Sheryl and Brooke met through a mutual friend in 2016 and it was like a familiar feeling of coming home! They are both “old school” yoginis dedicated to the practices and in the field professionally for over 25 years. They are delighted and inspired to be collaborating on this retreat together to offer you a once in a lifetime experience held in the beautiful Green Mountain state.
