Fall Into Yoga
With Alison Gurevich and Carolyn Petramale
October 28 - 30, 2022
Fall into Yoga – The Oya Fall Retreat: October 28 -30th
Join Alison Gurevich and Carolyn Petramale with Oya Yoga for a retreat away from the hustle and into the beauty of fall. This unique retreat includes daily yoga practices in a range of styles including a double mat mandala practice in the Universal yoga style and a Sound Healing With Michael Burke.
Universal Yoga is an authentic eastern system of yoga created by Yoga Master Andrey Lappa. Universal Yoga is based on the mayakoshas (sheaths) to create balance on all the layers of the self; physical, energetic, emotional, psychological, intellectual, bliss and karmic layers, using the three main threads of yoga practice; body, breath and mind. A typical class will combine strength, stretch and balance asanas, vinyasa, breathing techniques and turns on the mat, creatively integrated using all major ranges of motion for arms, legs and spine. The primary goal of the practice is not only to work the physical body, but to target one’s concentration, balance energy and the nervous system, develop focus and attention, to turn awareness inward, creating a serenely stable inner-atmosphere conducive for personal development.
All are welcome and yoga offerings will be made accessible for all yoga levels. Please note that parts of the double mat mandala practice (offered only on Saturday morning) may best be appreciated by those with an intermediate yoga practice. This practice does include meditation, breathwork, slow deep stretching, and more advanced physical opportunities integrated into one practice.
Oya is a yoga studio, wellness boutique, art gallery, and holistic center that has been serving the Alpharetta, Georgia and North Atlanta community since we opened in 2018. We aim to help students transform, change, and create. Alison and Carolyn guide a wide range of classes each week at Oya, and Michael Burke leads Oya’s monthly Sound and Wine events.

All meals, beverages (vegetarian and vegan options)
Daily breathwork, meditation, and yoga practices in a range of styles.
