Umang’s Retreat Testimonial – By Elaine 3/29/14
“I have never attended a Retreat before and just started my yoga exercise journey approximately 12 months ago, very serious and dedicated for the past 8-9 months. I have seen my body transform to a leaner, stronger and toned version with generally healthy eating. I also experienced a calmer mind. as a connection to my body.
I first hesitated to join Umang’s Rereat but decided I needed some help to sort through some emotional and frustrating life challenges. After our first day of Retreat, , I felt so uplifted and relieved after meditating and learning ho to journal as writing down all of my life concerns, dreams and actions. After speaking with my daughter the first day, she could tell that I was so much calmer and content.
I made some wonderful new friends that opened their hearts and souls to me which I truly cherish.
I feel like I can take the tools I have learned in Umang’s Retreat to take the next step out of my emotional grief and accomplish my life dreams.
Thank you to my wonderful new friends.”

“I went on Umang’s Wellness Haven 2014 Spring Retreat to San Damiano in Danville, CA and had a wonderful time! In addition to some powerful yoga sessions, I had some great breakthroughs during our journaling sessions. I now have an action plan to follow. The intimate setting let me get to know some great omen I look forward to counting as friends. Thank you Umang for this opportunity. Deborah”

for Wellness Haven Spring Cleans Yoga Retreat – The Journey Within/Manifesting Your Dreams, Fri Mar 28 Sat, Mar 29
“I attended Umang’s Spring Cleansing Yoga Retreat with Umang and other wonderful ladies. We were focused on using journaling to help us start manifesting our dreams. This was an awesome experience, helping me find a doable, actionable path back to my dream. A path back to the song of my soul. Thank you, Umang, you are awesome, like a hummingbird dancing in the sky. Love you, Sara”
WHY RETREAT?
Going on a retreat simply means taking time away from your daily hectic life and activities, away from the daily responsibilities of your family, away from your job, away from situations you are unable to get away from and away from the stresses of daily life into peace and calm, and tranquility for a day or two or more. It is a time for reflection, an opportunity to examine the quality of your spiritual life, a time for purification and a time for inner growth, a time to enable awakening. This is a time to start what may not have been possible otherwise!
At the retreat, the emphasis is on a healthy lifestyle in regard to exercise, meditation, breathing, food, relaxation and good company (Satsang) and learning new life meanings. It provides an opportunity to explore the dimensions of the Self that remains hidden. It provides nourishment to the Soul that everyone needs in the absence of everyday concerns.
Wellness Haven philosophy is HEALTH in every possible way and a RETREAT is the way that empowers you to open up your inner being.
