Women's Moon Cycle & Yoga Retreat

with Niki Hildahl - Master of Yoga & Massage

Are you trying to find your inner balance? Do you want to let go of the old mindset and start fresh into spring?

For thousands of years women have had a special connection with the moon. Back in the day women's cycle was completely oriented with the moon phase but in our busy life we lost this connection.

During this retreat Niki will teach how to get back to inner calmness and how to understand the different moon phases. You will learn how yoga poses can make you feel more balanced during stressful times, how to feel better during a woman's menstrual period and how to turn sad, negative emotions into positive and faithful ones. Also get to know the right food and recipes that will help you and your body respond better through the cycle. Did you know some food can make your headache worse during your menstruation? Will share with you why!

Why this retreat?

• Understand the connection between women and moon cycles and why we feel different if the moon is full or empty.
• Learn how can you integrate the moon phases in your yoga routine and how can it help to manifest your dreams and let them become real.
• Experience ways to deepen your relationship with yourself (feminine power) and the moon (lunar energy).
• Start journaling, meditating and creating artwork following the different moon cycles.
• Build friendships and community by empowering yourself and other women.
• Take home your own MOON CARDS with special MOON YOGA POSES and other important facts that will guide you through the next moon cycle (included in the price).

About Niki

Forever a student of yoga, bodywork, and life; Niki´s journey in to the ever exciting, challenging, yet rewarding world of health and wellness began in 2005 after returning from an adventurous year travelling abroad. Impulsively enrolling in school for massage therapy as well as attending her first yoga class the same year, Niki quickly realized this was not just another spontaneous, short lived experience, but rather a life calling.

From owning a small business to working alongside chiropractors and professionals athletes, High end resorts and spas to the humble jungles and small islands throughout Central America, Niki´s passion for bodywork, yoga and all things healing for the soul, mind, body continues to grow more and more each day. Her desire is not simply to ´´help´´others, but to inspire anyone around her to continuously live their fullest life through the healing art of yoga, massage, and meditation.

When not practicing yoga or massage, you most likely can find Niki biking with her super cool dog or enjoying a glass of wine with her equally super cool family or friends, or simply alone with her records. A lover of poetry, quotes and all forms of writing from the likes of Rumi or Rilke to the differing Bukowski and Hunter S. Thompson, she leaves you with this:

“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, throughly used up, totally worn out loud proclaiming “Wow! What a ride!”. Hunter S. Thompson
