Visit North Bend State Park in West Virginia for hiking, sight-seeing, yoga, games and a healthy-and-fun weekend. We will stay in the modern lodge, provided by the park, that includes a conference room, restaurant, information desk, gift shop and more. We will all be in the same building, and we have reserved 6 rooms that are each furnished with two beds. We have space for 12 guests, plus your hosts Mike Curtis, Jackie Parker and Bob Bowling. We are providing two meals, and other meals can be purchased in the restaurant.

North Bend State Park consists of over 1,000 acres and is just 2-and-1/2 hours away from Stark County. The park features old-growth forest, hills, streams, lakes and trails. Some of our hikes will be led by camp staff.

We arrive Friday afternoon and leave Sunday morning. It is up to you how you spend your time, but we will have yoga each of the 3 days and twice on Saturday, plus organized hikes and evening games and camaraderie. You are free to also hike on your own, read, journal, take photos, watch the wildlife and enjoy the “rites of spring.” On Sunday morning we will have time for yoga, breakfast and a hike before leaving, but also know that you can leave earlier or stay longer, as you choose.

Follow up details will be given, to those that sign up, closer to the date.

The cost is $250 per person.

Shakti energy loves to dance, play, and find its way in expressive movement. Join Kristie, family, and friends for the revival of Yoga Central’s monthly dance experience (est. 2015): Shakti Flow!

With an eclectic selection of music, movement, and other creative experiences, Shakti Flow is similar to Ecstatic Dance. It holds the principles of respect, consent, presence, and non-judgment.

You’ll receive guidance for unlocking your joy, with plenty of space to move freely while maintaining a sacred space together. We pull from all genres and movement modalities to inspire our embodiment, and we provide flow props, encourage vocal expression, host special guest DJ’s, and more!
