Busy schedules, stress, burnout, and the distraction of physical and emotional pain affect many of us. Making time for mindfulness is more crucial now than ever. Retreats are intentional enriching getaways for quiet escape to pray, meditate, reflect, and cultivate healthier ways of living. Here are some reasons you might consider your own immersive journey into healing from the stresses of everyday life this year.

• Access to expert advice and wellness tools
• Movement, breathwork, and mindfulness practices to decrease pain & improve mobility
• Increase relaxation and reduce stress
• Improved physical and emotional well-being
• Unplug from overstimulation

Retreats at Waterfall Yoga Therapy are tailored to the individual, couple, group, or corporate team.
For individuals, retreats provide private and personalized life-changing experiences designed for your capability level, needs, and goals. The private retreat experience is a helpful aid through difficult life transitions such as retirement, empty nest, or the process of grief and loss.

Couples enjoy the alone time designed to encourage growth and bonding and provide accountability to reaching goals together. It is an excellent anniversary present for your significant other.

Small group retreats foster a sense of community and meaningful connections with other like-minded individuals for a support network that extends beyond the retreat. You can also customize your own small group retreat with your favorite people for a fun, unique way to celebrate birthdays, reunions, or other life events.

Team retreats are powerful tools for business owners who want to invest in team building and cohesion. Investing in a team retreat can enhance trust, improve communication, reduce turnover, and improve productivity.
