Jen Fisher, E-RYT 500, RCYT, YACEP™
Meet Jen. Mom, teacher, dog lover, adventure seekerl, friend. Jen grew up as a dancer and swimmer and was always active, spending lots of time outdoors, a child of the 70’s with freedom to roam her small Pennsylvania town and curfew at sundown. She attended The Pennsylvania State University with a degree in hospitality management (which has come full circle in retreat planning!) , graduated in 1995 and has called Raleigh, NC home ever since.
Jen became a mom in 2003, the same year her mother was diagnosed with stage 3-C ovarian cancer. She had been taking yoga classes in Raleigh here and there, but found refuge and peace in the practice as she juggled taking care of her sick mother and nursing and caring for her newborn daughter. By 2005, Jen was practicing normally with her second daughter in her belly and was fully in love with yoga. When her daughters Sofia and Eliana were 3 and 5 years old, she began looking for kids yoga classes for them and came up empty. So she decided to become a teacher herself. She is a registered children's yoga teacher (RCYT) and also has created Little Guru Kids Yoga and Creative Arts, bringing yoga and art to the children of Raleigh.
After 5 years of teaching children, In 2010, she began her journey to teach yoga to adults. She completed her 200 hour with a local affiliate of Shiva Rea’s Samudra School and went on to finish up her 500 hour with Shiva, traveling around the country to experience different studios and modules and yogis in the program.
With a degree in hospitality, combining her love of travel, yoga and her knowledge of the industry, Jen began planning and hosting retreats in 2011. She has led over 20 retreats in North Carolina, Mexico, Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic. Jen’s retreats are always special, not just because of her planning and attention to detail, but because of the amazing souls that end up gathering and bonding over the fact that we are all one.
Jen currently teaches yoga in Raleigh, NC. Her yoga classes in Raleigh are held at 1104 West Cabarrus Street and Oak City Yoga. She also has a You Tube channel with many different offerings.
Jen continues to draw inspiration from her two most inspiring gurus, her daughters Sofia and Eliana. Life would not be complete without their glowing spirits.

this retreat is a slice of italian heaven all for you to absorb and digest.
Praiano is a small town perched on the rocky cliffs of the celebrated Amalfi Coast that offers vistas of unparalleled beauty and a leisurely pace of life. The quiet fishing village of Praiano is packed with sleepy charm and local flavor that can sometimes be hard to find along the well-beaten path of the Amalfi Coast. Praiano is a town of locals, and when you go out to eat, you’ll actually hear Italian being spoken at the tables next to you.
Our home for the week will be an amazing hotel in the beautiful town of Praiano.
ALL ROOMS THIS RETREAT ARE SEA VIEW WITH PRIVATE BALCONIES!
The hotel boasts a wonderful terrace with a panoramic view and swimming pool. Their veranda restaurant is surrounded by the intense colors of the hills and the sea. From the pool, there are incredible views of the ocean, the coast and the islands of Li Galli.
With plenty of sun loungers, citrus trees, and a short walk to the beach, our home for the week will make you want to stay much longer. All rooms have a balcony overlooking the ocean and classic Amalfi décor, traditional furniture and majolica tiles.
Praiano is one of the favored towns on the Amalfi coast for it's location and proximity to the more popular tourist-destinations of Positano and Amalfi, but without the bustling crowds. Flanked on both ends by some of the coast's most amazing coves, this town is the perfect place to retreat!
Our day trips will allow us to experience the many unique landscapes and activities that this area has to offer. We will begin our week in the town of Amalfi with a tour of a family-run lemon farm with some tastings of this star flavor of the region, as well as time to explore the sites of the town. Our week will include opportunities to not only learn about but also to try our hand at making some sumptuous bites - from a a pizza making class and an amazing “gastrotrekking” experience where we’ll walk and explore the villages above the cliffs for this includes a guided foraging walk to gather our ingredients before a cooking class and lunch. One day will include a private boat ride to Positano where we can have free time to explore this famous seaside town, and then our boat ride back where we’ll make some stops for swims in hidden bays and even visit some grottos on the side of the breathtaking cliffs. Our week will include a way to unwind with massage treatments, free time for a beach visit or just relaxing by the pool and a winery visit and tasting dinner.
Healthful, vegetarian* food is part of the retreat experience, including breakfast and dinner daily, as well as selected lunches. We've carefully chosen delicious and fresh meals from renowned restaurants and chefs that will give guests an expansive experience of the cuisine. Our dinners will include a few multi-course tasting menus, as well as regional specialties throughout the week. We'll experience tastings from nearby areas where certain local delicacies are produced, like rocky vineyards and small family kitchens. And while on-site, we'll dine in the hotel's dining room or outside sea-view terrace.
*Breakfast is an open menu with all diets being represented, so for non-vegetarians there are options of some other proteins as well. Plus a couple of the provided meals will have an option for seafood, and of course guests can choose whatever they prefer from menus when we are on our own for a few meals.
Each morning, we will rise with the sun and enjoy a ninety minute vinyasa flow style yoga practice overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. Vinyasa flow yoga is a non-hot yoga class that involves linking a series of poses together using breath techniques. The goal is to transition between postures with intention and flow, rather than holding a pose for a long time. Inhale is often used for one movement and exhale for the next. It is a physical practice that includes poses like downward dog, chatarunga, balancing postures and more challenging poses for the body and mind. The classes taught on the retreat are designed to be adaptable for most practitioners, but it will be not taught as beginner yoga, so at least six months of a regular practice is highly recommended for the retreat.
Jen has teamed up with Eat.Pray.Move to help design the most authentic retreat with trusted partners they have been in relationship for years.
