Oh amazing people to share it with! DONE.
Imagine yourself in Ericeira, Portugal, where the rugged coastline meets the deep blue Atlantic Ocean, and the charming streets of this adorable town that used to be a historic fishing village now boasts cafes and amazing restaurants. Now imagine sharing this experience with others who also want meaningful and heartfelt conversations, to move their bodies every day, eat amazing food, hike along the coast and explore the super cute town.

I’ve been fortunate to join in on 3 retreats so far (Costa Rica, Morocco, Bali). This woman, Lauren, yoga instructor, entrepreneur, (many more ‘hats’ to add) will lead you on the most transformative experience -I guarantee it.

Lauren is one of those women you meet and you just go: d a m n. She has so much fire within her, and she exudes that into the world to help curate her dream life, and to help others do that for themselves. She is another woman who really embodies the narrative of lifting others while we climb. I saw so much of the mantras I hold dear to my heart reflected back in hers. Self love. Growth. Persistence. Celebration of self + others. Divine femininity. She embodies all of this and so much more…

“A six-day yoga retreat with Lauren Rudick – the twinkly eyed Canadian renowned for her practical and light-hearted approach to the discipline promised everything I could of wished for. Meditation, yoga and travel in a city bursting with magic and mystery. There was also a chance of meeting ten other women with the same interests, who like me were on a mission to find more balance in their lives. I had no idea what the journey would entail but this was the challenge. Instinct told me to take a leap of faith… ….Lauren’s main goal is to practice love while practicing yoga – something she radiates in every form from the moment she wakes up in the morning – and to push your-self without punishing yourself.”
