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.
