Finding Balance is about finding the middle ground between effort and ease. It’s about listening to our needs and deciding it is necessary to take a moment, or a day, to reflect and replenish so we can meet the challenges we face in our daily lives.
This retreat is about YOU and what YOU need to find that balance.
This opportunity will allow you to step out of your usual responsibilities so you can relax. Through gentle movement, a nourishing meal, time outdoors and a guided mindfulness practice, you will leave feeling renewed!
What’s included:

A morning yoga class (beginners welcome)
A full homemade meal with a guided Eating Awareness Practice
Plenty of time to relax outdoors – enjoy a swim in the pool or a stroll in nature
A deeply restorative and restful guided meditation, also known as Yoga Nidra

Do you long for space to breathe, reconnect, and restore?
Take a break from being productive and say “YES!” to a chance to rest and replenish at our Finding Balance Retreat.
This day is a chance to:

Step away from the constant “doing”
Rediscover what you need to feel grounded and whole
Connect—gently and authentically—with your body, your breath, and a like-hearted community

You’ll be supported through:

A morning yoga class (no experience needed)—slow, accessible movement to help you land in your body

A home-cooked meal and an Eating Awareness practice to awaken the mind-body connection and experience satisfaction in eating

Time outside in nature by the pool—swim, wander, journal, or just be

A guided Yoga Nidra meditation—deep rest for your body and nervous system

There will be space throughout the day to chat about topics like Intuitive Eating, nervous system regulation, self-compassion, getting restful sleep, and more — engage at a level that feels helpful to you.
Bring your bathing suit, your half-finished book, your journal—or come with nothing at all. Leave behind your to-do list and expectations.
This is your invitation to rest, receive, and remember that you matter, too.
