“The yoga practice was terrific! I didn’t know what to expect, and everything was beyond my expectations. I was returning to my mat after years of not practicing - unsure of my strengths and skills. Molly and Lauren are skilled and intentional in their yoga teachings and group facilitation. I trusted them instantly and they helped me trust myself. This is such a gift that I wish everyone could experience. They are open and honest, genuinely want you to have the best experience possible, and deliver ~ time after time in all aspects of the retreat. They carefully and skillfully curate the practice and programming to generously give you what you need - even though you did not know you needed it! THANK YOU!!! “

“If I could choose a word that encapsulates my recent experience in Bali, it would be Love.
With everything that has occurred in the last two years and a recent breakthrough of recognizing that I was running in the opposite direction of the life I was trying to cultivate. I had noticed weeks ago that at some point, I had put a shell around my heart due to fear and stress.
To visit a place where the people are so grateful, kind, generous, and genuinely happy to see you is a touching and healing experience. This is a reminder that we are free in every moment to choose how we show up in life. You can be happy with very little.
I am grateful to Lauren and Molly for putting together such an incredible experience. The other participants I was able to be on this journey with gave me the opportunity to fall in love with new people, to listen to their stories, to explore a beautiful place, and to fall back in love with myself. Not just anyone could pull off cultivating an emotionally safe and connecting space.

Words can not begin to express the gratitude I have for this experience. The grounds, accommodations and staff of ChoZen were simply amazing. From the moment of arrival to the bittersweet moment of departure, this yoga retreat flowed from one experience to the next with love and grace. Lauren and Molly poured their heart and souls into ensuring that each participant had a beautiful experience - and that physical limitations don't stop the flow of our practice. We learned to love ourselves where we are in our yoga practice and found deep compassion for ourselves in our every day lives. The addition of Jared and percussion through yoga and sound bath meditations took the experience to new levels. Ryan's input on acupuncture and how to integrate acupressure into everyday practical living combined with a visit to the Kashi Ashram was quite the perk. Chef Collin's food was divine art. I have expanded my knowledge and my soul to places I'd never imagined. I feel truly blessed to have been a part of this group, as each member of this experience was a gift. I feel that any retreat that Lauren and Molly pull together in the future will be a once in a lifetime experience that should not be missed. This was a beautiful adventure that flowed as life does with unexpected twists and turns. I feel so grateful to have been a part of it.

This was a wonderful combination of a yoga/wellness retreat and boutique tourism. Staying at Il Roccone, a beautifully renovated farmhouse tucked up on a hill overlooking the beautiful town of Piancastagnaio, Italy was amazing! Each morning we began our day with meditation up on a platform surrounded by a most serene natural environment. The meditation began with an inspirational reading from Molly or Lauren, our illustrious hosts!! Once done, we would go down to the yoga studio for yoga activities which also included, but not limited to, yoga, sound baths etc. Absolutely outstanding! The resonant sounds truly soothed my soul. The team assigned to the Retreat, could not be more accommodating. Carlo the owner of the farmhouse, along with Renato, the house manager and Elena our chef, truly cared about our comfort and always provided assistance when needed with a smile at all times!! Just to mention, if there are dietary concerns, they will be accommodated. Also, each day there was an excursion of some type, planned for the group, i.e. hiking, city tours, thermal baths, wine tasting etc. I highly recommend this Retreat if you want to rediscover yourself and/or become a better version of yourself. Molly and Lauren will guide you through whatever it is you may need. They are very compassionate, patient and non-judgmental. Wonderful program! Thank you!!!!!
