Togetherness is my drug of choice. ❤️
When I think back on all the extraordinary places these retreats have taken me, it’s the people who stay with me the longest.
Some arrive as old friends. Others come knowing no one. And somewhere between morning yoga, shared meals, wild adventures, and conversations that wander late into the evening, something happens.
The circle expands.
Yoga is a practice of union. Of coming home to our bodies, to ourselves, and perhaps, to one another.
Maybe that’s what keeps calling me back. Not simply the places we go, but who we become together.
As I dream up Wild Serenity: Zion, I’m thinking about the beautiful, unexpected connections still waiting to be made. Here’s to finding our people, and making room for a few more. ❤️

How often do we wait until we know exactly how something will turn out before we give ourselves permission to begin?

We want certainty. A clear path. Some assurance that the dream will work.
But what if the path only reveals itself once we begin walking?
What if following our inner guidance isn’t about knowing where we’ll end up, but trusting ourselves enough to take the next step?
And perhaps the story isn’t only about reaching the summit, but everything we discover along the way.
What might you say yes to if you didn’t need to know how it would all unfold?
❤️
Speaking of saying yes… I’d love for you to join me for my next Wild Serenity retreat in Zion, May 20–23, 2027!
Save $500 per person with our VIP invitation through November 1. Use code ZIONVIP. Details at the link in bio.
And thank you for being here and following along on this journey! ❤️

Sicily, nine years ago this week. 🇮🇹 Grazie mille.

I had already been leading retreats for years throughout California, Mexico and Hawaii, but this was my first time taking one to Europe. I don’t think I realized quite how much it meant to me until I got home.

We stayed near the charming town of Noto, hiked Mount Etna, visited Taormina, learned to make ravioli, and gathered around the table for long, family-style meals. At Planeta, there was w**e tasting—and olive oil tasting, which I especially loved as someone who doesn’t drink.

We also spent time in seva, teaching yoga at an orphanage. There’s a little girl in one of the clips from this trip, and seeing her brings back another part of what made the experience so meaningful.

What I remember most clearly happened after I came home.

I would get into bed at night and, without even meaning to, find myself quietly whispering:

thank you, thank you, thank you.

I’ll never forget that feeling.

Nine years later, I’m looking back at all the places, people and experiences this work has brought into my life—and somehow those are still the words that come to mind.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 🤍

Open hearts, indeed. 🤍

Last week, an extraordinary group of women gathered for a private day retreat in support of the Open Hearts Foundation — and I was in my happy place, guiding a day filled with movement, meditation, reflection and connection.

So grateful to Jane Seymour for opening her home and heart to us, and to everyone who gathered and helped make this day so special.

A beautiful reminder of what can happen when we create the space to come together. You don’t need a retreat to do that. Gather with friends. Get outside. Be together. 🪷

Open Hearts Foundation Jane Seymour OBE CHRISTY CASHMAN - so happy to have you back!

When you’re feeling stressed… take a chance on penguins. 🐧
A little post-retreat playtime in South Africa after Wild Serenity Botswana. And yes, they are every bit as adorable in person. 🤍
Some things really do make everything better. Stay cool, y’all!

A little Labor Day reminder to make room for play. ✨
There’s a certain kind of freedom that happens when you step away from your everyday life, land somewhere extraordinary, and share it with really good humans.
Of course, we can’t do that every day. Sometimes, for me, it’s simply heading to a yoga class, stepping outside, turning up the music, or finding a reason to laugh.
More laughter. More wonder. More wildness. More you.
This is why I retreat. 🤍

✨ WILD SERENITY | Lions
I’ve been swimming in these memories.
The connections we made. The absolute awe. The presence that came from being in Zimbabwe and Botswana.
Most of our big cat sightings happened on our mobile safari in Savuti, where the retreat took a deeper turn into trust and adventure. We stepped out of our comfort zones and into tents in the middle of the bush, our trusted guides and team safely guiding us every step of the way.
As a group, we traveled in three vehicles, but each day we were bonded by an intention.
On our first drive, our intention was to see big cats. And we saw them.
The next morning, we got a little more specific: we wanted to see a male lion with his magnificent mane. And there he was. Another blessing.
On our final drive of the mobile safari, whispers of a new intention were bubbling up. We had already seen so much. Our cups were full. But how amazing would it be to find the pride of eight we’d been hearing about?
And lo and behold, we rolled right into a scene of not eight, but TEN lions — almost cinematically positioned across the vast landscape, slowly closing in on a group of impalas.
Off to the side, a lion and lioness were snuggling. He tried to poke at her to play. She promptly swatted him down. 😂 She was getting her rest.
So they settled back down, facing each other, all paws touching.
The intensity. The gentleness. The wildness of it all.
There is something deeply humbling about being this close to nature. Awe takes over. We become quiet. The noise in our heads softens. And for a moment, we are released from the trance of distraction.
At the heart of yoga is the teaching found in the second Yoga Sutra of Patanjali: Yoga is the quieting of the chattering mind.
It’s here with the lions.
I feel forever changed by this experience, and I will always be grateful for the people who said yes and came all the way to Africa to share it with me.
I love you. Keep going. ❤️
More Wild Serenity to come.
Return to Wonder. 🦁
