At the end of every retreat, we sit in a closing circle.
I invite everyone to share something they’re taking home - a lesson, a shift, an intention.
After a weekend diving deep into the Yamas (yoga’s ethical guidelines), hands shot up as almost everyone had something meaningful to say:
✨ “I learned not to push. Sometimes choosing to do less is the braver choice.”
✨ “Moderation really landed for me - small, steady movements over time. Longevity over intensity.”
(This led to a beautiful story about the Japanese practice of tan-tan - doing things steadily, without drama or striving.)
✨ “I needed the reminder to choose kindness toward myself, not just toward others.”
✨ “To set my ego aside and make the right choices - even when no one’s watching.”
✨ “Not to ‘steal’ poses that aren’t meant for my body.”
✨ “I loved the connection and meeting new people… but I also appreciated the silence, and the permission to be alone when I needed it.”
✨ “Non-grasping really resonated. Letting go of bad habits, that's a tough one.”
✨ “I actually listened to my body this time… which meant skipping the 8am classes!”
(Yes - that one made us all laugh.)
If you’re looking for a retreat where you’ll perfect your poses… this isn’t it.
If you’re ready to explore centuries-old wisdom and discover how it applies to your life today - or more importantly, to reconnect with your own inner wisdom - then maybe it is.
These weekends aren’t about becoming someone new.
They’re about clearing the path so you can move forward - in your way, in your time.
If you couldn’t do the splits before you arrived, you probably won’t be able to when you leave.
But you might leave with a different question altogether:
Why did I want to do them in the first place? ✨
