Want to feel energized moving into the new year?
But instead...

This is your chance to pause before you dive into 2026

Here's how your morning will flow

We’ll move, breathe, and rest in a way that helps you feel more grounded, centered, and ready for the year ahead.

• Slow down: get comfy and close your eyes as we start with gentle breath work and meditation.
• Move your body: with a yoga flow built around the strength and stillness of winter.
• Set your intentions: with a reflective journaling to help you start 2026 with a sense of clarity and calm. 
• Reset your nervous system with Yoga Nidra a deeply restful, guided meditation
• Celebrate: we end with yummy snacks and time to connect.  

Begin the year with intentions that bring clarity and a sense of ease. 

Bonuses When You Join

Linda Yeung is joining us again with her Crystal Singing Bowls. The bowls create a healing sound vibration leading you into a state of rest more restorative than sleep. Your nervous system will be rebalanced and you'll feel absolutely amazing.

You’ll receive an expanded set of journaling prompts from the retreat, so you can revisit the reflection process anytime you want to reset or check in with yourself during the year.

Hi, I'm Donna 

For years, I’ve started each new year the same way, not with resolutions to overhaul my life, but with small, simple, meaningful steps that feel good to follow through on.

I’ve been teaching yoga and leading retreats for over 25 years, and if there’s one thing I know, it’s this: when we slow down and get clear, we make better choices. We feel more like ourselves.

After my own health challenge a few years ago, this became even more true. These aren’t just practices I teach. They’re how I live.

This retreat is how I begin each year with more calm, clarity, and trust in what’s next.
