Here are just a very few of the magical moments that happened this past weekend at the Saranam Yoga and Wellness Retreat! I am beyond blown away by the amazing people I met this weekend and so happy to have gotten to spend time catching up with people I don’t get to see often. These retreats are a labor of love for me. I want to bring people together in a space that allows them to exhale completely, to commune with nature, to meet like-minded people and have meaningful conversations. Thank you to the people who sent me photos, to the outstanding facilitators who taught classes, made music, and shared this time with us. Thank you to each person who attended and thank you mother earth for never disappointing with your beauty. We even got a double rainbow! None of this would have happened without the unwavering support of my partner, Chai, who helps keep me brave when I lose my nerve. Special thanks to Heidi and Keli who were on the receiving end of a few panicked texts when I didn’t know if I could pull this all together. Both of you are magical goddesses. Thank you Geoff for putting the most care into rice and dal I have ever seen in my life. Thank you to Swami Bruce for bringing yoga to Greenville in the first place, and laboring for decades to keep the center alive so we are able to enjoy it today. If I didn’t mention you by name, please know you are tattooed on my heart forever. Now it’s time for a nap.
