Orange Springs: Your Yoga Group Retreat Center
Summer is fast approaching and Orange Springs Retreat has already been hosting all kinds of retreats in Central FL! The summer is for relaxing and enjoying the outdoors, the sunlight, and making memories with friends and family. Floridians have the privilege of being able to enjoy many of these things year round, but even we know that summer is as much a feeling in the air as it is about the weather.
One of the best ways to unwind is the ancient spiritual practice of yoga, which has gained great popularity in the West in the past 20 years. Some of Orange Springs Retreats earliest group retreats were yoga retreats. We’ve grown a lot since then, and while we still host many yoga retreats, we typically help wellness and yoga centers coordinate groups of 50 or more people to use our wonderfully spacious retreat grounds for their group yoga retreat.
Why Go On an Outdoor Yoga Retreat in Central FL?
Orange Springs Retreat Center is the perfect outdoor yoga retreat location in Central FL. Bordering the Ocala National Forest, there are ample amounts of free space and nature to be found within the confines of our multi-acre retreat center.
#1 – Refine Your Spiritual Practice
We believe our grounds are the perfect place to be in nature and refine your spiritual practice. While yoga can be done anywhere and nearly any time, being in a group retreat setting can further bring about a sense of harmony and discipline to your practice.
As a spiritual tradition that is sidelong to meditation, both practices emphasis the cultivation of focus and awareness, but sometimes that can also mean having the wisdom to—at times, allow yourself peace and quiet to develop those faculties.
#2 – Nature is Naturally Decompressing
Day to day life can be stressful and result in accumulate fatigue over time. The thing about fatigue is that when it builds up slowly, day by day, it can be difficult to recognize that gradual burden. By the time you’re burnt out, you don’t even remember what it was like to feel fresh, unburdened, and relaxed.
Not just for yoga retreats, but all retreats at Orange Springs benefit from the spaciousness of our locale and the privacy it offers. What better environment to practice yoga in with other like-minded individuals?
#3 – Hot Yoga Made Easy
If you or the group you organize has been practicing yoga for even a short period of time, you probably know about hot yoga. It’s well known that yoga can improve muscle tone and flexibility, leading to greater range of motion and the sense of relaxation and freedom in the body that people flock to the practice for.
A way that the intensity of practice can be dialed up is performing the exercises in a room that has been heated and humidified to increase effort and blood flow. Temperatures of hot yoga rooms can reach up to 105 degrees depending on the intensity of the session being offered!
For us Floridians, we have our own natural hot room—it’s called outside, and you’ll get plenty of it at Orange Springs Retreat. Doing yoga out in the sun on the grass is a treat, and sessions can be done throughout the day to determine what kind of heat level participants want to tolerate.
Thankfully, with our climate controlled facilities, anyone who has had enough of the heat outside in the summer can find reprieve inside our facilities at any time.
