Details of this retreat

Reset & Recharge: Nervous System Regulation Retreat is an immersive yoga retreat designed to support recovery from burnout and restore sustainable energy in the midst of full, demanding lives. Blending evidence-informed nervous system education with embodied yogic practices, this retreat explores stress regulation, emotionally responsive approaches, breathwork, Yoga Nidra, Nada yoga, and resilience-building tools. Participants will gain insight into the physiology of burnout, learn how to recognize early signs of depletion, and cultivate practical strategies for shifting from overdrive into steady, grounded recovery. The retreat is thoughtfully structured for both yoga teachers and dedicated students, offering depth of understanding alongside directly applicable practices.

Each day weaves together dynamic yet accessible asana practice to mobilize and discharge stress, breathwork to regulate the nervous system, meditation to steady the mind, and deeply restorative practices including yin yoga, restorative yoga, and extended Yoga Nidra. Ecstatic dance sessions and Nada yoga invite joyful release and reconnection to vitality, while guided reflection supports the creation of personalized recovery rituals that extend beyond the retreat experience. This is not simply time away, it is a structured reset designed to help participants recharge with intention, build resilience from the inside out, and return to daily life with renewed clarity, balance, and sustainable energy.

“In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions:
When did you stop dancing?
When did you stop singing?
When did you stop being enchanted by stories?
When did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence?”
Gabrielle Roth
