Breathe
The Pause Retreat
because sometimes, the biggest changes start with the smallest breaths
Now
Not even a moment to Breathe?
When you’re used to ‘go’ being your only speed...
The idea of slowing down can seem unthinkable and very uncomfortable. But what if taking two hours for yourself could actually fuel you to go further, faster? Just a short breather can fuel the energy, spark creativity, and bring the clarity that helps you truly thrive.

At the Retreat
What's it Like?
If you’re new to Breathwork you're probably wondering what it is. Breathwork is simply controlling your breath in patterns of rhythms and holds to leave you feeling clear, energized and relaxed. If you’ve ever thought you don’t have time to pause, and your mind is too crazy to meditate, this retreat is your chance to experience the power of pause and see how it can actually propel you forward.
The Whens and The Wheres!
The Pause is a 2-hour experience that can take place virtually or in-person for Connecticut locations. Locations can be decided on at your design session. 2 hours is the perfect amount of time to rejuvenate and escape without having to worry about what's been put on a brief pause.
What do we do?
We Breathe - Every retreat includes a 20-60 minute Soma Breath, teaching you to harness the power of your own breath to activate, peace, clarity and wellness. We will also curate a special combination of yoga, expressive art and journaling into your unique experience as it fits.
*(Don't worry no experience is required.)
Who attends?
Friends, family members, neighbors, co-workers, bride's maids, even offices and classrooms. The who is up to you.
Why Imagination?
Imagination is what stretches you beyond what is and brings you into the space of what could be. Through creative expression, movement and journaling you will wake up your imagination, let go and expand!
Luxury Add Ons
The Private retreat already promises a rest and reset that doesn't disappoint, but sometimes you want a little extra luxury. Add on options are available for refreshing mock-tails, tasty hors d'oeuvres, inspiring gift bags and after-retreat extensions such as breathwork recordings and customized yoga videos can be an added bonus for your experience.
I signed up for the retreat, more for my daughter. I was hoping she’s come away with more confidence and self awareness. I had no idea that I would be the one coming away feeling that I’ve opened myself up more than ever and am learning so much about myself.

Working with April has been a truly amazing experience. Constantly living a very fast life, I felt like I lost control of my personal space and time. She has taught me how to push the breaks when needed and within that period of time how to enjoy free space and love myself. I would highly recommend working with April and let her sprinkle her magic into your chaotic world!
