YOGA RETREATS: Croatia 🇭🇷 2026🌴 Senegal 🇸🇳 April 🏝️ Mallorca 2026 🇪🇸 Yoga & meditation teacher/Martial Arts Yoga Online, @equinox NYC.

This weekend I had the honor of being part of the This weekend I had the honor of being part of the Eudemonia Summit and plan to be there in 2026! I am still processing the connections, synchronicities, opportunities, and lessons that landed so deeply in my heart.

One reminder kept returning: we grow because of our roots. Our communities, loved ones, and sanghas keep us grounded, nourished, and inspired so we can expand into our highest potential.

I am especially grateful for the incredible humans I met on Day 1 who instantly became my chosen family. We supported and lifted one another through the entire summit. When energy aligns, it is divine.

I also met extraordinary leaders like Catherine Arnston, CEO of @energybits , and the inspiring @jenselter . Their clarity and purpose truly moved me.

So many people at @eudemoniasummit were searching for meaning and signs to step toward their destiny. The Alchemist and the idea of your Personal Legend kept appearing, a beautiful reminder to trust ourselves and trust something greater.

Throughout it all, I was reminded that energy never lies. Some people radiate from within, from self-worth and the belief that they are worthy of the life they envision. That is satya (truth) and santosha (inner contentment).

A highlight was connecting with Dr. Mei Rui, a neuroscientist and concert pianist. I found myself on stage in the Hilton ballroom with @drleiladoolittle wearing brain scanners while @meiruipiano and @valentinradutiucello played piano and cello and hundreds watched our brains respond in real time. It was surreal and unforgettable.

The whole summit echoed three themes:
🌿 Connection. Sangha heal us.
🔥 Transformation. Challenges reveal who we are.
✨ Faith. In nature, the universe, God, and ourselves.

My mom always says:
“You cannot fight darkness with darkness. Keep shining. Be the light.”

That is the energy I am carrying forward, especially as I just finished my upcoming e-book, Rituals for Radiance: A Morning Routine through the Yamas, Niyamas and Neuroscience. I cannot wait to share it with you.🤍

There’s a Wolof proverb that’s been echoing in my There’s a Wolof proverb that’s been echoing in my heart since returning to Brooklyn: Nit nitay garab am, “a person is another person’s tree.” 🌳

It means we find our solutions through people, through connection, through Sangha (community). 🌿

After the Croatia retreat (and a drive through Slovenia & Italy to the airport), I was so deep in reflection while journaling, processing, and being fully present that I completely missed my flight from Venice to Morocco and Senegal. ✈️😅 Then my phone, cracked from a run in the rain, went completely white with spots. Gone.

Yet somehow, through new Senegalese friends I met on the journey (and putting  my Wolof and French to good use), I found my way to the breathtaking @souimangalodge 🌺 I spent days offline — no photos, no maps or calls, just being fully present in the moment, like a Time Machine to my 20s!

When I got back to Dakar, a friend of a friend of a friend fixed my phone, right in front of me, piece by piece. 😅 There were so many other stories of being part of offering help and receiving help from others every day✨

That’s Nit nitay garab am, people helping people. Trees as a source of all that we seek.

This month’s theme in class is Santosha - gratitude and contentment, and Sangha - sacred community. A reminder that even when things fall apart, we are always being held by one another. 🕊️

As I return home, I’m remembering how valuable it is and feeling deeply grateful for the many webs of connection that keep expanding in everyday life and especially on Retreats — from Brooklyn to Senegal, Croatia, Mallorca, and the Catskills.

I ask my children this every day and I will pose the same to you: how are you helping others today and how have others helped you? When we take part in the cycle of supporting others not only do we experience and receive gratitude, we are taking to create a sustainable community to all learn and grow together. 🌿

There’s a moment at the end of every retreat when There’s a moment at the end of every retreat when the noise of life fades, and all that’s left is gratitude. 🌿

As we shared our final delicious breakfast, fresh juices and fruits, chia puddings, garden-picked salads, warm homemade bread, and hot drinks , our group reflected on the deep gratitude we felt for this week in Croatia.

There were moments of rain outside, and moments of turning inward, facing the darker spaces we often bury beneath our busy, always-on lives. Yet, as the sun broke through, so did we, uncovering our radiant light and sharing it generously, with deep gratitude. ☀️

On my drive through Istria in Croatia and Slovenia back to Venice to catch my flight. I listened to the latest @hubermanlab episode and it couldn’t be more fitting! It’s all about gratitude, and how witnessing others’ gratitude can literally change your brain. 🧠✨

That’s the magic of a retreat: you don’t just practice gratitude — you live it. Through yoga, breath, journaling, reflection, and connection. You feel those channels of gratitude open within yourself… and see them mirrored in others as your heart expands even more.

This week in Istria, Croatia at @meneghettiwinehotel was pure magic — a divine blend of presence, transformation, and connection. ✨
I’m beyond thrilled to return next fall, September 2026, for another soul-nourishing journey of yoga, meditation, breathwork, and gratitude. 💫

If your heart is calling for deeper connection and expansion, this retreat is for you. 

Space will be limited — reach out now to reserve your place.

I am beyond thrilled to share that I’ll be part of the Prema Yoga Teacher Training Program beginning this February. 🌿

To be included in this incredible faculty and community put together by the amazing @amandharding is such a gift. Prema has always been a home for deep practice, soulful connection, authentic and experienced teaching, and I can’t wait to support the next generation of teachers as they explore the journey of diving deeply into yoga, meditation, philosophy, breathing, Ayurveda and themselves.

If you’ve been feeling the call to deepen your practice, expand your knowledge, connect with yourself and like-minded people and immerse yourself in the many limbs that make up yoga, this training is a truly transformative path.
