While we love our Chicago summers, we admit we need an escape from the winters here. This is why we try to plan a yoga retreat each winter for around January or February - so we can take a tropical vacation with you, our yoga buddies! Coming up in 2025, we will retreating to El Salvador. It is a new destination for us, and we are very excited for what we have planned!
