Imagine: Springtime in the Green Mountains

You wake up, ease into a sun drenched kitchen for tea, and make your way over to the barn for the first yoga class of the day. Your senses are enveloped in the fresh scent of the budding flowers, wet earth, and the sounds of joyful birds and the light hum of the wind.

You have no emails to check. No calls to make. No messes to clean.

Only time to spend on your mat, with your community, in nature.

NOW LIVE IT: Join me in Vermont for a transformative weekend!

The fundamental point of this retreat is not to chase self help - it’s time designed to help you step away and remember who you are.

I myself have been on several yoga retreats over the years and I’m always profoundly touched by the experience. When I was trying to define the common thread between all of my trips and time spent away to be dedicated to my practice - I realized a theme among all of them that truly made the time worth it was when the outside noise drops, I start to hear myself.

That voice inside of my heart that was drowned out remembers how to roar. When we retreat, we focus inward - using tools in the yoga toolkit and the science of wellness to help reset.

Now, I am taking all of the lessons I’ve learned over the years - and I am offering them to you.

Retreat Programming: 

YOGA: Asana, Mindfulness, Sangha.

  • Enjoy 6 total 75/90 minute yoga classes and wellness workshops.

    • A blend of yoga offerings will be available, such as active sunrise vinyasa, deep rest (yin yoga), asana labs (arm balances; binds) and more.

  • Mindfulness will be built into the entire experience - allowing you to nourish the part of you that has been begging for you to exist in the moment, go deeper internally, and cut through noise and distractions that cloud our every day life.

    • Unplug, unwind, go deeper into your yoga practice and learn how to take yoga off the mat and with you into the world.

    • Connect with the beautiful nature on the grounds of Wild Sugar Homestead or in the town of Newbury, VT and beyond.

  • Meet like-minded yogis from different walks of life, experiences, and backgrounds.

    • Come alone and make lasting friendships, or bring your friends/family and deepen your bonds during this dedicated time together in sangha.
