"Great yoga sequencing, great vibe & attitude"
Give yourself full permission to relax and unwind at this perfect weekend getaway in Finger Lakes Wine Country!
Our host for the weekend, Firelight Camps, offers us an elevated camping experience within a fairy forest. Each giant safari tent features real furniture (including a dreamy mattress!) and a private deck. Glance to the sky for your favorite constellation, or out into the trees to watch fireflies dance with the glowing orbs of your provided lantern. Clearly marked paths will lead you to the hospitality tent, where you can play games and mingle, read a book, charge your electronics (if needed), or just sit by the campfire sipping a glass of wine. A short walk leads you to the bathhouse, with running water and hot showers. Treat yourself to the onsite August Moon Spa, either with a spa treatment, or a $7 day pass to their tranquility rooms, sauna, and steam room.
"With Rachel I'm able to find a more meditative feeling with the flow, and leave yoga class feeling mentally, emotionally, and physically restored"
Each morning we will greet the day, and in the evening say farewell to the sun and greet the moon, with yoga taught by Rachel in Firelight's beautiful indoor/outdoor yoga tent. Rachel works with various levels of students in her daily teaching, and will tailor each class for all experience levels and the energy of the group.
Centrally located in the rolling hills of Upstate NY at the southern tip of Cayuga Lake, Ithaca boasts marvelous views, stunning sunsets, and super friendly people. The Finger Lakes region is known for its commitment to farm fresh food, local cuisine, and award winning wines - all of which you will get to experience this weekend!
Our wine tour partner for the weekend is Experience! the Finger Lakes, the #1 wine touring company in the region. E!FLX has developed relationships with many amazing wineries, and will take us on a magical tour that includes: barrel cellar tastings, nibbles of local cheese, VIP treatment at each of our stops, special reserve wines, chocolate(!), and more. The wine tour will be focused on a dry style Vinifera palette, but don't worry sweeties, we have wine for you too!
