One-Day Yoga Retreats

Step away from the rush of daily life and gift yourself a day of deep rest, reflection, and renewal. 

Our one-day retreats are designed to meet you exactly where you are — whether you’re craving stillness, needing release, or simply longing for time to reconnect with yourself.

Each retreat is woven with the seasons, guiding you to move in harmony with nature’s rhythms. Through grounding yoga, restorative breathwork, Reiki, sound therapy, and creative practices, you’ll be invited to let go of what feels heavy and root into what truly nourishes your spirit.

We keep these gatherings intimate and heart-centered, so every participant feels held in community while also having space for personal reflection. Gentle movement, journaling, nourishing meals, and deep rest experiences create a sanctuary where your nervous system can reset and your soul can breathe.

You’ll leave not only lighter in body and mind, but also carrying tools, insights, and renewed energy that ripple into your everyday life. This is more than a yoga day — it’s a chance to pause, reset, and remember yourself.
