I absolutely loved the time I had in May's Santosha Warrior retreat. Kathy is such a passionate, inspiring, kind, empathic and all around amazing human. It was an absolute pleasure to try all the different sessions from Power Pilates to Yin Yoga. Can’t wait to go again!

The experience
Only a short 45 minute drive out of the city will transport you to a little oasis nestled in the forest with a beautiful pond. You'll be greeted with a refreshing and delicious veggie juice to carry you into an intention-setting and welcome.
This will be followed by an energizing yoga flow that will strengthen and lengthen those muscles, while tapping into the mind-body connection. After a short break, prepare to sweat and tone as Carla takes you through a power pilates class targeting multiple muscle groups. Next comes some serious powerhouse nourishment with lunch and some mind-candy with a talk from Amanda from Lush Earth on Intuitive Eating.
Even warriors need to rest.
Now there is time for swimming in the pond (if weather allows and for the brave!), an infrared sauna, hike, or a siesta under a tree.
Fully nourished and rested, we go into a yin and restorative yoga practice that will take that heart rate down and give some serious loving to those well worked muscles. It's all tied together with a short meditation practice, while enjoying an aromatherapy savasana massage.
This brings your body, mind, soul all together, content, ready to take on the warmer months ahead.
