So much of life asks you to keep moving—to care for the people who depend on you, meet your responsibilities, and turn your attention toward whatever comes next. Somewhere within all of that, it can become easy to lose touch with yourself.
Fall in Love With Yourself Again is an invitation to step away from the noise and spend an afternoon listening inward. Through movement, yoga, breathwork, reflection, nourishment, sound, and connection, you’ll have space to slow down and notice what you need.
You don’t need to prepare or perform. Simply come as you are and leave feeling grounded, renewed, and more deeply connected to yourself.
An Invitation to Return to Yourself
A WOMEN’S AUTUMN RETREAT
Jennifer will guide you through an accessible yoga practice shaped by more than 30 years of teaching experience. With intuition, warmth, humor, and care, she creates space for you to listen to your body and connect with what may be happening beneath the surface.
Gentle Hatha Yoga
Explore simple movement inspired by ballet, modern dance, and Nia. Through circular movement, use of space, rhythm, groove, and voice, Melinda will invite you to meet your body where it is while gently exploring what might exist beyond the familiar.
There are no complicated steps to learn and no expectations to meet—only music, movement, and the freedom to find your own rhythm.
Grounding Movement + Embodiment
Your Retreat Experience Includes:
Step into a quieter rhythm through guided movement and reflection, allowing your thoughts to settle and your inner voice to become a little easier to hear.
Reflective Walking Meditation
Pause and gather around a nourishing meal, thoughtfully included as part of your afternoon together.
Nourishing Lunch
Slow down, become present, and create space within through intentional breathing practices designed to settle the nervous system and deepen your connection with yourself.
Guided Breathwork
You’ll have time to reflect, journal, connect, and gently integrate what the day has opened for you—without rushing back into the outside world.
Integration + Connection
Rest into the healing resonance of sound and vibration as Melinda guides you through an immersive experience designed to encourage relaxation, release, and renewal.
Immersive Sound Journey
Melinda has spent more than 25 years exploring movement, dance, sound, and embodied presence.
Her relationship with movement began naturally through her Mexican roots—at weddings, family gatherings, and anywhere music invited people to get up and dance. She later studied modern dance, ballet, and Nia, each adding another layer to her understanding of how movement can help us connect with our bodies, one another, and our own rhythm.
Today, Melinda weaves together movement, sound, and presence to create experiences that feel welcoming, freeing, and deeply human. Her work is grounded in a simple belief: movement isn’t about getting the steps right. It’s about giving yourself permission to listen, express, and take up space.

Meet Your Facilitators
Jennifer brings more than 30 years of teaching experience, intuitive wisdom, warmth, and humor to her practice.
Her classes reach beyond poses and physical movement. She has an incredible ability to read the room—to know when to challenge, when to soften, when to make you laugh, and when something needs your attention.
Jennifer and Melinda first met in a yoga class in 2005. When Melinda opened her wellness center, The Core, in 2007, Jennifer became an integral part of that chapter. More than 20 years later, their friendship, shared intuition, and wonderfully similar frequency remain.
Creating this retreat together feels like a story coming full circle—a day built from decades of experience, friendship, and a whole lot of heart.
