Wow the retreat experience was amazing Soul Lines was awesome!

October 8, 2013

The Scoop on Soul Lines Wellness Retreat Autumn made a bold appearance to our Island town Victorians they were forced to trek through yet another wet morning, however not all of us decided to end our weekend with a sigh. A group of ladies decided that their life was more than another wet Sunday, the ladies decided that they would get up and drive to find a happier, stronger and more balanced life including a cozy fireplace! Soul Lines unfolded exquisitely, and we couldn’t wait to tell you all about it! Yoga translates “to unite” , and that is why we formatted this dedicated day for wellness to kick off with a morning wake up 75 minutes Yoga Class. As people arrived they took off there rain gear, and assumed everyone’s dream on a wet Sunday, comfort by the fire. Turning up the relaxation to start off with a nice gentle Hatha class, a class Ajia designed for everyone’s specific needs, a flow to leave no one feeling confused or uninspired… finishing with nothing more than a clean slate to there mindset, a refreshing detoxed body, and a new connection to the people around them. Ajia managed to debunk all the modern day stigmas around Yoga, assemble the differences between the types and who they are appropriate for, show us what is really happening within our mind, body and breath during and after our practice. Giving us ammunition to either be confident with our current practice, and have a deeper understanding of Yoga, or know where to start off with our unique yogic path!

There is no limit to our imagination weather our thoughts were proactive towards a healthy kitchen or a straight up excuse, Sandra Froher debunked all of our fake truths around our nutrition, eating habits, and grocery lists. Not only breaking wellness and exercise ‘myths’ and unsustainable eating patterns, but also showing us how we can stay consistently happy, healthy and feel fantastic about our decisions with her philosophy from ‘ Lean for Life Program’Back to Nature. Sharing financial ways to improve our pantries for our families as well, and why staying in the ‘in between‘ is what deep down seems to be torturing our society, not at all the faithful decision which is healthy mindful eating. As a sea of curious hands rises, Sandra broke down each ladies inquiry, only to break for lunch with a flood of inspiration and new appreciation for food! (Especially our spectacular organic salad)

We all knew that the beauty industry was flooded with false advertisements, photoshop and thousands of cosmetics to choose from. Julie Atkinson owner if New Look New Life broke it down we knew exactly what we were looking for and how to go about reaching our skin care goals. Julie’s approach is natural and simple. Julie’s down to earth yet professional personality was captivating the ladies as she spoke not only on new creative timeless looks for decades to come., but assuring us that some of the issues we were facing (with our skin) could be over come and we knew exactly where to go to for that non judgemental support. Julie educated on interesting facts towards skin care and all of our choices to remain youthful and tips on how to feel beautiful from the inside out . Leaving the retreat with a flood of new knowledge, a new understanding to current wellness and most of all knowing that the support is everywhere in our city!
