Popping in from a long hiatus from this page — hello! 🩷 I still post daily on IG over at my .at.yogaway page, but I wanted to share a bit here about a brand new (to us) retreat spot we will be visiting this summer.

I can’t wait to gather with folks at Santosha at Hillholm Estate for a three-night retreat, August 15-18, 2024.

This is not your typical retreat! It’s dog-friendly, and there is a species pricing option for folks who want to join in community but do not practice yoga. For all the yoga folks, there will be several styles of practice as well as *sound healing* included!

The chef-curated meal offerings are epic, to delight our foodie hearts and bellies. There is a sandy river beach right on property! Nature adventures everywhere. On-site spa and wellness treatments. A summer walk into Kingfield town center.

Trust me, if you put this on your calendar now you will thank yourself many times over in August. 💚 Here is the link, and I’m here to answer any questions: https://www.yogawayretreats.com/maine

Hello friends of Yogaway! It’s been quite some time since I’ve posted here, as my teaching, training and retreat offerings all generally share the same space these days at .at.yogaway . I did come across this pic of our last retreat to the Azores in 2018 though, and ahhh it made me smile so big! I wanted to pop in up share that I do have just a couple spaces left to join us at the very special on Sao Miguel island this October 14-19. Please visit www.yogawayretreats.com/azores if it sparks your interest - I’m so grateful to be gradually ramping back up into more retreats. It just feels really good to be together. 💕 checka

I am so thrilled to post this update that our return Yogaway Retreat to in Belize is officially on the books and open for registration. Spots are filling quickly as many of us are so excited to travel again! The photo, though it looks too magical to be real, is actually a snapshot of your twice-daily view on the walk home from Yoga in a covered palapa over the sea 🌊☀️.

To our dear friends from retreats past and future friends from retreats to come ~ we are still here and can’t wait to be back on the road! Our retreat schedule is quiet now as the world weathers the storm of covid-19, but embracing the BEAUTY of this world, the FREEDOM of exploration, and the magic of FRIENDSHIP is more alive in our hearts than ever. There will be amazing opportunities to gather again. Please stay safe and well, and hope you’re finding ways to bring some peace into these days - please reach out if you would like to connect! Can’t wait to see you 💚

This photo of taken by on our Belize retreat last month - easily one of my favorite captures of all time. It’s absolutely stunning on its own but the backstory is also why I cherish it. These two women, new and fast friends, set out on a daylong adventure which included an incredible visit / trek to towering sacred Mayan sites as well as the opportunity to dwell deep in a cave pool for floating meditation. In absolute darkness. Where they listened to their breath and the time passing took on a whole new dimension. They had each other. They stayed grounded. Deep breaths sustained their presence. Michelle snapped this photo on the way out and I friggin love it so much. I know we as women show courage in our lives every day, putting our hearts and minds to work in this world and showing up with love and determination. But every so often it’s good to illuminate that courage in high definition with a step outside of our comfort zone. For ourselves and for one another!! Mia and Michelle took this journey, but the light in their eyes upon their return inspired us ALL. ✨💚

Wouldn’t today be a good day to put bell’Italia on your summer schedule?? July 6-12 in magical Molise - a wild and beautiful place which spans the foothills of the Alps to the edge of the Adriatic Sea. This is literally a one of a kind retreat being curated by members of families who have lived here for generations. Say yes to adventure, inspiration and cultural expansion and put in your deposit for one of our last rooms today! 🇮🇹 https://www.yogawayretreats.com/italy

It’s day retreat time again!! ✨ Sarah Winslow Yoga and I ( Checka Yoga ) have approximately three candid photos together after 6-7 years of collaborating - because we always seem to be laughing instead 😂. We were talking over dinner the other night about how grateful we are for the opportunity to bring people together and be in community through yoga. It’s such a bright light in both of our lives! Our next day retreat is coming up on Saturday, March 21 in Newmarket, NH and we can’t wait to gather. Hope to see you there! The deets are at www.yogawayretreats.com/newhampshire

Retreats bring out the explorer in each of us. Slip away and explore a new terrain. Find a spot that inspires you and stay a while. The body breathes. Gratitude grows. We remember this precious chance to love ourselves well in life. 💙

Hello out there! here. I run this page, and organize / lead or co-lead all of the events and trips. Our retreat to in Belize ended three days ago and I am back in boots and a beanie in MA, but looking at this photo brings me right back into the warmth.

We spent ten practices in the most beautiful overwater yoga space during our week together. I had planned to take a group photo at the end of our last practice, during a stunning sunset, but I forgot. Fast forward a few hours to our closing ceremony on the beach, cuddled in a bunch with a crackling bonfire complementing the sound of the sea. We asked a fellow guest to snap our photo and when I looked at it, all I could see was the light of love. Bright shining eyes, the comfort of sisters, the glow of being accepted and loved just as you are.

I had been so focused on catching the scenery, which admittedly was breathtaking - but turns out the light was shining bright from within each of these beautiful souls. We live in a world of SO many images that shuttle past our eyes as quick as a blink, but this one is framed in my heart for keeps.

More magic awaits... ✨

This is the time of year when we can nestle into the coziness of winter while daydreams of summertime dance in our heads 🌞. It’s also the time to plan your summer adventure!! Yoga in the Heart of Italy with , July 6-12, is close to half full ~ can’t wait for this special trip!

In group yoga practice, there is an invitation to dwell within and feel simultaneously supported by our surroundings. In 2019, Yogaway Retreaters got to experience this in Belize, Martinique, Massachusetts, Nova Scotia, Vermont and Maine. Thank you SO much to everyone who supports our offerings through attending, sharing, referring, connecting online or in person. These peaceful moments together brighten up any time of year ✨. Can’t wait to make some 2020 memories!

BLISS OUT comes around once per year, and there is a spot for you in this cozy scene! ❤️ December 8 in Eliot, ME (just over the border from Portsmouth, NH), our day will run from 11am to 5:30pm. It will include two extended gentle fireside practices with Sarah Winslow and Checka Antifonario, a homemade vegetarian feast for lunch, a take-home craft (essential oil-infused foaming soap), and enjoyment of the beautiful property at . Restorative and Yin practices benefit from spacious surroundings, so we cap this one-day retreat at 18 yogis. Five spaces remain! The link to join is at www.yogawayretreats.com/maine 🌀

Intentional living is made up of intentional moments. Slowing down to connect with those with whom we are about to share a meal. To thank those who grew and prepared our food and of course to honor Nature for providing it. This is one of our favorite things about - a farm to table community from the start! Autumn retreat dates are set for next year - October 16-18, 2020 - in case you want to save the dates:)

We chose Thatch Caye, a Muy'Ono Resort for our winter retreat this year for many reasons, one of which is their dedication to having a positive impact on their local community in Belize. This manifests through strong employment and advancement opportunities, environmental responsibility and sustainability, and consistent monetary donations to schools and non-profits. For those traveling with us to Thatch Caye this January, there is an automatic donation included in your registration, AND if you have a little space in your suitcase you can “Pack for a Purpose” and bring a few essential items for The King’s Children Home! 💛

The theme of this past weekend’s retreat was giving ourselves the freedom, space and time to choose. To carve out an hour, an afternoon - even a full day when we can - that has no agenda. To let each moment carry us to the next and enjoy the curiosity of what organically evolves. To feel time unfold, soothe and surprise us. Thank you to everyone who made this such a wonderful weekend at in Vermont. Next year’s dates coming soon!

Of all of the things you see on a retreat itinerary, what is unwritten is often what will live on in your heart the most. The slowing down, the smiles and laughs. Swapping stories and support. Sharing kindred moments. All the beauty above and beyond the plans on a page 💚

Each time I look back for photos of last year’s Bliss Out one-day December retreat (which was our third time running it), I find only a few hasty snaps - with a significant percentage of them being of cute goats. First I get annoyed with myself 😂and then I remember that when the end of the year comes, my inclination is really to simplify. To slow down, enjoy the kindness of those around me, and chill. To let go of doing and tracking all the things and just be. To let my nervous system relax. All the reasons this one-day retreat full of Yin and Restorative Yoga, Reiki, nourishment and simple crafting was born in the first place. Sarah Winslow Yoga and I ( Checka Yoga ) look forward to this day so much and hope you can join! Early bird pricing of $170 for the day is extended to 10/16. Yogawayretreats.com/maine has all the deets for our 2019 Bliss Out day on December 8 at in southern Maine. Please take a look and message me with any questions!
