This was my first retreat and was truly a moving and humbling experience. We met so many wonderful and inspiring people. It was an opportunity to experience different styles of yoga, a five stars nutrition chef surrounded by a breathtaking view.

Curious? Check out the FAQ’s below: 
Do I have to do all the yoga?
We offer 2 classes per day and you are welcome to engage in as much or little as suits you. Every class offers different forms and aspects, so you might be tempted to join each to learn which ones speak to you. Do men attend?
Absolutely! I’m not a typical ‘retreat’ person, so I’m nervous it will be too ‘woo woo’ for me.
I’ll be honest, I was worried about that at my first retreat too, so we create a very open environment where you can make it what you want it to be. What else do we do besides yoga?
Hike. Hot tub. Get a massage. Sit by the bonfire. Shop. Work on a puzzle. Read a book. Eat chocolate. Sleep in. Get another massage. Have a glass of wine, if desired. Bliss out in a reiki session. Learn Tai Chi. Bid farewell to the setting sun and cheer the sun rising.Can I get my own private room?
Yes! Shared options are also available if you come with a friend.Will I be hungry?
Predominantly plant-based breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks are cooked fresh by me, your wellness chef. This isn’t meant to be a detox retreat, though every past participant has left feeling lighter and, more importantly, connected intuitively with the impact food has on their body. We don’t want anyone to go hungry so you can saunter into the kitchen anytime for a snack and, as an added bonus, you may find yourself in a private li’l cooking class.

EVERYDAY WELLNESS PROJECT

EWP is over, but join our new project: BITE-SIZED WELLNESS:

It’s digestible bits of wellness knowledge delivered when and where it’s best for you to view!

EVERYDAY WELLNESS PROJECT with Jennifer and Monique  

Wellness is a state of being healthy in the mind, body, and soul. But living a healthy life doesn’t happen in a vacuum. If you adopt an entirely new lifestyle tomorrow (think diets!), you can’t expect the world around you to automatically adapt to your “new” lifestyle. 

 

That’s why we created the EVERYDAY WELLNESS PROJECT. It’s a very simple monthly subscription service designed to give you an opportunity to learn about, and take steps towards, mindful modifications to your habits. The result is more lasting and long-term meaningful healthier living.

YES, SIGN ME UP!

Join anytime!

YOU’RE BUSY, UNMOTIVATED, IN A RUT- WE GET IT!

 

Has your health taken a backseat? This is a typical result when we find ourselves in these challenging times. It’s ok, we’ve all been experiencing varying levels of commitment to our health. The key is getting back on track. 

 

THESE ARE THE TIMES OUR BODY NEEDS US MOST

These are the times when it’s ultra important to keep our immune systems strong, to commit to a consistent routine, to keep a healthy mind and body, and to breathe deep. 

 

Skipping exercise & not being health conscious feels acceptable during stressful times. But once you start, it can easily lead into a month of this pattern! When you miss one session, it can lead to missing two, leading to missing three, six or a whole month of movement. The same happens with our food intake- how many times has one slip, one decision to eat something you know won’t make you feel great in the long run,ended up sabotaging an entire day?

 

COMFORT FOODS AND LETHARGY ARE TYPICAL UNINITIATED RESPONSES TO STRESS.

A global pandemic is a major contributor to stress.

Stress eating. Anxiety eating. Boredom eating. Crap-food is-easier-to-eat eating.

The more you eat this way, the more you will crave those foods. Then you’ll feel unmotivated and sluggish leading you to feel disappointed. Which then causes you to reach for those same foods again because the ‘why stop now’ or ‘I’ll start tomorrow’ talk kicks in. Thus the perpetual cycle ensues.

 

Being lethargic leads to lack of motivation to do the things that are good for our health, physically & mentally. 

 

IT’S TIME FOR A REJUVENATING BOOST WITH ‘LEGS’!

We needed a solution that could help us and our clients snap out of a rut. 

 

EVERYDAY WELLNESS isn’t about crazy diet schemes, month long water fasts or any other outrageous health craze. 

  • It’s about making daily choices towards our wellbeing, and calming the mind through simple breathwork to allow you to approach your day with more ease.
  • It’s about taking a break from some of the habits that may not be serving your best health.
  • It’s about shifting the focus to quality, wholesome food and thinking very intentionally about what we are eating and how we are living.
  • It’s about feeling more radiant and more at peace.

 

The best part is that this isn’t just a little reset. It’s an ongoing commitment to your long-term wellness. What you learn every week is knowledge you will use for a lifetime.

 

WE PRACTICE THIS ON OURSELVES!

We don’t believe in asking you to do things we wouldn’t do ourselves. We’ve made a commitment to focus on our health, as a result we consistently experience:

  • Boundless energy
  • Better digestion including less bloating
  • Better sleep
  • Glowing skin
  • Increased happiness
  • Stronger self awareness
  • Less aches and pains
  • Easier weight management

 

WHAT WILL YOU EXPERIENCE?

  • Food Freedom
  • Mindful Mindset 
  • Taller, leaner body
  • Increased flexibility
  • Ability to manage stress better
  • More balanced hormones
  • Ways to balance your blood sugar
  • <insert> what you want to experience here (you are going to be the creator!)

 

HOW DOES IT WORK?

When you sign up for our June subscription, you’ll receive an invite to join us in a private Facebook page, which will serve as your primary day-by-day contact and guide.

 

Expect reminders, tips and new concepts to keep you engaged and challenged on your health journey along with a deeper connection to your inner spiritual guide. Every week day we will post new videos that will help you learn new skills, understand how to calm your mind, practice a new yoga routine and have you exploring and cooking new foods.

 

SO YOU’LL GET ALL THIS:

 

  • Weekly kitchen demonstration videos
  • Weekly yoga
  • Weekly meditation videos
  • Daily week-day support and cheerleading from Jennifer and Monique, but also ongoing support from a tribe of like-minded individuals
  • Deeper understanding of how food, stress and anxiety affects your body, your mood and your mindset so you can make more informed choices
  • Healthy (pantry-friendly) recipes 
  • Pantry stocking guides
  • Grocery buying tips
  • Access to our private Facebook page
  • Discounts to our classes, events and retreats!

 

YOU ARE YOUR #1

 

Putting work, kids, spouses, friends, television watching and virtual happy hours before you sets the tone that you aren’t important. The challenge is balancing it all. We understand because we’ve been there. 

 

But we also want you to know that improving your health is doable. And it gets easier the more you focus on it. And everything else will settle around that and find its place. You’ll actually feel the difference in everything from time management to your ability to confront stress to your confidence level to how your clothes fit.

 

ALL THAT’S LEFT TO DO IS REGISTER
