WHAT TO EXPECT:

Start the new year with a deeply nourishing half-day retreat, offering a blend of mindful movement, breathwork, journaling, and relaxation to help you slow down, reflect, and set meaningful intentions for the year ahead. Whether you're looking to reset after a busy holiday season or simply want to take time to connect with your body after a break, this retreat offers a supportive space for inner renewal.

Schedule Overview:

  • 10:30 - 10:45 | Settle in and drink some tea :)
    We’ll begin with a gentle welcome. There won’t be any awkward ice breakers—just a simple, grounding opening circle to settle in and get comfortable.

  • 10:45 - 11:00 | Pranayama (Breathwork) and Myofascial Release
    We will begin with the ancient practice of pranayama, guiding you into a calm and connected state through conscious breathing. This will be followed by gentle myofascial release, helping to relieve neck and shoulder tension in the fascia

  • 11:00 - 11:30 | Soma Flow: Somatic Movement and Yoga Fusion
    Engage in a soothing blend of somatic movement and yoga. This slow, flowing practice encourages you to explore your body from the inside out, focusing on sensation and mindful movement rather than physical performance. Expect gentle, intuitive motions designed to relax the nervous system and foster a deep connection with your body.

  • 11:30 - 12:15 | Mindful Intention Setting and Reflective Journaling for the New Year
    Take time to privately pause and reflect through guided journaling prompts that explore themes of embodiment, presence, and new beginnings. In this session, you’ll have the opportunity to dive inward and set intentions for the year ahead. This can be about anything - it certainly does not have to be ballet related.

  • 12:30 - 13:15 | Yin Yoga
    Our retreat will close with a peaceful yin yoga practice. Using long-held, passive poses, you’ll sink into deep rest and relaxation. Soft blankets and cushions will ensure comfort. We may share some calming readings to guide you through this meditative journey.

Who is this for?
This half-day retreat is open to anyone seeking a quiet space for reflection and self-care, no prior yoga or journaling experience needed. It’s an opportunity to unwind, recharge, and prepare for the year ahead with intention.
