By Team THORI was intimidated to go on a yoga retreat. I thought I would be the oldest (I was) and the most out of shape (again I was). I was concerned I would not be able to keep up and basically feel ridiculous. Terry and her team, for us that was Kara her daughter and Laura, the morning yoga instructor, are welcoming and truly want you to have an amazing experience. They made my fears disappear. Don’t bother being intimidated. It is a waste of worry. The setting is serene and you will have down time for yourself to read, hike, practice yoga, draw, nap etc. We went on 3 hikes, around a lake and to 2 gorgeous waterfalls. You can choose what activities you want to partake in. Make it yours. We had women of different ages, backgrounds who had never met and had the most wonderful conversations over 3 healthy meals a day.
