A Women’s Yoga Retreat to Connect to Your Inner Power and Live in Alignment with Your Truth

SOLD OUT - join waitlist

Have you ever felt like there’s something more calling you, something deeper, and truer to who you are but you don’t quite know what that is? Maybe you've been following the path you thought you "should" be on, ticking off the boxes society says lead to success. But deep down, there’s a voice inside, a whisper of wisdom, urging you to listen, to follow it, and to invite more joy, play, and purpose into your life.

This kind of pleasure isn’t about indulgence or fleeting satisfaction, rather, it’s about reconnecting to what lights you up, what makes you feel fully alive, and what aligns with your true self. You’re not alone in yearning for more than just satisfaction, seeking instead the kind of fulfillment that feels authentic and meaningful.

“Authenticity is the daily practice of letting go of who we think we’re supposed to be and embracing who we are.” – Brené Brown

Deep within you is a knowing that can never be silenced - the voice of a woman who knows exactly what she wants, who trusts her instincts, and courageously follows her desires without being swayed by limiting beliefs. This untamed intuition has never left you; it has quietly waited for you to remember and live from this powerful place within, a place that holds the courage to dream, the wisdom to trust, and a yearning for both safety and freedom. Our lights cannot be dimmed by others; they are only blocked when we abandon ourselves and forget to believe in our personal power.

Yet the demands of daily life pull you in a million different directions, making it easy to lose touch with that deeper part of yourself—the part that wants more than just getting by. You might feel stuck, like your routines, career, or relationships no longer match the woman you know you’re becoming. Maybe you’ve even asked yourself, 'Why do I still feel unfulfilled when I have what I thought I wanted?' That voice inside you, that dreams and fantasizes about change, isn’t here to threaten you. It’s here to guide you toward what could truly light you up and make you feel alive.

“It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing”

- Oriah mountain dreamer

This is your call back to the wild. A yoga retreat that allows you to step outside of your usual context to access the freedom necessary for creativity, insight, and desire to emerge. A space to openly explore, “What do I truly want?” and to receive the answer with clarity and courage. All while being surrounded by fellow women encouraging each other’s ascent and can remind you of your power when you forget.

The pricing for this retreat has been thoughtfully designed to be all-inclusive. From the moment you sign up, you won’t need to worry about a thing—other than booking your flight. Leave the rest to me!

To reserve your spot, you can choose to pay in full or opt for a payment plan to make this experience more accessible. With the payment plan, you can pay in monthly increments, with the total amount due by July 16, 2025 (two weeks before the retreat starts). Set up payment plan here.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out! I’d be happy to set up a time to chat—no pressure to join. I love discussing all things wellness and hearing what’s calling to you. But if even a small part of you feels drawn to this experience, trust that your future self will thank you!

Hi, I’m Taylor 👋

For the past five years, I've been blending sound, movement, mindfulness, and embodiment to create transformative experiences. My work is grounded in the healing power of community, where coming together fosters inner exploration, self-discovery, and authentic connection. I host monthly community sound baths, offer 1:1 mindfulness coaching, and lead workshops focused on nervous system regulation and restoration.

Nature, Eastern philosophy, and somatic methodologies are my greatest teachers, and their wisdom shapes my integrative approach. I bring over 500 hours of training in vinyasa, hatha, restorative yoga, and sound ceremony, alongside my studies as a Master’s student in Somatic Psychology. My style is playful, warm, and nurturing, creating a space where your mind, body, and spirit can rest and feel at ease.

The alpine landscape is my safe haven. When I decided to bring this community international, I knew I wanted us to gather in places where mother nature is the main event and your whole body can exhale the second you arrive. Going on retreat has been a transformational part of my journey and I cannot wait to share this gift with you. You deserve rest and to be showered with care. I’ll see you in the woods!

With love always,

Taylor
