As spring awakens and life begins again, so too are we invited to step into a softer, more open version of ourselves. We experience a sense of renewal not just in nature, but in the heart. Spring teaches us that growth does not need force, we bloom naturally, we align with our natural rhythm, and we remember universal love for all that exists.
This Bhakti Mini Retreat is a gentle, devotional immersion designed to help you shed the heaviness of winter and step into the lightness of your heart. Embrace the practice of rooting in the present moment nourishing your heart and soul. Become aware of your inherent strength and softness as you connect to your innermost wisdom returning to the true power of the heart and uniting with love as a living practice.
Come as you are.
Leave lighter, open-hearted, and rejoined to what truly matters.
Expect a soulful blend of
Gentle yoga asana with assists to awaken the body and clear stagnant energy
Devotional practices like mantra chanting and breathwork rooted in gratitude, surrender, and love
Guided meditation/yoga nidra, and sacred intention to align with universal guidance
Reiki and subtle energy work to support emotional and energetic rebirth
Restorative yoga, moments of reflection and rest, allowing integration and inner listening
Sound healing to attune to harmony and renewal
The mini retreat will end with a meal, conversation, and connection to foster closer bonds with our community

Claudia’s heart beats for the love of life. In her view, various yoga practices support us in releasing old patterns. They can help us to reconnect with that little something deep inside, that we might have lost sight of but that feels very familiar and known when rediscovered. The practices of Bhakti Yoga cracked her heart open and
allowed her own light to peek out into the world. For her credentials please click:
