wonderful luminous petite retreat, visitors in Abiquiu. Held by the land, the history, the wisdom of our experiences, our bodies, poetry, the asana, and the vayus (winds). With appreciation & gratitude.

raisa tolchinsky is the resident poet at Ghost Ranch Abiquiu. She curates daily poems. We used “The Way In” by Linda Hogan to talk about the .

The sun peaked out for 2 hours this morning. I hiked Box Canyon and took a zillion pictures of rocks and the milky creek.

Getting in the mood for my yoga retreat “Winds of Change: Yoga & the Vayus” from September 27- October 3 at Ghost Ranch retreat in Abiquiu, NM this Sunday. We’ll be on Tewa land.

Thru November there’s a wonderful exhibit at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum called Tewa Nangeh/ Tewa Land that centers indigenous artists reclaiming the land onto which the myth of Georgia O’Keeffe is projected.

This mural by Eliza Naranjo Morse “Coming Home” is made of charcoal and hand harvested dirt.

And here’s a view O’Keefe painted from her bedroom window.

It’s not too late to run an away and join us for the retreat. https://www.ghostranch.org/program/1189/winds-of-change-yoga-and-the-vayus/

My teacher Surya’s beautiful words on food & nourishment

Every morning starts the same way for me. Lemon water with a pinch of salt. A short prayer. The pot on the stove.

I have understood for a long time that what I put in my body is part of the same practice as what I do on the mat. Not separate from it.

For women especially, and I am speaking from four decades of this, the nervous system responds to food the way it responds to breath. The right meal at the right time can restore what an hour of asana cannot.

Warm foods in times of stress. Simplicity when the body is depleted. Eating slowly as its own form of meditation.

This is what I cook for our immersion students, and what I cook for myself. The kitchen is part of the temple.

What does your body need to be nourished today? Not fed, but truly nourished.

— Surya

Winds of Change: Yoga & the Vayus
September 27 - October 3, 2026
Ghost Ranch, Abiquiu, NM

Join Edie Tsong for a magical week of yoga in the spectacular and historic setting of Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu, NM. Our days will be framed by a dynamic morning class and in the evening, a gentle class with music. Spacious afternoons are open to explore the region, relax, or whatever your heart desires. The classes are alignment-based with use of props with support of teachings on the the five vayus (winds): apana, samana, prana, udana, and vyana. These winds govern our prana/life force. Though the retreat is practice-based, we learn one vayu each morning. Sequences build from day to day and classes include meditation, pranayama, and poetry. Participants will leave with tools for grounding and centering and remaining flexible in this rapidly changing world. Participants should have some knowledge of yoga and be in good health.
There are different camping and lodging options and meal plans. The cafeteria always include vegetarian and gluten free options.

DM with any questions!

YIN, Saturdays online , 11am - 12:15pm
email radiantanimal [at] gmail for link & payment instructions.
I provide students with the zoom recording, good for a week, so even if you can't make it live, you can watch the recording to your heart's content. Email for this week's recording.

Because I've had many injuries from being physically active (including a trampoline snafu!) I always include a little bit of stabilizing for the hips and attention to midline. That way, rather than becoming a jelly fish, we become a jelly fish organized around a midline.

We use props - blocks, belt, blankets, and bolster if you have one.

Winds of Change: Yoga & the Vayus
September 27 - October 3
Ghost Ranch, Abiquiu, NM

It's going to be gorgeous up there while we get to know the energy movement of our own weather systems with a study of the vayus, the winds. We'll have a dynamic 2 hr morning class, spacious afternoons for you to do whatever you like, and a Yin-based class in the evening. Come alone and have time to read, write, paint. Come with a friend and have time to explore and hang...

Meals are included with lodging at Ghost Ranch, unless you choose the camping option, where you can opt out of the meal plan if you choose. They always have vegetarian and GF options.

LINK for registration is in the comments.
