I came to this retreat not knowing what to expect. I had never even tried an arm balance or inversion pose before and did not know if I would be completely out of place on this retreat.

It was amazing!

The entire group was supportive of each other and pushed each other to reach personal bests. Nat is an exceptional teacher. She breaks down each movement and communicates clearly. It was inspiring to witness advanced students (some of whom were also teachers!) push themselves — and for someone like myself — I did get into a headstand (assisted and for only a couple seconds) and crow pose! And I did not think I could even try to do either when I started the week. I am so happy to have homework that I can continue at home to keep pushing my practice with confidence.

Outside of the yoga classes and workshops — Gary is great coach — his classes were challenging and his positive energy is absolutely contagious. I can still hear his voice: You can do it!! Good resting!! His Nidra classes would send you through different dimensions (I will definitely be downloading some recordings).
The excursions and personal development/sharing circles were intentionally curated and the thought and care that was put into every activity was very obvious. I am so happy to have made connections with new souls and friendships that will be for a lifetime!
