Join us for our 8th annual Yoga and Integrative Health Retreat for Women - April 25 - 29, 2024 - the very first one offered in the Springtime vs our usual Fall retreat each November.
"This was the best thing that I have ever done for myself and I'm already looking forward to next year." Ann from Bay Area, CA
How often do you quiet your life enough to listen to the wisdom within? This four-night Spring retreat is the perfect get-away to fully reflect on all that inner wisdom within and fully retreat into self-care with an incredible sisterhood - most of whom return year after year.
Not only is the Springtime a seasonal host for renewal but it is the birthtime of your greatest self, which has been in metamorphosis through the winter. We have shed the leaves or versions of ourselves from last year with Autumn and gone into hibernation with Winter in order to prepare for what is yet to come - the best version of yourSELF is ready to SPRING forth and we are here to support your transformation.
This Yosemite retreat offers a perfect getaway with daily yoga, hikes, access to the health spa, personalized workshops, delicious meals, immersive art projects, wellness spa experiences and so much more. Since 2015, Jena and Stephanie have offered this annual retreat that only continues to grow and get even better as this tribe of women continue to attend and create lifelong friendships and memories. We can't wait to see you!
