During our retreat in Desert Hot Springs, you’ll immerse yourself in a journey of deep relaxation, endurance and rejuvenation, with a little bit of adventure!

Morning & evening yoga classes with Jennifer Goodman will transform your yoga practice. As a former ballet dancer, Jennifer brings her dance passion into morning classes with a challenging, creative and fluid approach that focuses on flexibility, strength, balance, and moving with the breath. Every class is unique as she combines a wide variety of techniques to challenge the mind and body and create a balanced and transformational experience within.

Evening classes vary between restorative, yin, yoga nidra, and sound baths. 

 Meals prepared by Monique Costello are masterpieces in functional wellness with a focus on maintaining and improving your ability to function well in all aspects of life (physical, mental, social, spiritual and gut health.) 

You’ll indulge in nutrient-rich meals and snacks designed to nourish your body from within.

Stunningly delicious, fresh and wholesome meal buffets boast a plethora of choices.

Meals are primarily plant-based; made-to-order eggs are available in the morning and seafood options are on the dinner menus.  

Between meals and yoga will be time for optional hikes and walks, soaking in the mineral pools, and free time to be spent however you are called to. 

*There will be a massage therapist onsite along with Reiki sessions offered by Monique- both for an additional cost

This is more than a retreat—it’s an escape to a sanctuary where you can reconnect with your true self, recharge your spirit, and find harmony in both mind and body.

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 but solo rooms are limited so you’ll want to set a deposit on these asap! 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.

Selfish Wellness

Selfish Wellness Program

The 21-day SELFISH Wellness Program

‘Put your oxygen mask on first’
‘You can’t fill from an empty cup’
You’ve likely heard these motivating phrases previously- did you act on them? If you did, it meant you were being selfish. Congratulate yourself!
.
Being SELFISH is a good thing!  It’s about the importance of being self intuitive, self sufficient and self happy through self care lifestyle practices. Bottom line? It means you take care you first, leaving you strong enough, resilient enough and with enough energy  for all the rest.
.
Being SELFISH isn’t just about treating yourself with dark chocolate, locking the door to take a bubble bath or binge watching 12 hours of your favorite new show…. (note: we don’t condone doing these from time to time, especially if that’s what brings you JOY!)
.
But you also have a choice to create a life you DON’T NEED TO ESCAPE FROM.
.

Enter the SELFISH Wellness program.

This program is focused on discovering your inner power to help you find balance, stop saying should’ve/would’ve/could’ve and to feel more than you’ve felt since … ??
We do this through nutrient-dense food,  thought provoking exercises, mouthwatering recipes, solutions for dealing with those who aren’t on your path, private facebook group with weekly interactive live kick off calls and check-ins, recipe demos, mini-meditations, simple & soothing stretch workouts, fun self-care challenges and more!
.
Plus, one of the greatest benefits comes from the power of the community participating in the program alongside you.
.

Self-care isn’t one size fits all. And healthy isn’t a size.

.

Each of us are working through our own challenges. We’re all different with where we are on our path. So there’s flexibility in this program to control how lightly or deeply you engage.  It’s stress free and we’ll be there every step of the way.

.
It’s estimated that it takes a minimum of 21 days to form a new habit. Be SELFISH and prioritize yourself to commit to the SELFISH 21-day Wellness Program with us for a stronger immune system, a more powerful digestive system, cleaner skin, deeper sleep, eliminate cravings, lower toxic load, reduce weight and gain tools to manage your selfcare your way.
.
The Sedona retreat exceeded my expectations on every level.  Monique and Jennifer are experts in their fields and they gently, lovingly and enthusiastically led us for 5 days.  Our time was laid-back but purposeful – each day nurturing us with yoga, hiking, relaxation and dining on the most spectacula plant-based meals.  Monique is so welcoming in the kitchen, there can be an element of culinary education if you want it.  The combination of twice daily yoga, experiencing beautiful Sedona, and eating the healthiest of food truly had a restorative effect on my body…and it was these wise and wonderful teachers who had a transformative effect on my heart and soul.
Peggya  2022 retreat participant
