"Soul & Savor" blends the wisdom of yoga with the art of mindful eating, creating space to reconnect with your body, mind, and spirit.Over four transformative days, Michelle and Sommer will guide you through a combination of invigorating and restorative yoga practices, insightful workshops on mindful eating, and nature-infused activities designed to awaken your senses and deepen your appreciation for the present moment. Leave with tools to foster a more balanced relationship with food, cultivate inner peace, and savor life in every bite.“…The setting was absolutely magical…The Yoga was great. My practice was deepened just by signing up. At the retreat I was challenged and felt ‘accomplished’ at the end of each session...”~ J.V., Hastings-on-Hudson, NY“I love the Menla environment and feel it is truly a special place. The retreat schedule was great – a good mix of instructors and classes. And a good group of people just topped it off.
