What is calling to be transformed in your life?
Join Emily & Erin for 6 nights at Yandara Retreat Center near Todos Santos, Mexico to embark
on a journey to cultivate contemplative practices for holistic wellbeing. This immersive week
includes many modalities for tuning attention: vinyasa, yin, & restorative yoga, mindfulness
meditation, breathwork, and creative writing. Emily and Erin will facilitate enriching discussions
offering wisdom gleaned from the intersections of ancient wisdom and modern psychology.
Although yoga is a throughline, yoga is not the primary focus but one facet of many to support
showing up, looking inwardly & anchoring into wisdom. Daily workshops will offer a deep dive
into practical skills for learning how to embody meditation in action and cultivate the ordinary
magic of wellbeing. Together we will examine old patterns & habits and use this new awareness
to make positive shifts through simple, serviceable strategies to take home and weave into
everyday life. This retreat will be rooted in the quietude & peace of the nature we’ll be living
in—enjoy downtime to swim, wander the beach, take in the stars, and build new friendships with
peers.
Bring forth what is within you—join us for a nourishing week to explore how you are living & to cultivate & sharpen skills to enrich that living from the wisdom & courage that’s already inside!
