Rules + REBELS
An Ashtanga x Rocket Yoga Retreat
River Mountain Resort
Everett, Pennsylvania
May 15-18, 2025
Step into the flow of tradition and innovation with Jen and Michelle at our Rules and Rebels Retreat. Set against the serene backdrop of River Mountain Resort, this 4-day journey is your chance to explore the disciplined grace of Mysore-style Ashtanga alongside the free-spirited energy of Rocket Yoga.
Morning Mysore sessions invite you to honor the foundations of yoga with a self-paced practice, fostering discipline and personal growth. Afternoons take flight with dynamic Rocket Yoga, a playful yet challenging approach that bends the rules and invites you to rewrite your limits.
Beyond the mat, unwind with mountain hikes, fireside chats, and the perfect balance of community and introspection. Whether you're a devoted traditionalist or a rebel ready to soar, this retreat is your opportunity to embrace both worlds.
Come as you are. Leave with strength, clarity, and a deeper connection to your practice—and yourself.
Let’s goooooo!
