In the afternoon, you're invited to recharge your five senses - laugh, paint, dance, explore, and bond with other like-minded friends in the Flow Inspirations Workshops. By nightfall, you are guided to deeply relax with an evening yoga Nidra, preparing your mind and body for a good night's sleep.
Now visualize yourself post-retreat - glowing, empowered, and bursting with renewed excitement for life. You're filled with new inspirations, and insights, and feel confident with the useful tools you've learned to continue your wellness journey at home.
