I had an amazing experience at Namaste in Nature's yoga retreat. The weekend went so smoothly, and…read morewas such a treat to my body, mind, and spirit. Not only did I learn new yoga techniques and meet new, like-minded people, the location of the retreat was perfect! Miranda had clearly thought of each and every detail, allowing us to have some time each day - individual or group - in the surrounding nature - from streams to a hike guided by a local, to the grounds of the retreat center. Namaste in Nature's micro-retreats to guided hikes/yoga experieces are amazing as well. It's a great way to explore an area of WNC in full! Namaste in Nature has already researched the best driving route, the best time to go to avoid crowds on the trail, the hidden "pool" off the trail, the best photo opps, and more. Leave it to the experts at Namaste in Nature to maximize your time in Western North Carolina! You will be delighted!

Yes, my cousin brought cookies, hats and a candle from my mom and sister, and there was singing after yoga. Amy was in charge of our small group and made it a fantastic experience. She took photos of us too and made sure we had the best shots (and accommodated our suggestions). Doing yoga and then staring up into the blue sky surrounded by perfectly colored trees, oh so idyllic. Please, please do this if you were thinking about it. It's well worth your time and money.

I was surprised by how much I was able to remember! We uncovered another related life as well that really surprised me and shed more light on the gifts that I had buried long ago as a protective measure. Even recently, months later, I found the information I received in that session is still unraveling and serving my highest good. I highly recommend working with Paige if you're at all interested in uncovering how your past lives are influencing you today!
