Details of this retreat

Jacqui is honored and excited to lead Om Tara Yoga Studio’s 8th annual retreat at the serene and sacred Menla Mountain Retreat Center. To retreat means to withdraw; Jacqui invites you to withdraw from your routine and possibly stressful lives, immerse yourself in nature while practicing Yoga, Pranayama and Meditation. Embrace the deeper study of Yoga through philosophy discussions and take home with you a greater understanding of how to support yourself physically and emotionally through the science of Ayurveda. Round out your weekend with hikes, spa treatments, reading and naps.

Enjoy fresh, healthy vegetarian meals in a serene setting. Experience a bonfire under the stars where you can release that which no longer serves you and invite that which you wish to manifest in your life. This is a rare opportunity to gift yourself the time and space necessary to cleanse, heal, connect and renew, while being surrounded by the beautiful landscape and sacred energy of Menla. All levels of Yoga experience are welcome.

Just Perfect

My experience at Menla was exactly what I needed. It was quiet, serene, tranquil. The food was delicious! Aside from that, being able to be immersed in practice was glorious. I have not had the opportunity to be in practice in this was in almost 10 years. I fully enjoyed being able to practice every day, to hear about other people's practices and to once again learn from Cyndi Lee. I always refer to Cyndi as my teacher and It was truly wonderful to be able to hear the teachings again and continue to deepen my practice. I really loved this experience with great people in the perfect atmosphere.

Cultivating Joy

Led by Jayne Gumpel, this retreat was a combination of guided meditation, forest bathing and making art. It created a loving atmosphere to go inside in a safe space. Jayne’s mantra is the group is the medicine and by the end of the retreat that became perfectly clear.
