You guys...I just returned from the most amazing 5-day weekend yoga retreat in Mexico with some of the most influential women I've met. Im not talking famous actors, New York Times authors, or CEO Boss Babes for Fortune 500 companies (I mean, they could have been, but honestly, we didn't get that far.) I'm talking about women, similar in age, like minded, singles, moms, wives who serve their community, who run small businesses, who kick ass at running their homes and families. It was physically challenging, spiritually moving, and insightfully connecting.

We did yoga twice a day for 4 days. We bathed in an hour of sound chimes and gongs at sunset. We practiced gratitude and forgiveness. We thanked ourselves and each other for being present. Then we ate some of the most delicious and healthiest Mexican food and sipped Mezcalitas. We surfed, walked along the beach, watched the whales swim and play in the sunshine in the sea as far as the eye could see. We lounged by the pool and caught up on our reading. We soaked up the sun (maybe a bit too much). We stayed up way too late by the fire telling captivating stories about our lives. And people listened. We laughed so hard our abs got a workout. Oh, and I got to spend 5 uninterrupted days with one of my BFFS!. We went home feeling connected and inspired. And we had all met 4 days prior for the first time. In fact, one of my 12-year olds responded to my Instagram story "I am starting to think you are not actually doing yoga"

The last few days, I have been playing this Spotify Playlist by Courtney Harris (our fearless yoga leader) every morning after I drop my kiddos to school. It is quiet in my house. I like it quiet. But music can keep us connected to ourselves and moments. I loved my time in Mexico with my impromptu tribe and a yoga teacher who was so dialed into what her yogis needed. I am sharing her playlist so maybe it will help take you away to that special place mentally and lighten your load daily.
