Amanda McMaine is an internationally recognized teacher and long-time student of both Angela Farmer, noted
for her emphasis on unfolding the feminine aspect of our nature, and Richard Freeman, one of the most outstanding astanga
teachers in the United States. Amanda brings warmth, grace, and subtlety, as well as the fruits of many years of concentrated
internal exploration, to her teaching of yoga. The work done with Amanda is usually slow, intense, and deep. This year, join
her for a dive into the natural relationship between breath and bandha and the relationships among breath, bandha and asana.

There
are also a multitude of cabins, houses and B&Bs and a few other hotels to choose from, many with hot tubs. A computerized
search of "Brown County Lodgings" brings up many websites, all with multiple options. Accommodations, prices and
terms of stay vary widely. Remember that Brown County is noted for its many narrow, twisty, hilly roads, so factor travel
time into any out-of-park or out-of-town planning.
This year, dining on your own. Abe Martin Lodge has a full-service
restaurant. Within the last year, the new food and beverage director has added lighter options to the menu and will include
vegetarian entrees during our retreat. Restaurants in town expand your choices. Muddy Boots cafÈ is a new local favorite.
Hob Nob Corner is also a popular choice. Most of the hotels listed above have dining rooms.
