Renew, recharge & re-think the Holidays
How many times have you felt lost in the stress and shopping compulsion of the Holidays, thinking, “”what is the purpose of all this””? Going from store to store, swiping your card over and over again. ‘Tis the season of the never ending shopping lists…

Is there a way to do the Holidays differently? Shouldn’t it be about true connection (within and with others) rather than endless mall visits and gifts nobody really needs? We want to invite you to shift things around this December and focus on what really matters to you.

What’s this shift we are talking about?
We are talking about exchanging the endless aisles of department stores for blissful yoga, beautiful ocean-views, mouth-watering healthful meals, a community of like-minded people… and by far the most important one; quality time to connect with yourself. We are talking about spending 5 nights and 6 days away from the Holiday madness; recharging, reconnecting and re-writing the true meaning and spirit of the Holidays. Time to just be.

OM for the Holidays is a yoga retreat like no other that focuses on helping you de-stress, relax and connect within so you can experience the Holiday season in a different light. Yoga retreats are a perfect way to shift and transform your life. It is not your average vacation, but rather an opportunity for personal growth and connection.

This is the third year in a row an intimate group of happy yogis and yoginis, led by talented yoga teacher Renee Gauthier and My Dharma Yoga, get to spend a week giving themselves the best gift of all: a chance to transform their Holidays into something exciting, refreshing and rejuvenating.

Renee Gauthier
Renee guides her students through yoga classes that are a balance of attention to alignment, focus on connecting within, permission to play, and space to be. With her background in Iyengar, Anusara, Ashtanga, and restorative yoga, Renee offer her students a balance of challenge, support, and serenity. Read more about Renee on her website.

The Gift
We believe this is the Holiday gift you really need to give yourself, and maybe give someone you love too. Because after all (and we couldn’t agree more with this quote): “”Travel is the only thing you buy that makes you richer.””

Here’s what you’ll give yourself with this yoga retreat:

• Yoga twice a day focused specifically on de-stressing the mind, recharging your body and soul, and re-thinking the true meaning of the Holidays. We work with yogis of all-levels as we have the luxury of time to cater to our intimate group.
