Prana Retreats

Hello friends!
I know it has been a while since my last blog. I have been around and writing, but for magazines and other blogs. I have also been working hard to plant the seeds for two companies that have been my dream to establish.  Yes, a dream to be a  yoga-preneur!!
Prana Retreats is officially established!!!The first retreat in September was a HUGE success, and I am GRATEFUL for the continued support and inner-will that keeps me moving towards fulfilling my dreams.

Here is an article I wrote for Parvati On-line magazine on Prana Retreats and all that we offer.

The next Prana Retreats held in a BEAUTIFUL cottage (near Georgian Bay) are set for:
March 29 - 31 - Yoga and Juice Detox Retreat (Perfect time of year!)
September 6 - 8 -  Yoga (Vinyasa Flow/Yin yoga) and RAW food

Do you have a dream? Is there something you have always wanted to do or try? My best advice...take a DEEP breath, set an intention, and take the first step. Leave your comfort zone and take a risk. You will never know unless you try.

I will be more regular with my posts. Sharing my fave raw foods and recipes, and health and yoga tips.
Stay tuned for more from Yogini Ella!

Much LOVE and Abundance,
Ella
