A Better Breath How often during the day does your breathing become shallow? This type of inefficient breathing increases our stress.

WHAT OTHER PAST RETREAT PARTICIPANTS SHARE ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE

Monica : "I loved the retreat; it was great to take a full day to slow down and be led through a mindful experience. Miguel’s soothing and centered energy was greatly appreciated."

Sally : “I was immediately made at ease not only by the teacher, Miguel, but also by the other participants who were indeed like minded people. It was a very professional level of yoga teaching, with consideration and sensitivity to all attendees. Lovely lunch brought by all in a peaceful and mindful setting "

Suzanne : "I am a beginner at yoga, but at the same time I was eager and willing to learn. The other participants were much more experienced than I was, but I was able to go at my own pace. I experienced a lot of pleasure and satisfaction in “mastering” most of the positions and exercises. I felt supported, and I shared an experience of wellness with the others – this was the “real thing.” Miguel is highly qualified and
gifted to encourage and guide participants at their own level. After our meal, meditation and massage, the day came to a peaceful end. I took away a lot of good feelings. I felt centered and ready to re-focus on what is really important. My body felt relaxed and healed in some respects. I would definitely recommend this Urban Restart Retreat."

Citlali : "I am very pleased with the day of yoga and meditation that Jackie and Miguel we have proposed. I experienced a feeling of peace and serenity what stayed with me several days. For me it’s vital to give myself a space to reconnect with my body and my mind, something that is sometimes not so obvious when you have small children. I enjoyed the atmosphere full of kindness and sharing. A big thank you to Miguel, Jackie and the girls who shared me this experience."
