In Balance Yoga
RETREATS
Mission:
In Balance Yoga Retreats, based in the New River Valley and led by Ivi Brenner and Becky Crigger, offers a series of weekend retreat programs throughout the year designed for the individual to deepen his or her yoga and meditation practices. Weekends include asana, pranayama, meditation and workshops by leaders in the fields of health, wellness and spirituality.

Becky Crigger, director of In Balance Yoga Studio, grew up in Blacksburg and after living in Boston, Nashville, Virginia Beach and Williamsburg, decided to return home to the mountains with her husband, Chris, to raise their two young girls, Laura and Lilly. Becky has been teaching yoga for nine years, has owned a successful yoga studio in Williamsburg, and opened In Balance Yoga Studio in Blacksburg in December 2009. Becky's strengths as a yoga teacher lie in her dedication to the study of philosophy and spiritual practice. Since 2008, she has certified forty yoga instructors through her yoga teacher training school and looks forward to sharing the deeper dimensions of yoga with her students through yoga retreats.

Ivi Brenner has lived in the New River Valley for the past thirteen years with her husband, Kevin, and their two teenage children, Michael and Lauren. This once frantic New Yorker traded in her frenetic lifestyle for a slower, saner and more mindful existence. She found a way through yoga and meditation to connect to a place of stillness, safety and peace that she now wants to share with others. Ivi is currently going through yoga teacher certification at In Balance Yoga Studio and hopes to share her passion through classes, workshops and retreats.
