3 Day Fuel the Flame of Your Inner Desire Yoga Retreat in California

Here you are - a woman in mid-life. Somehow you didn’t expect life to turn out like this. You wonder what happened to all of those dreams you had for yourself. Somewhere along the way you lost control, allowed your own light to dim while being preoccupied with taking care of everyone else. You forgot what it was that you really wanted. And now you go through the motions of your day, living a ho-hum life.

You yearn for more for yourself yet wonder if it’s even possible or worth the effort to get that spark back. You can continue on the path you’re on that leave you feeling invisible, confused, and lonely or connect with the woman you are meant to be. Your time isn’t up. It begins when you dare to put yourself first. There is an amazing bright light in you waiting to emerge. The Ignited Women Retreat is a time to discover who you really are and to step into your brilliance.

You’ll learn powerful tools to help you:

• Explore deeper possibilities for your physical wellbeing
• Boost your confidence and feel more comfortable in your own skin
