What prior students had to say about this Reiki Yoga Retreat:
Reiki Gentle Yoga Retreat
“This is my third year, beginning with April’s Reiki Yoga Retreat, and I can’t imagine welcoming the new year any other way. Each class feels deeply supportive and intuitively guided. I felt the weight of the past year gently fall away as my body opened, released, and healed. Through mindful yoga, Reiki attunements, and a deeply peaceful gong session, old tension and stagnant energy dissolved, leaving me grounded, renewed, and aligned. The thoughtful materials and intention-setting practices continue to guide me forward with clarity, gratitude, and trust in what’s ahead.” - Dana L
