2022 Retreat Feedback
"Can’t wait for the next one! What a magical weekend!!!"
- Jerilyn
"I’m perfectly imperfect. I’m taking away a friendship and family of people who are perfectly imperfect too. And while it’s the shared love for our teachers that brought us together, the thing that will remain long after we’re gone is the love that was passed down to us from those teachers all because they loved us. They are the change makers who are brave, generous and undefended when it comes to love. And that is more than I could have ever asked for in my life
- Peggy
"I wish I’d taken more pics!! Was too busy getting lost in the magic of each moment."

2022 Retreat Feedback
“Yesterday as we were lounging around a 1100 brick fireside I looked out into the darkness to see a man in his garage looking out to us. I felt a sadness for him. Because while he was obviously in awe of all the beautiful people he was witness to he couldn’t and wouldn’t possibly know the truth of the situation. That the people around that 1100 brick fireside were a family. A family like any family brought together by two people who loved each other, their teachers, the practice and teaching of yoga so much that they made a community, a family of people brought together intentionally and purposefully to pass down the lineage and teaching given to them. But it’s not just yoga that holds this family together. This family is a chosen one and the glue that binds is a love so unconditional and free of judgment. It’s a love few are privy to and nowadays is hard to find. What the man couldn’t know is that these two badass super women had a vision and because of their determination and dedication the love grows and grows down this lineage. Their love reflects deeper than anything I have ever known and makes me a stronger, better person because I am slowly beginning to love myself because they love me.
