Howdy gang! 🌸 I am SO EXCITED to share – this September 17-20, I am hosting a Fall Equinox Yoga Retreat ☀️🍁🌑 at the luminous @groundworks.space in Gardiner, NY, nestled in the Shawangunk Mountains ⛰️

Together we’ll practice in community, take in the nature and rest // restore. This is an absolutely *gorgeous* property, with nature trails, a sculpture garden, sauna, hot tub, chickens (~20 of the cute lil guys 🐥) and a fully-equipped yoga studio (modern design, beautiful sundrenched windows, ample space, all the props we could ever want and walls for inversion practice 🙃). All the food is provided on site. Bimol of @duihatamassage (he’s back!!!) will be on site to offer revitalizing bodywork and massage. There will be a diverse array of modality offerings, hands on feedback and assistance, workshops, arts and crafts, and a community focus on growth within and enjoyment of the Yoga practice.

This is a retreat for everyone - all yogis, all bodies, and for all levels. Together we’ll explore and deepen our practice 🕉️

Check out the link in my bio for rooms/rates. I’m offering an Early Bird 🕊️ until June 30th. Shared, private, and camping options are all available. A deposit is needed to secure your spot, and payment plans are available.

Hi, I’m Kimo 🕊️ welcome to @kimo.yoga. I recently took these photos with the exceptional @garrida and thought an introduction was in order 👋🏼

I’m an NYC-based yoga teacher with a passion for movement. My journey with yoga began in 2015, at a time when I was just getting to know myself and my body. Over the years my practice has percolated, conditioned, and expanded to include practicing yoga, teaching yoga, rock climbing, long walks and active rest.

Here’s where I’ve landed: To me, yoga is the space between action and reaction. The practice is an opportunity to ask myself how/what/why I’m feeling. The moving meditation brings me closer to myself. And when I’m off the mat, the practice is always with me.

If you know me, you know that I love sharing physical space, and am blessed to lead classes at @ariseinbrooklyn and @douyogabrooklyn, and I offer private classes in NYC. What I’m *not* so good at is sharing in liminal media spaces 👾

But! I’m leaning in. I’m feeling through it. I’m practicing intention and authenticity. This page is a piece of me. If you’re reading this, I’m touched to be a stone on your path 🪨

If you want to practice together, explore together, laugh together, work together, achieve together, or simply share space together, do reach out. I am easy to find 🤲🏼

with love, Kimo 🕊️ by @kimo.yoga

10 days after my Fall Equinox Retreat 🍁 at @groundworks.space, I’m still mentally there. I can still feel the warmth of the fire, the vibrations of our breath, and the sounds of the chickens (all 27 of them!) It was my joy and privilege to be in community with this great group and, in sangha सङ्घ, dive deep into the practice. In 4 bountiful days we:

• Explored asana, meditation, and the breath 🌬️
• Shared music, stories, poems, creativity, kirtan 📿
• Foraged and crafted cyanotypes with @mckdekuyper 🌿
• Examined pelvic floor awareness with @duihatamassage 🩻
• Played with new perspectives in inversions 🙃
• Gifted ourselves deep rest in Yoga Nidra 💤
• Rang in the Fall Equinox with 108 Sun Salutations at sunrise 🌞

This is but a snapshot of the magic we co-created in the embrace of Groundworks. THANK YOU to the Groundworks family - Kristen, Maddie, Frank, and their pups Hazel and Ivy. You made this a home with arms wide open. Thank you to @duihatamassage and @mckdekuyper for their partnership, intention and care. And thank you to everyone who joined. A retreat is only as expansive as the group that brings it to life. I am filled with gratitude to the energy each and every one of you contributed.

Surya Namaskar सूर्यनमस्कार (Sun Salutation) is the practice of bowing to the sun. The sun’s energy is found in all life on earth, including each of us. When we bow to the light above us, we bow to the light within us, and all around us. On this retreat, I observed everyone bowing to the light within themselves, and to the light of those around them. Whether in reps of 1 or 108, we all bowed in devotion and dedication ☀️

Thank you for letting me take the seat of the teacher.
In heartfelt gratitude, I bow to you. Namaste 🕉️

Kimo 🕊️

P.S. And of course – thank you to the Chickens ❤️🐓❤️ See you next year! by @kimo.yoga

It’s been two months since I lead my first Yoga Retreat at @wildsong.farm. I’ve had some time to process this experience. When asked, ‘How was the retreat?’, I’ve answered something like this:

Leading this retreat was like climbing a mountain 🏔️ The planning, the dreaming, the marketing, the organizing, the sequencing, the fretting. There were times this year I didn’t know if it would happen, if I was capable. The days leading up to the Retreat I was a mess. And then on November 13th, we arrived.

Finally, on top of the mountain, I took a breath and looked around. The view was magnificent. For four days, I was illuminated by the land, the joy of community, and the trust they gave me to hold the Seat of the Teacher.

These videos offer a small glimpse into what it was like. Many are by the ethereal @mckdekuyper , without whom I could not have done this. If you’re reading this, I’m honored to share them with you. I have so much more to share, and so much more to give to this practice and through this practice.

With gratitude towards the past
and excitement for the future
and the heartbeat of the present,

Two weeks ago, I had the privilege of leading my first ever Yoga Retreat at @wildsong.gaian.sanctuary. Over four days we moved, grooved, flew and grew. We practiced in community, sang to the divine and listened to the trees 🍁

There’s so much I want to say, so much I want to share. I’ll lead with this - Thank You. To the Wildsong team, for tending to this sacred space. To Anne, Kiley and Tally of @mushrooms.nyc for their amazing food and soulful nourishment. To @duihatamassage for restorative massage and selfless friendship. To the land, to the trees, to the babbling brook, to Hashishkabob the cuddly guard dog, to the beaver and his dam. To all those who couldn’t make it but still gave their support. To all those who believed in me.

And with my whole heart - Thank You to the sangha who came along on this adventure. Thank you for taking care of the fire, and of each other. For 8 months, I poured my heart into making this Yoga Retreat a reality. What I could never have predicted was how much of your own hearts you would pour back 💕🫶🏻

Thank you for being a part of my community, my yoga journey, this Retreat – my first Retreat. It won’t be the last.

Together through the practice, we will examine the space between action and reaction. Kimo is a 500hr RYT (Arise Yoga, 2019 & Yogamaya, 2025).
