Discover the Life-Changing Power of Retreats
The Unexpected Call to Yoga
I've had some of my most powerful breakthroughs during retreats over the past nine years. The first awakening? I wasn’t even expecting it. But it had a direct impact on my life. Honestly, I wouldn’t be here writing to you now if I hadn’t made that bold decision to put myself first.
Back then, I wasn't even a yogi and had little to no yoga experience. But in one of the darkest moments of my life, yoga called to me and transformed me.
Overcoming Fears and Embracing Change
Nine years ago, I attended my very first yoga retreat. It’s amazing how life comes full circle—now, nine years later, I’m hosting one for you! The universe really does work in mysterious ways, doesn’t it?
That first retreat was all about survival and pure intuition. I didn’t see myself as a “yogi” at all, so when I say it was survival, I mean it! Sure, I was interested in the human mind, spirituality, and personal development, but did I have a regular yoga practice? Not a chance!
At the time, I was going through some personal struggles. Life felt tough and rather bleak, and I was a bit lost, to be honest. Then the phone rang. It was “Yoga” calling.
I decided to go on the retreat, even though I was nervous. My monkey mind was in full spiral flow:
What type of people would I meet?
Would I fit in?
Would everyone be hardcore yogis?
Did I deserve to be there?
Could I leave my responsibilities at home without feeling guilty?
None of those fears won in the end. I went because I needed something. I didn’t know what it was, but I felt that yoga and this retreat would lead me to the answer…
The Profound Impact of Retreats
And it did. Yoga opened doors for me.
Honestly, I wouldn’t be here writing this to you if I hadn’t found the courage to go on that retreat. It changed my life in ways I couldn’t have imagined simply because I listened to my gut and committed to myself.
Since then, I’ve attended many transformational retreats, each one deeply profound. There’s a unique healing that happens when you step away from ordinary life and enter retreat life.
During a retreat, you have someone holding space for you, allowing you to feel safe. You get the chance to experience joy and healing without the usual responsibilities and fears of daily life. There’s a special kind of open-heartedness at retreats—a connection and silent agreement among participants that honors and supports the healing of your soul.
My first retreat opened a door, which opened another door, and another, and, well, you get the picture. It helped me connect with myself on a pure level, allowing me to feel what had become numb. I saw things more clearly and understood what it meant to walk my own path. I laughed in a way that felt so free and loved in a way that felt so full.
That’s what retreats are to me. That’s what I wish for you.
