Holding Space: Yoga and Meditation Retreat

Are you ready to release that which is no longer serving you? To know yourself on a much deeper level? To step into your truth and begin living from that place of power every day? Join Heather for a transformational retreat experience at Stowel Lake Farm on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia.

Come into the essence of who you truly are by holding space for yourself on – and off – the mat!

• Understand and practice what it means to hold space for yourself
• Deepen your practices of asana, meditation, and pranayama with Flow, Yin, and Restorative yoga sessions
