Others who have participated in the past have commented that they thoroughly enjoy their time, both alone and with other participants, and leave feeling so nourished, energized and restored. As parents, we carry heavy mental and emotional loads and prioritizing time to refill our tanks is so important.

“I love going on the retreats; the yoga is next level, but also the way the space is held, the food, and the people who are drawn to go on them! I always return feeling deeply nurtured.” - Megan

“Mama Retreat is the perfect way to disengage from the daily demands of motherhood and enjoy a deeply peaceful weekend of yoga and quiet relaxation. Before I went for the first time I was apprehensive -- how would the yoga feel since I don't have a regular practice? Would the bunk room be awkward? Would the other women be intimidating? Then I arrived at the retreat and realized that all the women were absolutely lovely, I slept like an angel in the bunk room, and most importantly I felt so energized and restored by the yoga practice. I cannot recommend this highly enough. Thank you, Shana, for taking care of our mama community in such a meaningful and caring way. I can't wait to return for my third Mama Retreat!” - ​M​urielle
