I'm beyond excited to invite you for a joyful deepening into Patañjali yoga sūtras at our new location in Long Beach. Our new location is the perfect space to immerse in Svādhyāya - self-study, with Rachel's devoted guidance, the backdrop of nature to hold us, nourishing meals, and like-minded company you'll feel fully supported to dive deep into the teachings and into yourself.

Testimonial
" Thank you for a beautiful retreat, Rachel.
I loved the focus on mantra, and chanting and it was very special to sit in a circle with beautiful women. Really needed to re-connect with the essence of yoga. I feel exactly like the title of the retreat - whole and filled with so much more love."
