Retreat Love

I was ready for this. I felt tense and uneasy and at a crossroads before the retreat.
Now, I feel relaxed, decisive, and on level ground again.
The organization was on point even in the craziest times of the pandemic.

This week, I enjoyed yoga for all the right reasons-community, connection, challenge, relaxation, mental health, and restoration. I am proud to have reframed what yoga is in my brain. It has a new definition for me--I have this retreat to thank for that!

The staff at the retreat center, Vida Asana were very accommodating.
Prior to coming to this retreat, I felt stressed and emotionally frustrated.
Now, I'm relaxed, happy, and excited about continuing my art and yoga practice.
