THE exhale:
A spring retreat for women — movement, beauty, and breathing room.
MAY 8-10, 2026
What to Expect
THE EXHALE is designed to offer a true break from everyday life — with movement, beauty, meaningful conversation, and room to breathe. Nothing is rushed. Just a simple rhythm of yoga, connection, nourishing food, and spacious time for yourself.
❋ Intentional Flow
We move through the weekend with intention — a gentle rhythm of yoga, guided experiences, and open pockets of spacious rest. The pace is soft and nourishing, never rushed, never over-scheduled. You’ll always feel held and oriented, while still having the freedom to listen deeply to your body and follow what it needs.
❋ Shared Connection
Connection unfolds naturally here. You can be social, quiet, curious, tender, or reflective — and you still belong. You’re invited to show up exactly as you are, and to let relationships form in their own timing, without pressure or expectation.
❋ Thoughtful Guidance
Each session is guided with deep care, clarity, and respect for your body. You’ll be offered grounded, body-based practices — accessible for all levels — that invite you back home to yourself. There is no pushing, performing, or proving. Only permission, curiosity, and supportive guidance.
❋ A Supportive Atmosphere
Imagine soft spaces, nourishing meals, warm light, and a community that feels safe to exhale in. This retreat is designed to hold you — gently. It is a place where you can arrive tired, unsure, emotional, excited, healing, growing — and still feel welcomed, seen, and cared for.
Reconnect with your body and mind as you escape the noise of everyday life.
Day One
Arrive & Meet
As you arrive, there’s no rush. Drop your bags, find your room, take a breath, and ease your way into the weekend. This is your time — to land, soften, and begin to connect with the space and one another.
Check-In & Settle
3:00–4:30pm
Find your room, unpack a little, wander the property, take in the view.
Welcome Tea + Light Treats
Welcome Circle. Grazing Board + Mocktaills
4:30–6:00pm
We’ll settle in together, enjoy light bites, and move through a gentle opening circle. You’ll have the chance (if you’d like) to introduce yourself, land in the space, and set a personal intention for the weekend — all at your own pace.
Dinner with Chef Crystal
6:00pm
Evening Ground + Restore
8:00pm
A slow, nourishing practice designed to help your body unwind from travel and settle into the weekend. Expect gentle movement, long supported poses, warm lighting, and deep rest — the kind that helps your whole system exhale.

Sauna, hot tub, cold plunge, quiet conversation under the stars — or slipping into bed early.
End the day in whatever way feels nourishing for your body.
Day Two
MOVE, EXPLORE & NOURISH
We ease into the morning together — warm drinks, sunlight, and space to arrive fully. From there, the day unfolds with movement, time outdoors, hands-on learning, and generous rest. You’ll feel supported, engaged, and free — all at the same time.

Unwind beneath the night sky — quiet, grounding, and deeply calming.

About Your Guide
Hi — I’m Megan.
I’ve spent the past decade supporting women through seasons of growth, transition, and motherhood — helping them return home to themselves through yoga, ritual, somatic work, and community.
What I love most is creating spaces that feel warm and deeply human — spaces where your nervous system can soften, your body is trusted, and you’re invited to move at your own pace.
This retreat is an extension of my own life practice:
slowing down, tending to what matters, listening inward, and remembering that we don’t have to hold everything alone.
My hope is that the experience doesn’t end when the weekend does.
That what we practice here — a softer pace, deeper breath, and space to listen inward — becomes something you can return to when life starts moving fast again.
A gentle reminder that you don’t have to rush through your life.
I’m so honored to host you.
With love,
Megan
Where WE’ll Be
Thoughtfully crafted to elevate what matters most.
We’ll gather at a private hacienda tucked into the quiet hills of Corral de Tierra — surrounded by vineyards, oak trees, and open sky.
It feels peaceful here.
Soft mornings. Golden light. Evenings that stretch out slowly, where conversations linger and time moves differently.
Cozy corners for tea, sun-warmed patios for resting, and wide open views that invite your body to exhale. A pool, sauna, and hot tub are available if you feel called to soak and unwind.
This space holds us gently — so you don’t have to work so hard to “relax.”
Just arrive, and let your nervous system begin to settle.

If the retreat fills and there is still interest, we may open a nearby second home — The Vineyard House — just a short walk away. It’s cozy, peaceful, and offers a little extra privacy, while you still participate fully in every meal, class, and circle.
The Vineyard House can comfortably sleep up to 6 additional guests.
Bedroom layout:

If additional lodging becomes available, we’ll place guests thoughtfully so everything still feels connected and easeful.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Check-in begins at 3:00 PM on May 8th, 2026
You’ll have time to settle in, breathe, wander the grounds, and ease into the space before our opening circle that evening.
-
Check-out is at 12:00 PM on May 10th.
You’re welcome to linger for a slow goodbye, take one last walk, or head out earlier if that feels best. We intentionally end at midday so you have spacious travel time — and, if it matters to you, room to enjoy the rest of the day however you choose.
-
Nope. Everything we’ll do is gentle, invitational, and accessible. You always get to choose what feels right in your own body. Resting is always welcome.
-
Absolutely. Many women come solo — and often leave with new friendships, connection, and a sense of belonging.
Sharing a room — or even a bed — with someone you already know is also an option, and it lowers the per-person cost. If you’re planning to come with a friend, just let me know when you register.
-
Think: cozy and comfortable.
Bring clothes you can move in, layers for changing weather, a swimsuit if you love hot tubs or pools, walking shoes, toiletries, and anything that helps you unwind (journal, book, favorite tea, etc.). We’ll send a full packing list in your welcome packet.
-
We’ll be nourishing you with simple, beautiful meals prepared with love. If you have allergies or sensitivities, just let me know ahead of time and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
-
Yes — we’ll be offering thoughtfully-paired wine with our dinners for those who’d like to enjoy a glass. Everything about the retreat is centered around nourishment and grounding, so alcohol is optional and always in moderation. You’re equally welcome to skip it if that feels better for your body.
-
A non-refundable deposit holds your spot.
Full payment is due 60 days before the retreat.
Because spaces are limited and arrangements are made well in advance, payments are non-refundable. If you can’t attend, you’re welcome to transfer your spot to another participant (just let me know so we can update details).
If you feel the tug — the quiet yes — this retreat was created with you in mind.
Choose your room, reserve your spot, and I’ll take care of the rest.
