The Yoga of Rest: Restoring the Vitality, Balance, and Peace Within
With Julia Abramova
October 9 - 12, 2025
RETREAT BY INVITED PRESENTER
In a fast-moving world, we often forget to listen to our bodies, our energy, and our spirit. When we ignore the body’s quiet calls to slow down, we disrupt the delicate rhythm of our hormonal systems, affecting everything from energy and mood to sleep, focus, and emotional resilience.
This deeply nourishing retreat is a sanctuary for those feeling burned out, fatigued, or disconnected from their natural vitality. Whether navigating chronic stress, hormonal imbalance, or simply craving deep rest, this experience offers a powerful reset, inviting you back into alignment, balance, and ease.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Join us for a rejuvenating retreat designed to restore your vitality, balance your hormones, and reconnect you with your body’s natural rhythms. Blending restorative practices with accessible teachings on how stress and hormone imbalances impact your wellbeing, each day is thoughtfully curated to guide you into deeper rest, recharge your energy, and help restore balance from within. You’ll leave feeling refreshed, restored, and reconnected to your most vital self.
