to take balanced actions in challenging times.
This five-day retreat is for you if you want to:
- Redefine what an authentic yoga practice means
- Settle into a rhythm in your meditation practice
- Deepen and refine your asana and pranayama practice
- Spend quality time with two ISHTA yoga masters
- Make connections with like-minded yoga practitioners
- Unwind by the pool or paddle in the bay
- Warm your toes in some late-winter Florida sunshine!
Rooms are limited. Book now to secure your spot!
Early bird pricing through December 31st!
