Begin Within
— A Yoga Day Retreat

Your Space to Breath and Reconnect
Sunday, January 11, 2026
The new year invites fresh energy — goals, ideas, and inspiration.
But it can also bring a quiet pressure to do more, start faster, and have it all figured out.
This retreat is your space to breathe, listen, and move with intention — a pause before the year takes off.
A day held gently — where no one needs anything from you.
A place to rest your mind, move your body, and let the noise settle.
Rest becomes strength
Stillness becomes clarity
Presence becomes peace
Because when you slow down enough to truly hear yourself, the way forward often finds you.
All levels - always welcome
This Is for You If
You crave a pause before the new year gathers speed.
You feel pulled in many directions and long to feel centered again.
You’ve been doing a lot and you’re ready to soften into being.
You love yoga but also quiet, reflection, and simple connection.
You want clarity, energy, and ease without pressure or performance.
You’re curious about what could shift when you give yourself a full day of presence.
Realign: Begin Within is designed for anyone ready to start the year with intention, calm, and a sense of grounded renewal.
Meet Your Guide — Tina from Yoga Explorer
Hi, I’m Tina — the heart and hands behind Yoga Explorer.
I’m a teacher and lifelong student of yoga, nature, and the quiet wisdom that comes when we slow down.
My classes and retreats weave together mindful practice, breath, and reflection to help you feel more connected — not just to your body, but to the rhythm of your own life.
Realign: Begin Within grew from that same intention — a calm reset, a day to pause, move with awareness, and feel anchored in what’s real.
What I love most about hosting these retreats is watching the shift that happens when people give themselves permission to slow down — the way softness, clarity, and ease naturally return.

What You’ll Carry Home
Before the retreat, life can feel full and fast — the year already asking more than you have to give.
You might arrive with a busy mind, a long list, and that quiet wish for just a little more space.
After a day of movement, stillness, and reflection, something shifts.
You begin to move through life differently — with a steadier breath, softer edges, and a clearer sense of what actually supports you.
You’ll carry home:
A calm mind and a grounded body.
Tools to pause before reacting, to breathe before rushing.
A renewed connection to your inner rhythm — that place inside that already knows what you need.
Clarity about what deserves your energy, and the confidence to protect it.
A sense of peace that lingers long after you roll up your mat.
You don’t leave with all the answers — you leave with the calm to listen for them
The Setting — Sanctuary Farm
Just fifteen minutes from Chapel Hill, yet it feels like another world.
Sanctuary Farm is a peaceful, nature-inspired space designed for meaningful gatherings and quiet pauses.
From the Barn Lofts to the Pondside Gazebo, The fireplace, and Organic Garden, every corner invites calm and connection.
Between sessions, you might stretch out in a hammock, sip tea by the fire, or wander the gardens.
It’s the kind of place that makes slowing down feel easy — the perfect setting for a day of renewal and reflection.
A Chef-Prepared Seasonal Lunch
A Culinary Experience Rooted in Nature — included with your retreat
Enjoy a chef-prepared lunch made from fresh, local ingredients — thoughtfully crafted to highlight the flavors of the season and support your day of practice.
We’ll gather around the table and enjoy this meal together, family-style. Each dish is designed to nourish your body and ground you in the rhythms of the land.
Meet Constantin — Sanctuary Farm’s resident chef. Alongside his family, he tends the farm and garden that inspire his cooking. He believes food should restore us from the inside out, creating meals that complement the healing you’ll experience throughout the day.

Testimonials
"Outdoor yoga with Tina is so energizing! Being in the open air puts me in the the perfect mindset to receive Tina’s gentle guidance for breathing, movement, and yoga philosophy. "
-Anna Wetterberg
"It’s very easy during the week to get caught up in the “to do list” and stresses of everyday life. My yoga practice centers my thinking and for that hour prioritizes the fundamentals of my body. Tuesday night yoga causes me to focus on my body and being present for that hour of practice. It physically challenges me but brings relaxation and a deep sense of wellbeing. I enjoy that this hour gives me permission to concentrate on myself. I find that I am more than ready for that reaffirmation when the next week rolls around. It’s a vital part of my week. Thanks for all of the guidance you provide."
-Kathy Shear
"This was my first experience doing yoga. I enjoyed the class so much that I have continued practicing yoga. Tina is a great instructor. She explained every move and gave us different options to try. I am so grateful that she was willing to teach us and it was really fun to do it outdoors. "
