THE SWEET SURRENDER
A 3-Day, 6-Class Yoga Retreat with Denise Hopkins & Leslie Pearlman
Forrest Yoga | Ceremony | Soul Work
July 18 - 20, 2025
Come home to your body, feel what’s true, and soften into the strength of who you really are.
What if surrender is actually the most courageous, life-affirming act we can choose?
There is a pleasure—a deep, primal pleasure—in finally letting go of what we've been gripping. The breath we didn’t know we were holding. The tension we learned to normalize. The story that no longer fits.
In Forrest Yoga, we don’t chase flexibility. We chase feeling. And in feeling fully, we find freedom.
Join us for a deeply embodied weekend of Forrest Yoga, sacred ceremony, and soulful transformation.
The Sweet Surrender is a 3-day retreat to help you come home to your body, feel what’s true, and soften into the strength of who you really are.
What’s Included:
-
6 transformational yoga classes (2 per day) led by Denise & Leslie
-
Therapy ball rolling sprinkled in to unwind tight spots and downregulate the nervous system
-
Daily morning ceremonies with journaling, breathwork, and intention-setting
-
Come for one session, a full day, or dive into the whole weekend
