Post-retreat feels

yoga retreat spain menorca

Sitting in gratitude for the past week that was spent surrounded in love, appreciation, enthusiasm, connection and sisterhood. Every retreat group brings something so special to the experience and this retreat was no exception. Not only did I feel so honored to hold space for these 12 incredible women, and humbled by their investment in themselves and trust in me… I also am feeling so loved, supported and held by these women.

It was a true reflection of the past 7.5 years of hosting retreats. This was my 35th retreat and I’m still constantly learning and growing. It’s a lot of hard work and sometimes I wonder what the heck I’ve gotten myself into… haha… but every time I arrive on retreat, I have an immense sense of knowing I’m exactly where I’m meant to be. It truly is my happy place. I find so much confidence in my purpose in bringing people together in community and friendship and teaching people that it is safe to create time to nourish yourself. That we are all worthy of being cared for and nurtured by others. We are deserving of community and we thrive when we learn to accept love from like-minded women and remain open to unsuspecting friendships. 

Looking forward to sharing more incredible retreat experiences over the next year in Spain, Morocco, Italy and Portugal!

Before embarking on our travels, we study up on the destination country by familiarizing ourselves with the proper clothing attire, learning a few words of the language, finding out about popular dishes, and highlighting the most famous sightseeing spots in our guidebook. However, no matter how much we learn on google, pin on Pinterest, or ask questions to others who have traveled to the country, it is inevitable that we will stand out as a tourist once we have arrived. After living in Spain for a year and a half, I have accepted the fact that I am still “an Americana living in Spain”. I am guilty of making each and every one of these mistakes and have been called out by the locals (my friends and family). With that said, I feel I am an expert on “How to Stand out as a Tourist in Spain”. Continue reading
