Who This Retreat Is For

This retreat is for you if you are ready to press pause on the noise of everyday life and give yourself permission to rest, move, and simply be. You don’t need any prior yoga experience — just an open heart and a willingness to show up for yourself.

Gather & Ground warmly welcomes all women and women-identifying individuals.

About Your Host

Hi, I’m Janis— a nurse practitioner, certified health coach, and yoga teacher, and the founder of Growing Light Wellness & Yoga.

I’ve been teaching yoga since 2020 and hosting retreats at Winter Clove in the Catskills since 2021. My approach to yoga and wellness is rooted in accessibility and joy — I believe movement should feel good, and that everyone deserves to feel at home in their body.

My background in healthcare and health coaching means I bring a grounded, whole-person perspective to everything I do. Whether you’re on the mat, on the trail, or gathered around the dinner table, my goal is for you to leave feeling more connected, more at ease, and more yourself.

I can’t wait to share this space with you.
