Why does happiness so often feel just out of reach? In her book The Kleshas: Exploring the Elusiveness of Happiness, Deborah Adele examines the five root causes of human suffering described in yoga philosophy and how they shape how we see ourselves and the world.

Drawing from the Yoga Sutras, Adele reveals how the kleshas create “appealing truths” that promise fulfillment yet keep us caught in cycles of dissatisfaction. She brings these ancient teachings into everyday life, offering accessible reflections and practical tools to loosen their grip.

Join us for this warm book study as we explore how the kleshas manifest in daily life and discover ways to live with greater clarity, freedom, and peace.

Open to all—no prior reading or background in yoga philosophy is needed. Together, we’ll gather in reflection and conversation, creating a supportive space for insight and growth.

What to Expect

• Interactive Sessions: Attend in person for a shared space of learning and reflection.

• Deep Exploration: Each month, we’ll focus on specific sections of the book, diving into topics such as practicing asana and pranayama, overcoming obstacles, and cultivating mindfulness.

• Practical Application: Explore how to embody the principles of yoga both on and off the mat.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re the only one dealing with bladder leaks, bowel changes, pelvic discomfort, or shifts in sexual function — you’re not. These concerns affect people of all ages, especially during menopause, andropause, postpartum recovery, and times of stress. But most of us aren’t taught how the pelvic floor actually works…or how to support it.

Join Anna Albrecht, DPT, Board Certified Pelvic Health Physical Therapist, for a warm, light-hearted, and deeply informative workshop that takes the embarrassment out of pelvic health. You’ll learn what’s normal, what’s common, and what’s treatable—along with practical tools you can start using right away.

Anna blends her expertise as a pelvic health PT, respiratory therapist, Stott Pilates instructor, and yoga teacher to meet every participant where they are. Expect a mix of gentle movement, breathwork, myofascial release education, and open conversation.

In this workshop, you’ll walk away with:

• A clear understanding of pelvic anatomy and how it influences bladder, bowel, and sexual health

• Simple breathing + movement techniques to improve comfort, confidence, and function

• Strategies for managing menopause-, andropause-, or postpartum-related changes

• Daily self-care practices that truly support long-term pelvic well-being

• The freedom to ask questions you’ve always wanted answered — in a supportive, judgment-free space

Bring your curiosity and your sense of humor. It’s time to talk openly and learn how pelvic health can transform your quality of life.

Embrace the Mystic Within

A Yoga Retreat Adventure in Turkey

We’ll have yoga classes, excursions, and the richness of the Mediterranean food prepared daily. Relax by the pool, hike the surrounding trails, and be willing to go deeper into a practice restoring the blessings of the female energy of Mary. The healing aspects of the Divine Mother await us as we venture into this healing land.

Using the practice of yoga and meditation, Laura Jane has designed this week to support you in exploring the tools of stilling the mind and embracing your authentic self. The yoga classes will blend the disciplines of vinyasa flow with a strong emphasis on pranayama and meditation to still the roaming mind, calm the system, and live in a state of balance. They will cover the fundamental principles underlying the therapeutic application of yoga and how to incorporate these principles into your practice. Work to dissolve old blockages, unravel samskaras, and create new pathways to vibrant health and happiness. The result will be one of the most incredible, unforgettable yoga experiences you will ever have.

This week is a perfect balance between rest and play. Laura has discovered through leading and attending many retreats that traveling together and saying yes to life and its opportunities in the moment create lasting friendships and a gratitude for life’s abundance that will last forever.

This yoga retreat is for all ages and all life experiences, including all levels of yoga practitioners, yoga teachers, and bodywork therapists.

Private yoga sessions will also be available.
