Join us and discover the power of yoga for life! You deserve it, and your loved ones will also benefit.

I have found the perfect venue for the 2023 annual women’s retreat! It is in Puerto Rico, which is a 3-hour and 45-minute flight from New York City and is only a 10-minute drive from San Juan airport. We will be taking over the whole hotel which is absolutely beautiful and makes for a much richer and more fun experience. The venue is a beautiful boutique hotel called Dreamcatcher. There are only 18 rooms and so will sell out quickly. There are plenty of double rooms and even a triple and a quad! The hotel is located 200 steps from the beach. I am excited about branching out and hope you are as well. I have rented a gorgeous yoga studio so there is no need to bring your own props unless you are attached to them. The prices below include accommodation, 3 meals a day (except one night where we can explore some local flavor), taxes, and 3 hours of yoga a day. It is a BYOB situation for those that would like to partake in a drink or two. San Juan is also at your fingertips if you would like to explore, shop, dine, or drink. Maureen is taking care of the logistics and can answer any questions that you may have. I wouldn’t hesitate signing up if you are wanting to come because of the limited space. I hope that you have had a great summer and we hope to see you on the beach in Puerto Rico!  ❤️ Love, Colleen

Join me in January for a 2-night women’s retreat at The Dutchess, a stunning 236 acre property in The Hudson Valley! There are 2.5 miles of trails, buildings dating back to the mid 1700’s, and a spa. Chef Mark will be preparing locally sourced meals for our gourmet experience, all of which are included in the retreat package. A full itinerary will be emailed before your stay.

This retreat will focus on yoga for grounding, connection and calm during a time of confusion and insecurity. Women are welcome of all levels of yoga experience from beginner to advanced. We will use pranayama, asana, meditation, conversation, journaling, laughing, self study and plenty of nature to cut through layers of fear and isolation that we all experience. There is no denying the power of a group of women. We need each other. We are stronger together.

Return home grounded and relaxed, and ready to move forward with love and confidence.

Our tropical surf and yoga adventure is at an intimate beachfront hotel located in Santa Teresa, a breathtaking white sand beach on the Pacific Ocean of Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula Blue Zone. Situated on four acres of unspoiled tropical beach, you will find beautiful swimming areas and also outcroppings of rock where natural tide pools form. One of the best things about staying at Tropico Latino is the beachfront access. Whether you’re a surfer, swimmer, beach walker, or all of the above, you’ll find the hotel perfectly located. Christopher Golden and Stacy Haessler are good friends who met during a Yoga Shanti teacher training many years ago. They both love the space of retreat as a way to dive into yoga and completely relax.

For our 2024 women’s retreat in the Caribbean, we have secured a gorgeous hotel called Sanara in Tulum, Mexico. Our retreat group will take over the entire hotel, which has 18 rooms. This will be an intimate at a high-end boutique hotel right on the beach, and each of us will have a reserved beach bed for the week! The restaurant is rated as one of the best, and the yoga shala is exquisite. Spa treatments are also plentiful – here is a sampling.
