Hi there— I’m Emma! I’m a 500HR registered yoga teacher, trained on the sacred island of O’ahu, Hawai’i, dedicated to sharing deeply transformative practices that nurture your mental, emotional, and energetic well-being.

Yoga, beyond its physical benefits, offers profound opportunities to care for your mental health. It’s a powerful tool to add to your self-care toolkit, guiding you back to your most authentic self time and time again.

In combination with mental health frameworks, such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) and somatic experiencing, the Soften & Receive retreat offers a non-judgmental, supportive space where participants can explore their inner ecosystem with curiosity and compassion.

Led by a dedicated team of yoga instructors and licensed mental health professionals, this retreat is grounded in the belief that well-being stems from both personal care AND community support. Our hope is to create an accessible opportunity for participants to experience the healing power of yoga retreats — without needing to invest thousands of dollars or travel to faraway destinations.

Participants will explore mental health practices, discover new tools for nervous system regulation, and deepen their yoga practice. Through experiential workshops, mindful movement accessible to all bodies, and meaningful conversation, we aim to build a more connected community that prioritizes mental wellness.

We live in a society that tells us to do more to be more. This retreat is a radical opportunity to shift out of hustle culture and grant yourself permission to soften, receive, and embrace yourself exactly as you are.

It would be an honor to hold space for you on this sacred day of collective healing.

With gratitude,

Emma
