I never imagined that a girl from a small college town in Kentucky would end up finding home in the Sacred Valley of Peru, but here I am—29 years old, living my best life, and feeling more at peace than I ever thought possible. So, how did I go from the fast-paced streets of Miami to teaching yoga surrounded by mountains and alpacas? Well, it definitely wasn't a direct path…

As someone who had never experienced a retreat before, let me start by saying that this Peru Itinerary 2 weeks of Allowing Ease Retreat, was just what I needed. Each and every single day held it’s own value and significance. Whether it be the transformation, the care that was poured into me, or even what I had experienced while in Peru itself.

It's not happenstance that this place is called sacred. The whole region of Cusco really has a mystical feel to it. The moment you step out from the airport you'll feel the energy here is special. Even though there's hustle and bustle as you drive through the city on your way to the valley, you'll also notice a quiet energy. There's a palpable peace that emanates from the Andes mountains in this region.

In our modern world, where every second counts and digital devices incessantly demand our attention, we have a growing desire for moments of rest and relaxation. Moments where we can disconnect from the hum of notifications and reconnect with our inner selves. This growing need has given rise to a blossoming service dedicated to offering sanctuary from the daily hustle: the world of retreats.

I don’t consider myself religious, in that I don’t follow any specific doctrine or dogma. Having that said spiritual truth is spiritual truth, and I celebrate the diverse ways in which spiritual teachings have been shared around the world for millennia. I have a deep connection to many mystics including the Buddha, Christ, Adyashanti, and many others. One of the most crucial truths I’ve learned about spirituality, and the spiritual journey from these teachers is the importance of self-compassion.
