Yoga Retreats
Throughout the year, South River Yoga will be hosting several retreats ranging from 1/2 day, 1 day, to full weekend retreats, and even destination retreats! Retreats offer you the opportunity to disconnect from the stress and distractions of everyday life, devote time to deepening your practice and learning of Yoga, meditation and Ayurveda, allow time for self-reflection and growth, get out in nature, and connect with a special community of yogis and form new friendships! We hope you’ll treat yourself and join us in an upcoming retreat!
The Goddess Retreat
Fierce Grace: Awakening the Elements Within
Led by Annie Geile, Cindy Kostecki, and Betty Green
Saturday
September 26th, 2026
9am - 5pm
Robertsville, MO
This Is Not Your Typical Yoga Retreat!
This is a full-day immersion into the wild, wooded heart of nature, where you'll move through four sacred practices, each one guided by the energy of a Hindu goddess and rooted in one of the four elements.
Annie, Cindy, and Betty will lead you through a day designed to crack you open in the best possible way. You'll leave feeling something you haven't felt in a while: fiercely, unapologetically connected to who you really are.
There's a version of you that's been waiting to come alive.
She's grounded like the earth beneath your bare feet. She flows like water, open and ready to receive. She burns with the kind of courage that can't be taught, only remembered. And when she opens her mouth, her voice shakes something loose in the universe.
That's the goddess in you. And she's ready.

🜃 Earth · Parvati
Grounding & Strength: We begin where all things begin: rooted in the ground. Parvati, daughter of the mountain, teaches us that real strength isn't loud. It's steady. It's patient. It's showing up, again and again. You'll connect with the earth beneath you through a grounding yoga practice surrounded by the trees, letting nature hold you as you arrive fully into this day.
🜄 Water · Lakshmi
Flow & Abundance: Lakshmi invites us to stop white-knuckling our way through life and learn to receive. This flowing practice is about softening, opening, and trusting that abundance isn't something you chase. It's something you allow. Let the energy of water wash through you and remind you what it feels like to be in flow.
🜂 Fire · Durga
Courage & Power: Here's where it gets fierce. Durga is the warrior goddess, the one who rides into battle on a lion and doesn't flinch. This powerful practice is about burning through the stories, the doubts, and the "I can'ts" that have been holding you back. You'll move through fire and come out lighter on the other side.
🜁 Air · Saraswati
Wisdom & Voice: We close the day together. You’ll be led through a bhakti-inspired chanting practice and sound bath that will lift everything you've built throughout the day and send it skyward. Saraswati is the goddess of wisdom, music, and creative expression. This is where your voice joins with others, and something sacred happens in that space between the notes.

The Luminous Embrace
For the woman who holds everyone else. This week, we hold her.
January 21st - January 28th, 2028
Caribbean Paradise Island, Belize
For six nights on an exclusive private island in the Caribbean, you will find yourself surrounded by turquoise water, warm salt air, and a small circle of women who have all arrived at the same crossroads. Here, the noise of the world fades. You will be supported by the rhythm of the tides, the depth of the practice, and the company of those who “just get it.” The Luminous Embrace is exactly that: a full, unhurried, and unapologetic reclamation of your own light in a place that asks nothing of you except that you show up and receive.
