Welcome to our Mini Retreat Intensives with head teacher & founder Kayla Nielsen!

Join us for 4 days of deep heart centered work in paradise! This is the perfect experience for those who are interested in deepening their physical practice, as well as diving a little deeper into their hearts through gratitude and forgiveness.

This weekend will be an intimate gathering of a small group, which gives ensures each person will receive plenty of individual instruction and guidance from our head teacher. 
Together, we'll enjoy 3 nights in the barefoot luxury of Lotus Shores Siargao as we journey into union, expansion, and connection. 

10% of the proceeds from this retreat will be donated to Go Light Our World (GLOW)’s projects across the globe.
All of our teachers and additional staff are volunteering their time and efforts to make this donation possible.
Not only will you be investing in a life-changing experience for yourself in a beautiful location; but you will also be giving back to impoverished communities around the world.
