Morning Retreat
There’s something deeply healing about slowing down enough to notice what’s around us. The warmth of the sun, the movement of the trees, the rhythm of the breath, the feeling of being fully present in our bodies again.
This Morning Retreat is an invitation to step away from the busyness of daily life and spend intentional time connecting with yourself and the natural world.
What to Expect
Outdoor Yoga
Begin the morning with grounding outdoor yoga designed to awaken the body, connect with the breath, and invite a deeper sense of presence through mindful movement in nature.
Forest Bathing
Slow down and immerse yourself in the natural world through guided forest bathing invitations that encourage curiosity, sensory awareness, and meaningful connection with your surroundings.
Community Circle
We’ll close our morning gathered in community with refreshing beverages, light snacks, and space to reflect, connect, and simply enjoy the beauty of a slow morning together.
My hope is that you leave feeling grounded, nourished, and more deeply connected to yourself and the life unfolding around you.
Meet Your Guide
Krista Lindgren is a Registered Yoga Teacher, Breathwork Facilitator, Health and Wellness Coach, and Forest Bathing Guide who is passionate about helping people connect with themselves through mindful, embodied practices. In her free time, Krista can usually be found outside: hammock strung between the trees, paddle board on the water, wandering through the woods, or laughing with friends. Even as a child, nature was where she went to process life and feel grounded again. To this day, time outdoors continues to connect her back to herself, and she loves creating experiences that help others feel that same sense of belonging, presence, and ease.
