Most of us are moving through life too quickly to notice we’ve lost touch with ourselves. We fill our calendars. We take care of others. We push through—but we rarely pause. If your heart has been quietly whispering that it’s time to come home to yourself, Yoga’s Path to Inner Peace at Big Raven Farm is your invitation to listen.
This is more than a yoga retreat. It’s a reset, a remembering, and a return—to your breath, your body, your values, and your peace.
Rooted in Ancient Wisdom, Designed for Real Life
The soul of this retreat is inspired by the book The Yamas and the Niyamas by Deborah Adele—an accessible and profound guide to the ethical and spiritual foundations of yoga. These ten principles offer a roadmap for living with more kindness, honesty, discipline, and self-compassion.
Over the course of four days, you’ll not only read these teachings—you’ll embody them. You’ll reflect, journal, move, breathe, and share within a community of women who are also seeking to live more intentionally.
Every session, every meal, every moment is designed to bring you closer to your own inner alignment.

Why This Retreat Changes Lives
It’s not just the yoga. It’s not just the food (though our guests will tell you Darin’s cooking is reason enough to come). It’s the intention behind every element. It’s the care we put into creating a space where women feel safe, nurtured, and truly seen.
It’s the experience of being surrounded by people who are also walking the path back to themselves.
“You can feel the love in every inch of this place. From the food to the art on the walls to the kindness of everyone here—I felt like I belonged. Like I mattered.” —Guest Review
Each day, we’ll use The Yamas and the Niyamas to open the door to conversation—not just about yoga philosophy, but about real life. We’ll explore themes like non-harming, truthfulness, contentment, and self-discipline—not as abstract concepts, but as living, breathing practices that help us find more peace and purpose.
You’ll walk away with:
-
A deeper understanding of your own patterns and possibilities
-
Tools for everyday mindfulness and self-awareness
-
The confidence to live more aligned with your core values
-
A renewed connection with yourself—and a few lifelong friendships, too
A Space Where You Are Truly Cared For
Big Raven Farm is more than just a retreat center—it’s our home. And when you stay with us, you’re part of our extended family. You’ll sleep in cozy beds, eat around our shared table, and relax into the kind of deep rest that only comes from feeling safe, held, and appreciated.
“This place is like a warm hug for your soul.” — Google Review
We keep our retreats small on purpose. With a limited number of guests, we’re able to offer personal attention, custom support, and the space for real connection.
Because here, you’re not a customer. You’re a cherished guest.
