My worldwide yoga retreats are designed to allow you to unplug from the demands of daily life, and harmonize the rhythms of your body with those of nature. As the breath slows and tension dissolves, your mind quiets, freeing you to remember who you are and why you’re here. In our natural state of openness, we begin to release - layer by layer, that which no longer serves us. My retreats focus on healing the parts of our life that keep us from experiencing our deeper purpose, and on creating an outward lifestyle that is a reflection of our innermost desires.

Autumn is a time of transformation beyond just the season. This lovely little window between the assertive drive of summer and the soft, dark, moist time of winter provides a delicious and important time for finding and restoring balance within ourselves, and to align our rhythms with those of nature. As the days become shorter, the rhythm shifts and the light and heat of summer subside, we organically move toward something more mellow and soft, which encourages us to look within and reflect. Our retreat will emphasize connecting with this softness, and drawing our senses inward with the intention of a deep loving kindness toward ourselves, where we find the beautiful, whole, feminine Center of our Beingness.
The morning will include yin yoga, a gentle inward practice, a focused breathing meditation designed to accelerate our personal transformation, and a yummy organic lunch. After lunch, we will break for free time to rest, get a massage** or simply explore the tranquil grounds of the beautiful La Casa de Maria. We will end the day with a walking meditation, healing mantra circle and decadent gong bath.
Join Vikki Taylor and Laura Marcotte for this divine opportunity to unplug your mind and recharge your soul. Through the alchemy of yoga, meditation and women in community, we will drop into the heart of our Being, where we find healing, peace and connection.

Women's Wellbeing Yoga Retreat
Cultivating the Art of Self Care
Sat. May 23, 2015
Please join Kirtan (Laura) Marcotte and Vikki Taylor for this special gathering of women at the beautiful Casa de Maria in Montecito.
As women we are the center of our family and community. We often experience a high demand of our time and energy, leaving little time for ourselves. We continuously give, share and care. Our retreat will nourish your soul, liberate the body, clear your mind and create a space for taking care of your own needs.
Through the healing practices of Ayurveda, Kundalini & Yin Yoga, you will learn techniques for cultivating and maintaining a regular practice of self care. You will be nurtured, supported and guided toward learning to see your life with new eyes as well as discovering the tools you need to move powerfully back into your life with a deeper commitment to yourself.
Our “sanctuary” for the day, La Casa de Maria, offers acres of tranquil gardens, including the Sadako Peace Garden, a stone labyrinth, swimming pool, meditation chapel, and numerous quiet nooks and crannies to quietly snuggle away with a book or a treat yourself to a luxurious nap. Additionally, there are miles of hiking trails for a walking meditation and quiet contemplation.
Our morning will begin with an energizing and balancing yoga and meditation session, followed by a scrumptious healthy buffet style lunch. Following lunch, we will walk the labyrinth, and then retreat into free time to enjoy the amenities of the estate, take a nap, walk, meditate, swim or sun bathe, get a massage**, be in community with one another, or simply create a private space for stillness and silence. We will come together in the afternoon for a restorative yoga class, and gong bath/meditation.
The alchemy of the community of women, along with the transformative powers of Kundalini & Yin Yoga creates fertile ground for restoration, healing and balance. This retreat will be a celebration of the radiant, unique center of your universe that you are! Be prepared to relax, release, expand, connect, smile, and laugh and to be gifted with new awareness!
Pre-registration is required prior to Thursday, May 21st, as La Casa requires final meal count. Space is limited, so please register early.

“My experience at the Women’s Wisdom Retreat (June 2014) created by Vikki & Kirtan was certainly my sanctuary for the day and forward!
The thoughtful and balanced schedule made doing core work easy. Time for self-exploration was a strong channel for a day of mindfulness. The positive and peaceful presence of Vikki and Kirtan as well as the venue provided and exemplified the energy of trust and feminine spirituality that encouraged me to be open to receiving that which is for my highest good, which is nourishing the stronghold of my authentic self. It is with love and gratitude that I know I am blessed to have you both as my teachers.” Butterfli O'Shea |
