Workshops and Retreats
Yoga experiences that expand beyond the one-hour class on the mat provide opportunity to explore the deeper dimensions of yoga. Expand your awareness and integrate your practice through new yogic adventures with a workshop or retreat that will dive deeply into a subject and inspire your heart and mind. Our workshops change regularly, so check back monthly to see what we have up and coming.
Heartwood offers only a few one-day retreats or multiday events each season, so don't miss them when available.

Upcoming 3 day retreat
Women Unwinding Memorial Weekend Retreat: May 26-29
Step back from the overwhelming overload of work, caregiving, chores, expectations, and endless responsibilities to join other women balancing overfilled lives for a weekend devoted to honoring our feminine power, perseverance, and divine spirit. Join the women’s circle to unwind and revive your depleted spirits and fill your empty soul tanks with inspiration, self-care, self-discovery, and self-love.
This retreat includes yoga on and off the mat as well as labyrinth walking, fire ceremony, garden meditation, journaling, soul collage, gong meditation, great conversation, and more. You will explore how your lives get to be so filled, yet not necessarily “full”, and learn methods to invite peace, harmony, and space into your world so you feel more balanced and connected to the things that count most. Your busy lives do not go away, but you return to them refreshed, renewed, and ready to return to the things you must, yet perhaps willing to make changes where you can and should, to find a more sustainable relationship with your busy world.

4:00 - 7:00 pm
with Ginny and David Shaddock
Did you know the labyrinth at Heartwood is an 11-circuit path, the most traditional design and it is a replication of the Chartres cathedral labyrinth in France? A labyrinth offers a mindful meditative walk because, unlike a maze, a labyrinth is not a puzzle to figure out, but a pattern reflective of sacred geometry that inspires and invokes connection. What better way to ring in the new year than through a gentle yoga and sound bath experience and a mindful walk that invites us to consider the path of our lives, where we have been and where we are going?
Learn all about the labyrinth, from the history to the ceremony of walking the path for reflection and insight with Ginny and David Shaddock, owners of Heartwood and founders of our labyrinth. This workshop includes a gentle yoga class, walking the labyrinth by candlelight as evening rolls in, journaling the labyrinth, and an introduction to the labyrinth as a tool for self-discovery and stress relief. This workshop is held later in the day so we can walk the labyrinth by candlelight, inspired by the stars and the transformational element of fire in our beautiful labyrinth ceremony designed to set intentions and clear our heart and mind.
Workshop fee: $50.00
