Comments from previous retreats:
“This was my first “retreat” and although i wasn’t sure what to expect all i can say is “wonderful.”
There was a good balance of indoor & outdoor activities and free time. The time flew by, I slept like a log and took a sense of peace and contentment home with me.”
“You create such a warm, safe space for everyone to learn and explore. I had virtually no yoga experience but felt very safe and accepted and comfortable. As a person who deals with chronic pain, I was looking forward to trying the fascia yoga and Hakomi. I can’t begin to describe the, almost immediate, physical, emotion and mental relief I felt.
It was absolutely the most healing and rejuvenating experience I’ve ever had! It was a complete mind/body experience that I crave to maintain.”
“The retreat was a wonderful balance of yoga, walking meditation, earthing and Hakomi which allowed us to focus inward and yet also provided time to share and make connections with other participants and with nature while gently being held in the womb of a very beautiful and sacred setting.”
“The yoga moves were very gentle and allowed the body to have time to settle into the pose, stretch and release with the aid of soft balls. These balls targeted tight spots on the body and we would hold the pose for at least ninety seconds thus allowing us to relax and release. Christine’s wisdom, knowledge and groundedness are outstanding and the best part is that she does this with ease and grace and makes it a whole lot of fun. Oh by the way her laugh is infectious too.”
“More than a yoga teacher, Christine is a guide who works with everyone wherever they are and takes them further into release and connection with self. Amazing! I can’t recommend this workshop enough. 100% enjoyed every moment.”
