There are many reasons to give yourself the gift of a Not Your Guru Retreat.

These are our top 3!

Discover Your Holistic Best Practices

Not Your Guru Retreats offers education for life. Every individual is unique in their own journey, so the most powerful thing one can achieve is a deeper understanding and connection to self. We are not your guru; and no one should be. This is why we offer a range of modalities and courses taught by experts across such practices as yoga, pilates, nutrition, meditation, and functional training, so you can discover what resonates best with your body and lifestyle.

Connection to Self, Others, and Nature

How many people spend their days looking right through other people? Remove yourself from the toxicity of every day life, and take the time to connect to yourself, others, and nature. Connection and presence are essential for cultivating inner peace, fostering meaningful relationships, and experiencing the profound beauty of the natural world. Encountering other like-minded individuals in a serene retreat setting not only encourages camaraderie but also provides opportunities for shared growth, support, and inspiration.

About Me

I grew up using physicality and exercise as a way to manage my early childhood trauma. My entire life is a journey of personal healing after a tragedy that rocked my family when I was young.

I got professionally involved in the world of fitness and development coaching at the age of 23 in 2010.

It wasn’t until I learned how connected my emotional body and physical body are, and what it means to nourish these two bodies, that I learned to thrive in my circumstances.
