YOGA RETREAT ~ It’s easy to feel disconnected from our history. Modern life doesn't give us much space to carry our lineages with us, or to draw strength from the people who came before us. If you’ve been feeling a pull to look back and reconnect, join us for Satya Jehman's Yoga Retreat - Sacred Roots: Ancestral Healing Through Yoga, Breath & Ceremony (Sept 28 - Oct 2, 2026) at Hollyhock.

The timing is deliberate. It takes place during the Harvest Full Moon and Pitru Paksha—the traditional yogic season for remembering and honouring our lineages.

What the days look like:
This is a grounded, physical practice aimed at noticing and releasing the old patterns we carry in our bodies. Over five days, we'll share:
• Traditional yoga, breathwork, mantras, and mudras
• Fire and water ceremonies, and building personal altars
• Writing, making art, and quiet time in nature to process it all

Satya teaches with a rare depth of cultural knowledge and respect. Past participants often mention feeling a profound sense of peace and a renewed relationship with their families afterward.

If you want to spend a few days tracing your roots and resting in the wisdom of your bloodline, registration is open. 👉 https://hubs.li/Q04hRftn0

Being part of the Soft & Sacred Retreat last weekend was a rare gift.💗 To gather in a space where every facilitator was rooted in the lineage of what they were sharing - and to experience those ancestral offerings firsthand - was deeply powerful, heartfelt, and inspiring.

There is a presence in these spaces that feels both incredibly rare and deeply needed. The Reverie curated a gathering that clearly impacted everyone in the room. Participants were engaged, open, and genuinely moved by the practices and retreat experience. The offerings reflected the diversity within the space and beautifully complemented one another, including the layered and multifaceted study that is yoga.

I left feeling deeply grateful. Soft & Sacred is a must-attend for anyone seeking authentic wellness practice rooted in lineage, lived experience, and embodied wisdom.

Much gratitude to everyone who came together to co-create this wonderful weekend! 🙏😊💕

*Next Soft & Sacred Retreat: Oct. 3 - 4, 2026 at The Reverie. Registration now open.

For the first couple of decades of my life, I learned to swallow my truth.

Like many women, I learned to make myself smaller to keep the peace. I stayed quiet around what hurt, and carried grief, anger, intuition, and knowing - silently inside my body.

That silence became exhausting, because so much of me had no space to breathe or come alive.

Over time, something began to shift. A deeper pull toward truth led me to step away from patriarchal systems and begin forging my own path through the study of yoga, practice, and self-inquiry. Over the years, this unfolded into a lived commitment to support and empower women and female adolescents - carrying me across five continents in my 20s - in service, learning, and practice.

And still, I continue to uncover subtler layers of blocked expression carried through my matrilineal line. This remains part of my practice too: clearing what was silenced, within myself and for the next generations.

I see how deeply this lives in so many of us - especially women shaped by silence, family systems, ancestral trauma, and systemic patriarchy.

Speaking truth is about alignment: between what we know inside and how we live, relate, and communicate in daily life.

--> On next weekend’s Full Moon, we will gather in ceremony with mantra, breath, and fire ritual devoted to Vāc (the Yogic/Vedic deity of self-expression). Our gathering will support the release of what has been held in the throat, and a return to clearer, more authentic expression.

If something in you is ready to be spoken, come sit with us at the fire.

I ran away from my lineage when I was 16. Years later, after a major accident that forced me to learn how to walk again, I found myself slowly returning.

Through yoga, grief, ritual, pilgrimage, and practice, I rebuilt a relationship with what I had once rejected.

This piece is a reflection on lineage, ancestors, belonging, and the support that becomes possible when we stop carrying life alone.

*Read my full story below. I would love to hear your feedback.💗

Every lineage holds both wounding and wisdom. To turn toward it is to meet it honestly, to see what has been carried forward and to decide what continues through you.

💗🤎🖤 LAST CALL!
--> During next weekend's intimate new moon spring retreat, you’ll be guided through a slow, spacious arc of healing designed for integration:

- Gentle trauma-informed movement
- Sacred sound and mantra
- Ayurvedic ritual
- Qigong
- Closing integrative fire ceremony
- Optional 1:1 sessions for deeper support

What makes this gathering especially meaningful is who is being centred. This retreat uplifts Black, Indigenous, and facilitators of colour - teachers rooted in the lineages they share - offering practices in a way that honours both source and lived experience.

You’ll leave not only restored, but with embodied tools you can carry into your daily life to support your body, voice, and nervous system.

This is a rare opportunity to engage in wellness more consciously, and to take part in a space actively working toward greater cultural integrity, relational awareness, and reciprocity in how healing is shared.
