Narayani: Returning to Your Inner Power

This retreat is an invitation to step out of the familiar rhythms of daily life and into a spacious container of sincere, unhurried practice, rest, and inward listening.

​

For six days and five nights, we will gather at the  Santani Wellness - a place intentionally designed to support deep nourishment of body, mind, and nervous system. In its natural setting, we will tend to what often gets overlooked in everyday life: our capacity to listen, to soften, and to be with ourselves without distraction.

​

This year’s retreat is inspired by Narayani - a sacred name of the Divine Feminine in the yogic tradition. Narayani represents the sustaining power, wisdom, and compassionate strength that lives both in the universe and within each of us.

​

In the ancient texts, she is praised as the presence of power in all beings - the resilience that carries us through challenges, the clarity of discernment, and the devotion of the heart.

​

We will explore her not as something outside of us, but as a living presence within.

​

Through daily asana, meditation, and pranayama, alongside mantra, chanting, and kirtan - with harmonium woven throughout our days - we will create space to reconnect with that quiet inner current of strength. Not power as force or striving, but power as steadiness. As alignment. As trust in one’s inner knowing.

​

I will guide our days drawing from years of self-study, as well as  study with some of the most authentic teachers, dedicated self-practice, and teaching within the yogic tradition, with devotion (Bhakti) at its heart - weaving movement, breath, sound, storytelling, and stillness into our  daily practice.

​

This retreat is not about becoming someone new & improved. It is about remembering the strength, grace, and clarity that are already yours.
