On a whim, I recently took myself on a long weekend solo trip for a yoga, meditation, and wellness retreat near the Colorado/New Mexico border. To say the experience was life-changing would be an understatement, as I truly felt like a better and healthier person with a sense of inspiration and motivation that I’d been craving for a long time. This weekend prompted me to look into future wellness retreats to keep that momentum going, whether at scheduled events close to home or farther away as new vacation destinations.
Florida, for example, is a prime spot for wellness-seekers, and here are some examples of wellness retreats in Florida that may interest you too.
