A weekend of yoga, shared presence, creative expression, and attunement to the sacred rhythm of the Autumnal Equinox
Join us—Heather Hagaman and Elise Cunningham, a mother-daughter yoga teaching team—for a nourishing weekend retreat at Seven Oaks Retreat Center in Madison, Virginia.
We bring a unique blend of warmth and creativity to this sacred gathering. The retreat is lovingly designed to guide you into a deeper connection with your body’s innate wisdom, attuned to the natural rhythms of the Earth. Held during the Autumnal Equinox—when day and night are in perfect balance—we’ll explore the themes of harmony, transition, and renewal.
Throughout the weekend, we’ll move with intention to honor both our inner cycles and the shifting seasons around us. Through gentle yoga, mindful movement, and reflective practices, you’ll cultivate balance between effort and ease, light and shadow, doing and resting.
This sacred time invites you to harvest your growth, release what no longer serves, and nourish your whole self—mind, body, and spirit. In a space of safety and grace, you’ll be supported by shared presence and creative expression through art-making. Elise, a gifted mural artist who created all the paintings on the walls of Beloved Yoga, brings her soulful visual artistry to the retreat, infusing the space with inspiration and beauty. You’ll be invited to listen deeply, embody wholeness, and come home to yourself.
Elise will be six months pregnant at the time of this retreat and we warmly welcome other mothers-to-be. Mothers and adult daughters, sisters and best friends are also encouraged to attend as part of the intention of this retreat is generational connection and shared wisdom between women in all phases of their lives.
