What an OMazing yoga retreat last weekend with such incredible women, at the Nurturing Nest in Desert Hot Springs, CA. I am so grateful to have led this experience, to have seen it grow from the seed of an idea, through the creative process of making it happen, to the final package of putting it all together. I loved leading the ladies through yoga with the gorgeous San Jacinto mountains in the background, and the desert sun kissing our skin. Add to all of this the detoxifying effects of environmental heat and dryness, plus the alkalizing and therapeutic effects of the natural hot spring... the weekend was healing, to say the least. Delicious, organic and vegetarian food was a key part of the holistic experience, too; thank you to Allison Wooten for executing an excellent menu of nutritional and grounding, whole foods. All of the women on retreat last weekend relaxed, slowed down, soaked in water and basked in the sun, went inward, practiced asana, pranayam and meditation, and enjoyed the leisurely time being solo, connecting with others, reading, writing, exploring new ideas and planting seeds of their own. My first yoga retreat was a beautiful success; I am humbled and thankful for all the women who participated, and I am so inspired to lead more in the future, in California and beyond. Feel free to comment below and suggest a place where you would like to retreat! If you are looking for a break from the daily grind of life, to focus on Self, your health and well being, then a Yoga retreat is a great opportunity to do so. It can help to create balance in life, by helping you to nurture yourself so that you can then give back to the world with even more. Cycle, repeat. Cheers to this sacred practice and way of living, Mother Nature, travel, healing, and self-love. <3
