A Day to Practice. Learn. Connect. Go Deeper.
For one day, DRIFT becomes our retreat.
This intimate experience is designed for dedicated yoga students who are curious to explore yoga beyond the physical practice and spend meaningful time learning, moving, connecting, and simply being.
Instead of traveling away for the weekend, we’re bringing the retreat experience into the heart of DRIFT for a full-day urban yoga immersion—creating space to step away from the everyday without having to leave the city.
Led by Lara Ederer, with Vivian Duelli joining for our closing Yoga + Sound experience, the day will weave together an extended morning practice, yoga philosophy and deeper study, shared food, conversation, sound, and time for integration.
THE DAY
10:00–11:30 AM | 90-Minute Yoga Practice with Lara
Begin with an intentional extended practice designed to prepare the body and mind for a day of deeper exploration.
11:45 AM–12:30 PM | Brunch + Community
Gather around the table for a beautiful seasonal brunch, included with your retreat.
12:35–3:35 PM | Premise Immersion with Lara
An afternoon of conversation, lecture, reflection, and exploration. We’ll move beyond asana and into some of the deeper layers of yoga, including:
• Yoga philosophy + the Eight Limbs
• Mythology, mantra + symbolism
• Functional anatomy and how it informs your practice
• Bringing yoga off the mat and into everyday life
• Space for questions, discussion + connection
3:45–4:30 PM | Yoga + Sound & Closing with Lara + Vivian
Shift from learning back into experiencing. Gentle movement and restorative integration will lead into an immersive sound bath—a chance to absorb the day rather than simply think about it.
YOUR RETREAT INCLUDES
A full day of yoga, learning and connection; seasonal brunch; a beautifully printed Premise Immersion Manual to continue your exploration at home; a thoughtfully curated Premise swag bag; Yoga + Sound Bath; and a few special DRIFT touches throughout the day.

You don’t always have to travel far to retreat.
Sometimes retreat is simply creating the space to step out of your routine, turn inward, learn something new, and reconnect with your practice.
One day. Close to home. A deeper way into yoga.
