Closing the Year with Full Hearts ✨

Our Renewal Retreat this past Saturday was the most beautiful way to complete our 2025 offerings - a spacious, restorative day filled with warmth, presence, and deep exhale moments. To everyone who joined us: thank you. Your energy and openness made this gathering truly special.

We’re still holding the sweetness of reflections like this one: “The retreat was amazing and just what I needed that day. I still feel the effects of being supported and cared for go deeply. I can’t wait for the next retreat!” ~ Molly

As we step into December, we’re honoring a gentle pause - a month to soften, slow down, and let everything we’ve created this year settle.

A time for rest.
A time for listening.
A time for tending to the inner soil so that new inspirations can take root for 2026.

There will be no events or offerings this month as we intentionally make space for reflection, renewal, and behind-the-scenes dreaming.

Wishing you all a peaceful, heart-warming, and nourishing holiday season.
May your December be spacious and kind, filled with small moments of magic and deep breaths of your own. ❄️❤️

With so much gratitude,
The Yoga Garden Retreat

On November 22nd, step into a day of rejuvenation and restoration at our Renewal Retreat.

You’ll get to experience two unique sauna rituals facilitated by Marika Charbonneau:

✨Venik Massage – A healing ritual with birch or oak branches that stimulates circulation, releases toxins, and restores balance.

✨Aufguss Ritual – An aromatic infusion of steam and essential oils designed to awaken your senses and elevate your sauna experience.

Transform your day into a spa-like journey of pure bliss with a half-hour massage therapy session with Viviana Bustamante, a personalized treatment to release deep tension.

This is more than a retreat - it’s a sacred, immersive pause to reconnect with your body, restore your energy, and step back into life radiant and renewed.

In a world constantly pulling at our attention, true rest has become almost foreign.😶‍🌫️

But rest is the very foundation of strength and resilience - the place where our body repairs, our mind clears, and our spirit returns home.

Join us for Renewal Retreat - a day to disconnect from your phone, reconnect with yourself, and remember what it means to simply be.

Sink into the rhythm of restoration:
✨ Savor vibrant, nourishing food made with care
✨ Experience the aromatic Aufguss sauna ritual to release tension
✨ Move gently and mindfully to awaken presence
✨ Ground through calming meditation and breath
✨ Melt into a deeply relaxing massage treatment

This is a special full-day experience designed to replenish your body, soften your mind, and remind you of the beauty of slowing down.

💆🏽‍♀️November doesn’t have to drain you - it can be your time to renew.

As we enter the pre-holiday season, the pace often quickens. Our minds fill with to-dos, our bodies hold tension, and our hearts forget what this time is truly about.

But what if this year we chose differently?

Instead of moving through the holidays from a place of depletion, let’s reconnect with the season’s true essence - its beauty, magic, and power to bring people together in love and presence.

Before we start giving ourselves outwardly, we’re invited to come home inwardly - to prepare our body, mind, and heart to both give and receive with Grace.

✨You are the foundation from which your outer world flourishes.

At The Yoga Garden Retreat, our one-day retreats are designed to nourish you in the way you need it most - to let the land soothe your senses, slow you down, and remind you of what truly matters.

As one of our guests shared: “I felt like I was transported to another world, filled with peace, positive healing energy, and the vibrancy of nature, bringing the body, mind, and spirit into alignment and soul nourishment.”

💫 Join us November 22nd for Renewal Retreat - a full day to restore, reconnect, and renew before the season unfolds.

✨In the Space Between Seasons ✨

As the year gently comes to a close, The Yoga Garden Retreat will be taking a sacred pause. This December will be a time for us to rest, reflect, and let new seeds of inspiration take root.

We’re feeling deep gratitude for all the souls who’ve practiced, breathed, and journeyed with us this year.

And as we slow down to dream and plan, we’d love to hear from you, as your voice helps shape what unfolds next.

What are your hopes and dreams for our 2026 offerings? What experiences would help you feel more connected, alive, and whole?

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is pause.🧎🏽‍♀️

Not quit.
Not push.
Just breathe.
Rest.
Listen.
And wait for your clarity to return.

We spend so much of our lives reaching, fixing, striving.

But real renewal doesn’t happen through effort. It happens in the spaces between - the moments when we allow life to move through us instead of trying to control its rhythm. 🌬️

When we pause long enough to simply be with our human experience - with the doubt in our mind, with that ache in our body, as well as with the beauty and pleasure held all around & within us - something shifts.

Energy clears.
The noise settles.
And what’s true quietly rises to the surface.

Let’s contemplate together: Clarity isn’t something to chase. It comes when we slow down enough to feel, to listen, and to connect with that still steady place in our heart.

Renewal isn’t about becoming someone new - it’s about coming Home to who you really are beneath the noise.

Coming up on Saturday November 22, we have a special spa-like retreat in store for those who are ready to press pause, slow down and breathe a little deeper.

There is nothing for you to learn, analyze, fix or figure out - this is a space for you to just be, to let go, to relax, to receive. 💆🏽‍♀️

Choose the sessions that most speak to you, enjoy plenty of free time, and maybe you add on optional 30-minute massage 🙌🏽

Bring a journal if you want, or just bring yourself, and let this question guide your day: What do I need to feel nourished and renewed?

Join us on Nov 22 with Dawne Tanner and Zofia Kumas to pause, slow down and re-claim your peaceful and joyful Self.

🍂 As October exhales her final golden breath, the trees stand in their honest bareness.

The leaves have fallen, the air sharpens, and the earth grows quiet, revealing what remains when all else is stripped away. November arrives as an invitation to meet yourself there: unmasked, grounded, and real.

At The Yoga Garden, this season is a gentle turning inward. A time to shed what’s no longer aligned and to root deeper into what nourishes your essence.

See below for our upcoming retreats. 👇🏽

💫November 2: Foundations of Self-Compassion

Sink into gentleness with Jennifer Innes and learn to meet yourself with the tenderness and understanding you’ve always offered others. This is your day for deep rest and inner care.

💫November 22: Renewal Retreat

Guided by Dawne Tanner of Soul Flow Healing, this day offers a space to release, realign, and nourish your whole being from the inside out - through yoga, breathwork, meditation, Aufguss sauna and veniks massage, additional one-on-one massage treatments, and more.

Join us in the stillness of November, where healing begins not in doing more, but in being more fully yourself.

A Feast for the Senses and Soul💫

This past Saturday at the Yoga Garden Retreat, we gathered in community to celebrate the art of plant-based nourishment. From roasted garlic basil pesto potatoes to BBQ-glazed mushrooms and pillowy pumpkin cookies with coconut whipped cream, every dish was a reminder that vegetarian food can be both deliciously satisfying and deeply healing.

For us, food is more than a meal, it’s medicine for Body, Mind, and Soul. Each bite is crafted with love, fresh garden herbs, and the intention to nourish from the inside out.🤤

✨Body, Mind and Soul nourishment awaits you at the Yoga Garden Retreat. ✨

Join us for our next Renewal Retreat on November 22nd, where you’ll get to taste this deliciousness first-hand while immersing in yoga, nature, and community connection.
