Knitting and Yoga Adventure on Monhegan Island off the coast of Maine

Come away and experience your innate creativity, supported by the rhythm
of the tides and the stunning beauty
and strength of Monhegan Island from
September 21 to 27, 2008

Knitting designer and author Lisa Evans,
Anusara-Inspired Yoga Teacher Suzanne Lynch
join together for a wonderful retreat designed
to restore and renew you on every level.


Lisa will lead...

. . . a daily knitting session exploring the art of color work knitting. She encourages participants to draw upon the stunning Monhegan Island setting for inspiration while exploring the many uses of color and color techniques in their own knitting. Students will have the option of working on their own projects or one of Lisa's original handbag designs of their choosing while learning more about Fair Isle, Intarsia, and designing with color. Open unstructured evening knitting sessions will allow time for working on ongoing projects, starting new ones, or exploring the color work techniques covered in the studio sessions.

Suzanne will teach...

. . . two daily yoga sessions, suitable for all levels of students. Late morning classes will focus on enhancing and expressing beauty in our practice and in our lives, inspired by radiance of Monhegan Island. We will conclude each afternoon with a deeply restful and luxurious restorative practice. One hour long massage is included in the retreat, and additional body work may be booked.

Our schedule...

. . . will include ample free time in the afternoons for enjoying the many activities available on the island: Hiking through the woods to some of the highest cliffs on the Atlantic Ocean, perusing the island art galleries and shops, exploring the lighthouse and the Monhegan Historical and Cultural Museum, picnicking on a sunbaked bluff while watching the surf crash on the rugged ocean side of the island, napping on the lawn, reading, more knitting, and relaxing, relaxing, relaxing!
