Hey there! I’m KC of AcuYogini. I teach yoga and do bodywork to empower people. I believe the world needs more people that are confident and compassionate. That is why my yoga classes are accessible for everyone: they are about how the form arises from you…from the inside out, rather than imposing a form from the outside in. Yes, you’ll learn alignment…and you’ll learn how to flow through your yoga in an organic, fluid, way to discover your inner teacher! Learn more about me and my work at: https://www.acuyogini.com/

KC's Yin retreat was just perfect! I met so many lovely women and ate the most delicious food all weekend. Between the yin, journaling, the sound bath, yoga nidra, drumming, and simply being in a beautiful setting with like minded individuals, I felt more relaxed than I have in a long, long time. Everything about this trip was magical. So much thought and care went into every detail. Every activity flowed beautifully into the next and I will be coming back every year going forward! Absolutely wonderful! Thank you, KC and friends for creating such a restful experience!

This retreat exceeded all of my expectations. The Yin Yoga, drum circle!, sound healing, and Yoga Nidra blew my mind. Everything was five-star stellar. The food menu was to die for as they catered to everyone’s needs: vegan, meat eaters, gluten free, nothing was missed by the caterers. My heart was so full of joy. ~Bridget Q. Folsom, CA

The retreat was so relaxing and truly special. The use of indoor and outdoor spaces was enjoyable. Being in the middle of nature enhanced the experience. The sense of self-connection encouraged through the yin, yoga nidra, relaxation, sound healing, and drumming circle was unique. The meals were fantastic, fresh, and always available for all eating styles. I highly recommend this retreat for anyone who needs to slow down, unplug, and go inward. Thank you, KC!
