About this trip

The Autumn Equinox marks the beginning of fall, a season for balancing light and dark, letting go, and accepting the impermanence of things. 


Come flow with us through the last day of summer and into the first day of fall, when dark and light, day and night, are equal. Savor inspiring sunrises and stunning sunsets at the beautiful Banana River Resort, a waterside gem that offers a relaxed, laid-back environment with private river and beach access. At last year's event we even had the great fortune to witness, and swim in, the magical glow of bioluminescence! 

We take care of everything for you. Just sign-up and show-up!


Our days will include morning and evening yoga sessions on the riverside deck suitable for all levels of yoginis (we welcome interruptions from dolphins and manatees), three freshly prepared vegetarian/vegan meals daily, group circle time, evening bonfires, and plenty of free time to enjoy the resorts amenities and stunning natural surroundings, including the use of stand-up paddle boards. The weekend will also include a SUP yoga/meditation session, essentials oils make-and-take class, and an evening of vision board creation.  This year we happy to offer an optional add-on activity for a small fee: a guided canvas painting class. Surfing and SUP surfing lessons are also available through resort management!


Bring balance back to your body and to your life. Let go and flow through the change of seasons. See you on the river. 


This retreat sold out last year so reserve your spot early! 

Payment plans are available. Just email us when you register to make arrangements. Final payments are due by September 7, 2018. Refunds available through July 22, 2018.


Meet Your Retreat Leaders

Erin Jaszczak, 200-RYT

Erin began practicing yoga more than 20 years ago and over the years found that the periods in her life that she let her practice fall away were the times she actually needed it the most. After committing to her personal practice seven years ago, she found healing from past traumas and conditions including metastatic breast cancer at the age of 37, depression, and autoimmune disorders. As an instructor and founder of Where in the World Yoga & Wellness, Erin's goal is to bring yoga to you, no matter where you are on your journey, by providing practical, accessible, and achievable yoga instruction and inspiration to heal any body, with a special emphasis on beginners, returners and recovering bodies.  Erin is a 200  Hour Registered Yoga Instructor, trained under yoga master Edely Wallace. She continues to expand her studies and is currently completing her certification as a Lymphatic Yoga® instructor under the programs creator, Edely Wallace.   

When not on the mat, Erin enjoys traveling with her husband and two children, preparing meals with local foods, and any activity on the water, especially SUP yoga!

Molly Roberts, 200-RYT

Molly started her yoga journey in 1998 as an elective course in college.  That introduction to Hatha Yoga lead to a lifelong love and it quickly became a sanctuary for her fast paced life as a full time student and full time hotel manager.  She continued to practice yoga regularly including during all three of her pregnancies. In 2015 she began her 200 RYT teacher training simply to expand her personal knowledge of the history and philosophy of yoga.  After completing her basic teacher certification she began offering donation based yoga classes to teachers at a local elementary school.  She received her 200 RYT® in 2016 and began working at YogaMatrix Studio in Orlando, Florida as a substitute instructor and assistant to Yoga Master Edely Wallace.  Molly is currently training for her certification as a Lymphatic Yoga® Instructor and had the privilege of assisting Edely Wallace in teaching Lymphatic Yoga at the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Stockbridge, MA.   Molly and her family also have a passion for natural health and wellness.  Their home is filled with essential oils which they use for everything from homework time to preventing and assisting when illness creeps in. Molly also incorporates essential oils into her yoga classes. Learn more at WhyMomOils.Weebly.com.

This was a wonderful experience. I had never really done yoga before and I was a little apprehensive but Erin was great guiding me through the various poses. And I learned a lot and explored my creativity with Trish's sessions. They were fun and enlightening. The food was great. I am not into vegetarian but everything was surprisingly tasty.

Erin and Molly organized a fantastic camping retreat. Everything was thought of and all I had to do was show up. The meals were delicious. My favorite part of the trip was the sunset sail. See you ladies again soon!

Erin & Trish were fabulous! The cabin was perfect, we embraced the weather and spent quiet time reflecting. The flexibility of our days and times for activities was a big plus. The Yoga was relaxing, doable, modified as needed, and educational. I enjoyed the focus on breath, lymphatic system, and making it my own practice, and the ending relaxation. We all want Erin to make a recording—her voice is so soothing and calming. The vegan meals were absolutely delicious and we received the recipes! The journaling was so much fun and presented in an inviting playful way so that exploring together felt safe and right. The journal and art supplies were all in our goody bags, wow! I told Erin that I felt so cared for over the weekend—that it was an even better experience than I expected. Meeting and connected with the other participants (like minded souls) and practicing tender self care and relaxation was exactly what I needed in body, mind and soul. Thanks so much Erin & Trish! ♥
