Get your energy flowing and your skin glowing!

Join Katrina, Nikki and Chef Perla for restorative yoga & meditation practices, holistic skincare and elevated eating. Drawn from the lens of Ayurveda this three day luxurious retreat in Encinitas, CA will focus on replenishing your vital essence of OJAS, allowing you to feel naturally beautiful from the inside out. 

“OJAS" (pronounced oh-jus) *THE POWER THAT SUSTAINS US.*

 Ojas is the container that holds your abundant energy.  You've heard of the saying "You can't pour from an empty cup?" Well ojas is the cup. It is the vital sap that gives us vitality, radiance and resilience, as well as promotes creativity, mental clarity, compassion, and spiritual strength. It is the pure essence of kapha (water and earth) and helps to sustain us. When we are under the weather, impatient, stressed, dissatisfied, negative, exhausted or depleted, that means our ojas is low!  

When you leave this retreat you will feel calm, empowered, beautiful, healthy, loving and strong...isn't time to return back to your OG self?  ; ) 

Over the weekend, you will learn about the ayurvedic process of building ojas, restoring your inherent vitality, and reconnecting to a state of balance and well-being through yoga, meditation, and ojas enhancing treatments and workshops. 

With ample time for rest, nourishment and self care, we will slow down the aging process, boost your immunity, activate your senses and bring back your body, mind and spirit to a state of harmonious balance. It’s time to GLOW.

Meet your hosts: 

Katrina Amato is no stranger to the often harsh impacts the beauty world can have on a woman’s personal evolution. By way of Madison WI, her 20-year journey professionally modeling, and dancing infused a deep desire in Katrina to find a way to help women take their “beauty power” back into their own hands. She felt compelled to support their discovery of what beauty feels like, rather than being told what it should be. All of this inspired her pursuit of becoming a licensed holistic esthetician and Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor.

Katrina is passionate about educating her clients on whole-plant organic skincare, helping them create rituals to reconnect with themselves daily, and to teach them techniques to better their health so they can age gracefully.  Come soak up the vast wealth of knowledge that Katrina so lovingly shares alongside her magica,l healing touch. 

A 500 hour Registered Yoga and Meditation teacher, Nikki Nie uses the system of Tantric Hatha Yoga to facilitate spaces for others to master their energy and ultimately their life. 

She feels we are only as healthy as our mind, and blends principles of Ayurveda and the healing energy of Reiki to bring ultimate balance and wellness to her clients.

As a holistic wellness guide Nikki has a strong drive to help create spaces for others to heal, find balance and shine their light! In order to expand her reach Nikki has teamed up with major forces in the wellness industry. Partnering with KINRGY, expanded fitness by Julianne Hough, she has shared on the Oprah 2020 vision tour, as well as taught on multiple Tony Robbins virtual seminars. She has also created yoga and meditation content for Tonal, Fabletics Fit, CLI Studios and Hello Core. Her mastery of teaching and warm positive vibe will be just want you need to feel like a true goddess this weekend!

Welcome to your restorative wellness weekend! 

For those staying at our gorgeous Encinitas house, you can start settling in between 1-3pm. Everyone else can start getting to know one another from 2-4pm over pranically charged grazing boards and refreshing non-alcoholic beverages. 

From 4-6pm we will gather for our Opening Ceremony to connect within and also with each other. Through meditation and kirtan we will shift our vibration and allow our highest intentions to come through as we plant seeds for the weekend. Our circle will be sealed with protection through the forces of reiki and we will be clear and ready to embark on this journey of restoration and radical self-love. 

It’s time to eat! At 6:30pm Chef Perla will nourish everyone with her consciously crafted dinner that will not only be healthy and vegan but sensually delicious. There’s nothing like sharing a meal with like minded women because this bonding time will undoubtedly set into motion friendships that can last a life time. 

A good nights rest is vital to building ojas. This grown up slumber party will have all the cozy fun vibes while also following the ayurvedic clock, allowing everyone to be ready for bed by 10pm. Sweet dreams goddess. 

We will be easing into our morning with a gentle yoga practice at one of Encinitas famous beaches. Nikki will masterfully guide you through asana, pranayama and meditation drawn from the lens of tantric hatha yoga to help you shape and organize your energy. Here we will enjoy the sounds of the waves and take in the local surf culture and wildlife while stretching and breathing in fresh air.

After our skin has been kissed by the sun, salt, and sand, we will head back to the retreat house for a nourishing brunch prepared by chef Perla. 

Once our food has been digested, Katrina will lead us in an afternoon Ayurvedic Skincare workshop where we will cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate our faces. She will teach different facial techniques and dive into the world of whole-plant skincare. Laurel Whole-plant Skincare and facial stones will be available for purchase. 

Free time! It wouldn’t be a true retreat if you didn’t have some down time. Take advantage of the pool, read a book, rest, and/or explore the town before coming back together for a healing evening meal.

We will end our day back at the beach to catch one of Southern California’s unforgettable sunsets while Nikki bathes you in the vibration of her crystal sound bowls. 

Head back to the house for a steamy eucalyptus shower and slip into your Pjs for pillow talk and tea as you unwind from the most Ojas building day of your life. 

Waking up before the sun and the birds is a sacred time for self reflection and the retreat house is the perfect environment to inspire us to do this. It is rare that we have the time or motivation to arise early and in a relaxed way, but with the support of your new sisters and a warm cup of tea awaiting your arrival, it will feel effortless to start your day with mindful movement and meditation. 

We will break our morning silence by chanting 108 rounds of the aum mantra and allow that frequency to stay with us as we begin to part ways. 

Goodbye smoothies will give us the energy to pack up our things and check out by 10am. 

Option to hug now or continue the festivities with Nikki and Katrina at Yogananda's Self-Realization Center before grabbing lunch at a local cafe and walking to the beach to soak up a bit more of that vibrant California sunshine!

Either way you’ve reclaimed your vital essence and your inner beauty can illuminate all those you touch as you return back to your life radiating your OJAS GLOW!
