<div id="attachment_501" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 258px"><a href="http://www.blisswood.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/katalin-axmann-yoga-at-texas-bb.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-501" title="katalin-axmann-yoga-at-texas-b&amp;b" src="http://www.blisswood.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/katalin-axmann-yoga-at-texas-bb.png" alt="" width="248" height="374" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Katalin Axmann hosts yoga retreat at our Texas Guest Ranch</p></div>
<p>We are offering a Yoga Retreat with Katalin Axmann at our <a href="http://www.blisswood.net/retreats-weddings.html">Texas bed and breakfast</a> the weekend of September 18-19, 2010. Start each day with meditation and breathing exercises, which will help clear your mind for a day of yoga. Katalin incorporates elements of Hatha, Iyengar, and Vinyasa yoga in her practice; you&#8217;ll explore the &#8220;bandhas&#8221;, practice arm balance, and perform a wide variety of strength and stretching poses while realigning and readjusting your body.</p>
<p>Katalin Axmann received her hatha yoga certification from the Temple of Kriya Yoga in 2007; at that time, she became a yogini of the Kriya Lineage and a registered yoga teacher by Yoga Alliance. In 2009, she became a Certified Nutrition and Wellness Consultant by the AFPA of the United States of America. Katalin&#8217;s yoga practice is open to all levels &#8211; from novice to advanced. She is adept at accessing and addressing the specific needs of each practitioner. Her training in nutrition and wellness adds to her understanding of the body, and informs her yoga practice.</p>
<p>The Yoga Weekend Retreat with Katalin at our Texas Guest Ranch includes the following: three hour invigorating yoga workshop, two hour restorative yoga, one hour breathing practice, one hour meditation practice.

<p>One advantage to having 650-acres is that there is a great deal of space to spread out and think. In light of this, our <a href="http://www.blisswood.net">guest ranch near Houston</a> is an ideal location for a corporate retreat. The next time you need to bring together members of your team, bring them here. Lodging is ample and private. The setting is comfortable and peaceful, which fosters creativity and allows you to focus on the task at hand. Nearby dining at our Cat Spring restaurant is top-notch, and we are centrally located near Houston, San Antonio and Austin.<br />
<span id="more-181"></span><br />
In the past, Peter Linden of the Leadership Consulting Group, Inc, has brought several companies to this <a href="http://www.blisswood.net/retreats.html">guest ranch</a> for retreats: Haliburton, Gulf States Engineering, and Yemen LNG. The Leadership Consulting Group, Inc. works with business leaders to analyze their organization&#8217;s environment and needs. Their focus is &#8220;functional creativity,&#8221; whereby they &#8220;generate innovative solutions to workplace issues.&#8221; The retreats were productive, and enjoyed by all.</p>
<p>We welcome groups working with LCG, along with groups meeting independently. We can arrange team-building exercises like scavenger hunts, or recreational activities such as bass fishing, archery or frisbee golf to foster good-will among colleagues. If time permits, schedule a group trailride on the <a href="http://www.blisswood.net/activities.html">guest ranch</a>. We hope you will consider us when it is time to schedule your next Houston area corporate retreat.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Blisswood is the perfect place for <a href="http://www.blisswood.net">Houston horseback riding</a>, since we are just an hour from the big city. Bring your own horse to the ranch, or use one of our South American gaited Paso Finos. We have over 600 idyllic acres and miles of trails on which you can lose yourself &#8211; although we won&#8217;t let you get lost. All rides are guided, and our guides will lead you through mature oak forests, across creeks and through meadows. Perhaps you&#8217;ll stop for a spell near a pond, to rest and relax. Lessons are also available, in the ring.</p>
<div id="attachment_133" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 208px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-133" title="trail-ride-houston" src="http://www.blisswood.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/trail-ride-houston-198x300.png" alt="Ride at our Guest Ranch Near Houston" width="198" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Ride at our Guest Ranch Near Houston</p></div>
<p>Why not gather a group of horseback riding girlfriends together for Cowgirl Camp at our <a href="http://www.blisswood.net/specialpackages.html">Guest Ranch near Houston</a>. Contact us to schedule one specially for your group of gals, or to learn about our next scheduled Cowgirl Camp. From the wine and cheese reception, to a workshop with Horse Whisperer Janice Terra, to a post trail ride Houston massage, this weekend is guaranteed to be refreshing and fun.</p>
<p>Our <a href="http://www.blisswood.net">Guest Ranch near Houston</a> is also a perfect place for children 13 or older to ride, as our horses are gentle and the area is quiet. Blisswood is an ideal location for a <a href="http://www.blisswood.net/rooms_onsite.html">family ranch vacation</a> for folks who live in and around Houston. Younger children will be delighted by the various animals we have on the ranch, from our young kangaroo to our new baby calf.</p>
<p>Hope to see you soon with a horse at Blisswood.</p>
