DISEMBARKATION // Saturday, August 10
Split
Check out at 8am. Sadly it is time to say goodbye, until our next big adventure together.
A GYPSET Yoga Retreat with Melissa and Laurel was exactly what my corporate mama soul needed to ensure I was refreshed and re-energized after a long year of work, building teams, and deadlines. It was the perfect mix of connectedness with the other attendees, a peaceful time on my mat, and good workouts that challenged my mind and body. The organic from-scratch meals were another way to nourish and replenish, and I’m so grateful for this time away with the beautiful leadership of Melissa and Laurel. This is the best investment I’ve made for myself this year and cannot wait for my next retreat!
