What if anything and everything is possible and only as limited as your ability to dream?
The problem?
We are discouraged from dreaming big. We are told our dream is impractical, unrealistic, audacious, even. So we assume dreaming big is for someone else. We give up, despite the fact that it is within our reach.
What if you could allow yourself to imagine what is possible? What if you could envision your life evolving in whatever way you desire, large or small?
New to dreaming like this?
Every great invention started in the imagination of someone who dared to dream it.
Every breakthrough was born from a place of possibility.
In this weekend workshop, we use the yoga mat as a laboratory to gather evidence of what is possible. In your poses, you will learn to disobey your habitual response of “I can’t do this” when things get hard. You will create a new habit--celebrating what you can do! Nothing is too small.
What to expect:
Classes will include meditation, breath work, abdominal work, vinyasa, long-held standing poses and therapy ball work. This retreat is mainly yoga asana and is open to students that are willing to be challenged on and off the mat.

“The experience I’ve had as a volunteer here at Menla has been a unique one. I had recently experienced the loss of a number of friends, and of my father, before coming up for a retreat, and then coming back as a volunteer. Not only was the work I did up in these gorgeous mountains an amazingly cathartic experience, but the support I received from the community that exists here was unlike anything I had previously experienced.”

“Nicole’s KuNye massage was transformational. She released several tight muscle and joint areas with targeted and deep pressure and massage. I felt more flexible and incredibly relaxed. The Dewa Spa facility itself is beautiful, peaceful and extremely relaxing.”

I just returned from an over-night stay at the Menia Retreat Center. During that time, I was very fortunate to have had four services at the beautiful Dewa Spa.All of them were amazing, but I really have to take a few minutes to write about Sarite Sanders who did Craniosacral Therapy and Nicole Bernhardt who provided Extended KuNye Massage.
Both of these women are gifted practitioners who clearly are dedicated to their healing modalities. Sarite is not just a healer but a teacher–a very powerful combination for a true wellness practitioner. She even suggested movement exercises that I could do at home to help with an old injury–one I had not told her about, but that she “felt” as she worked on my body. Both of these women took time to explain what and why they were doing certain things and thus were able to create a very safe environment for healing. Thank you for a truly lovely experience.
