PLYMOUTH, VT YOGA + YARN RETREAT
November 12 - 15, 2026
at Good Commons Retreat Center in Plymouth, Vermont
Join fellow knitting yogis in picturesque Vermont for a four-day, three-night wellness getaway.
All yoga classes are tailored to a knitter's needs. Postures are geared to help strengthen your hands, release tension in areas like your forearms and shoulders and open up hips stiff from sitting while knitting. The morning yoga classes are a flow style and the afternoon classes offer meditation and restorative yoga poses. Yoga classes are for all levels, beginners welcome.
We offer one-on-one knitting help and teach specific technique classes by request. We create a flexible schedule to create time for current WIPS and to learn new skills. Stuck on a tricky project? Can't find the perfect stretchy bind off for your neckline? Bring it along and we will solve all your knitting woes.... we haven't failed yet!
In addition to our knitting and yoga, we will visit a local farm for a fun day excursion. You will also have plenty of free time to visit the charming village of Woodstock or take a hike on one of the surrounding trails. Massages are available for an additional cost.
