Transcript

foreign [Music] we have just finished Ali's Yoga Retreat in Bowen Island I knew I was in Burnout mode and I had been looking for an opportunity to get away on a yoga retreat or some place where it was safe to just be and Juliana asked me to come on this Yoga Retreat and this is exactly what I wanted exactly what I was looking for and I've known Ali for almost 10 years and it was just a huge yes for me what surprised me most is I didn't know that I needed it as much as I did I just left my body for a bit and I wasn't in tune with what was going on the space that Ali has opened up really allowed me to go back inside of my body and we were all in agreeance the 13 women that were here that this is just the beginning of something for all of us there's definite shift in energy there were just so many questions that I had about my place here and Min path just from the minute that we arrived we just felt so welcome and connected it and moving through all of the the yoga the way that you play the music the way that you read such powerful words every day those words hit my soul and I'm coming out of this after three days a changed person and I feel this sense of self-love that I was really missing and a sense of purpose and groundedness there's been a huge change in how I perceive myself and my place in the world I live in one of the highlights for me was the Qigong piece and the chakra cleansing being empath that's something that we're just learning about lots of new information that's radiating inside I think it's also pretty remarkable to be in nature in such a beautiful place with so many wonderful human beings who just have such incredible energy and are so vulnerable and willing to hold space for each other and Ali such a wonderful leader guiding us through this work with no expectation and no pressure to feel anything or to be anything then you're not in the moment it's a super safe place to just be and allow what's going to come I will be taking so much of this practice with me and savoring it and learning from it and continuing to grow next year we'll come back it will be the next chapter in our growth a lot of us will have taken steps forward in our lives that we never would have thought possible before these three days that's how transformative it's been I would recommend this for anybody who is just needing a moment to be and just to take a moment to tap into themselves someone who might feel like they're on autopilot or absorbing lots of other people's feelings just a way to learn more about oneself through breath and movement breath and movement breath and movement [Music]
