Exactly what I Needed At this moment in my life, this retreat was exactly the medicine I needed. I had moments of hesitation but leaned into them. I have loved it and will cherish the trust and love grown here. I laid my soul open in order to rearrange, learn, and grow. The healers me gracefully through some tough terrain and we came out the other side softer, warmer, wiser and more in touch with our own soul voice. There was no wrong way to do anything and i was encouraged to explore - words, phrases. They helped me get more out of this week than I imagined I was capable of. Definitely a 'work of heart.' Healing Body Energy is healing and truly a wonder. I’m taking my life back. My heart. My soul. Jump in with your full heart. Your life is waiting for you inside!"

I Found Peace I found peace, connection, strength and validation this week. The setting could not have been more magical or more conducive to soul-searching, serenity and reflection. The exercises were well-balanced with sharing, and the circles were well-balanced with other activities that enabled inner and outer self-expression. The healers are so intuitive, patient, and receptive. They know exactly how to give people a safe place, challenge their mindsets without pushing too hard. They really see each heart and it’s amazing to watch them respond, give support, and show love. Thank you for asking me to question my self-doubt, rethink my resistance, challenge my interpretations of what is good, bad, black, or white. Thank you telling me to erase “perhaps”, “maybe” and “sorry” from our speech. If you are feeling lost and you need to see beauty inside and outside yourself again, embark on this journey. It only requires you to be present and bring a pen. The rest is up to you as far as what you want to express, share and experience. If you’re brave enough to give it your all, you will be changed."

Update to my previous review: Update to my previous review: Update to my previous review. It has been over 5 months, and this business has not resolved the issue nor refunded me any amount. Furthermore, I've realized that the person I thought I was communicating with ("Sheila Syngal") is actually a fake person they made up, using a stock image of Sonia Syngal, ex CEO of GAP INC. In reality, I have been speaking directly to the Alysia Kaempf, the "CEO" (look her up on Linkedin and Facebook..) To note, BookYogaRetreats.com has also dodged my calls, and are complicit in working with a scam business. Pls avoid giving any money to this business. Your safety is at risk.

I needed this retreat so bad thank god… I needed this retreat so bad thank god for HealingBodyEnergy I just knew this would be an important experience for my personal journey. Little did I know what an understatement that would be! It was life-changing. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt so seen, heard, and supported. The commentary and encouragement that arose from the sharing of our deepest truths was intelligent, constructive, and empowering. To be able to share and receive such supportive, thoughtful feedback is a gift everyone deserves to experience. The rewards I left this retreat with are immeasurable and beyond dear to my heart. There are major milestones in life that are so much sweeter when shared; this retreat is the perfect example. Together, we were encouragers, empathizers, enliveners, inspirations, and mirrors to each other. Priyananda is a special soul; his heart shines through in everything he does. His unapologetic, genuine pursuit of the truth is the backbone behind this powerhouse of a program. In his presence, you will be blessed with his warmth, wisdom. As we were packing up to leave, I wrote “How has it been a week already? How has it only been a week?” Pieces of my heart will forever live with these people , but not in a way that feels like I’m leaving something nonrenewable behind. I feel that with every piece I’ve left, something greater has been gifted to me in return. For anyone who is reading this and thinking “Should I take the leap?” Do it. You will be caught and brought home to a personal reality greater than you can imagine... if you’re ready to do the work! This is not a journey for the faint of heart; to be present with yourself, to dedicate this effort, this time for yourself, takes a brave soul ready for transformation. To the people who stumble upon this retreat, you are being called. You’re meant to be here."

My birthday gift to myself I felt such a sense of comfort in this week. It was above and beyond anything I could have imagined. Knowing I had a safe space to open up (and be filled) with no judgment was a beautiful reminder The yoga was stellar and really inspired me to go deeper into my practice.. I’ll take away that I AM ENOUGH. That so many people deal with the same self-degradation, and we have to inspire and empower one another. Get ready to have your heart blow right open, , to clear creative blockages, and to unlock your potential."
