How I Reconnected with My Inner Goddess at The Great Emptying Out Retreat

October 5, 2016 by Guest Author Leave a Comment

By Victoria Bruce I first stumbled across the 2016 Great Emptying Out Yoga Retreat on Facebook and after reading the theme of the retreat – Self-Love – I knew I needed to attend. Why?

The Sacred Feminine and Yoga: What does it mean? Part 1

April 29, 2013 by Guest Author Leave a Comment

Her inner strength radiates a divine light that transforms and supports everything around her." Writing about the topic of Sacred Feminine inspired me to reevaluate what it means to me and question how others view this subject? And what does this have to do with yoga anyways?
