Venue
Since its founding in 1977, the Omega Institute has provided opportunities for growth, learning, and healing on its beautiful Rhinebeck Campus. Every year some 23,000 students arrive on the 200 forested acres 90 miles north of New York City, to learn from renowned experts on subjects like mindfulness, spirituality, environmentalism, psychology, creativity, social justice and, yes, yoga.
But your experience at Rhinebeck isn’t limited to your time in the studio. Between classes you can share a delicious meal at the dining hall, wend your way through kilometers of hiking trails, kayak the local lake, take to the tennis or basketball courts, or tour the world-famous Centre for Sustainable Living. You can grab a coffee at the Omega Cafe, pamper yourself with a massage at the Wellness Centre, find some spiritual healing at the Sanctuary, or retreat to the comfort of your room. One of Omega’s core values is holism, belief in the interdependence of all things, and Rhinebeck underscores this ethic by giving students the space to connect with their peers, the environment, and their deepest selves.
At DoYogaWithMe we’re always thinking of ways to connect our personal practices with the wider world, so what better place than Omega’s Rhinebeck campus to host our Yoga Summit 2019?

Food
Three times a day, Omega’s chefs serve up wholesome and delicious buffet-style meals at the Rhinebeck Campus’s dining hall. Chat with your peers over a menu designed with the help of James Beard Award-winning chef Michel Nischan that incorporates mostly organic, plant-based dishes sourced with extreme attention to sustainability and ethics.
Most of the meals come from local or regional farmers, there are always vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, and the chefs are happy to accommodate those for those with other specific dietary needs. And, if you happen to find yourself a little peckish between meals, you can swing down to the Omega Café and take tea overlooking the campus garden!

West coast in the future?
Laura Nixon 2 months ago
This looks awesome! I have not been following your retreat options until now. If you would ever consider gathering these or similar teachers together for something on Vancouver Island or the Sunshine Coast areas, that would be even more exciting!
Re: West coast in the future?
David Procyshyn 1 month ago
Yes, I think it will be!
We already have a retreat set up on Vancouver Island (well, Cortes Island, to be exact). Do you think you could make it to my retreat with Fiji at Hollyhock? Here's the link:

I am in!
Just starting to organize my 2019 training and I wonder if there's a plan to pay registration first and then 2-3 payments for the rest.
Otherwise I can wait a couple month until I can do a one time payment :)
