Join us for a glorious weekend of welcoming spring to the Cape and into our bodies, hearts, and souls. This will be our second time at the Beach Rose Inn and we look forward to seeing the new landscaping and other improvements. Last year we were there at the end of April and all the daffodils and other signs of spring were evident. This year, the end of May should be even more delicious. The inn, tucked away on a quiet lane in the peaceful village of West Falmouth, was built in 1863 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It has been lovingly and artistically restored, decorated, and enhanced, by innkeepers Sheryll and Douglas Reichwein, co-founders of the Institute for Contemporary Feng Shui.
Yoga classes are appropriate for all levels and will balance more vigorous asana practice with quieter restorative poses. We will hold our classes just down the road at the West Falmouth Library in a lovely spacious room with beautiful woodwork, oriental rugs, bathed in light and steeped in history.
Meals will be prepared by chef Felicia. We are still talking about the meals she prepared for us last year, which included the most fabulous Indian vegetarian dinner and a strawberry butter cream cake to die for!
In your downtime, enjoy on-site massage, take a drive to Woods Hole, walk the beaches, read, or shop in town.
