Nicole + Cara are thrilled to return to Xinalani to offer another joyful retreat! They have been teaching yoga for over a decade combined. Based out of Chicago, they have a vast range of trainings and knowledge (Reiki, prenatal, nidra, meditation, trauma informed, accessible, Ayurveda, etc.) between the two of them that they cannot wait to share with retreat goers.

Truly the best self-care I have done in my life. I would recommend this to anyone even remotely curious. Nicole and Cara help carve out an experience that truly is Sun. Joy. Yoga. It is like the best summer camp I have ever particiapted in and it's in the dead of Chicago winter when many, including myself, are in the thick of just getting through each week.
