Meet your hosts

Megan McCarver, M.A., C-IAYT, E-RYT500, IYA

Step away from the noise and into a space of deep restoration with Meg. With over 30 years of experience as a yoga therapist, educator, and guide, Megan creates retreats that are more than just a getaway—they’re an invitation to reconnect with your body, breath, and inner clarity.

Rooted in therapeutic yoga, ancient wisdom traditions, and mindfulness, Megan’s retreats are designed to meet you exactly where you are. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, burnout, or simply seeking renewal, her compassionate, grounded presence offers a safe space for transformation.

You’ll move gently, breathe deeply, and leave with tools you can carry into everyday life. This is a retreat for those who long to slow down, go inward, and return home to themselves—with the guidance of someone who has walked this path for decades.

  • Delicious food, very comfortable beds, calming yoga, life changing hour long pranayama teachings, and practices like walks in the lavender maze, the agni practice, reiki, ayuvedic massage, and art, all made this retreat led by Megan perfection. The hiking through the blooming and humming spring meadows with the snow clad distant Sierra Nevada Mountains, plus a walk to a neighboring goat farm across a stream gushing with snow melt, showcased nature at its best with the goat cheese available for purchase being the cherry on the top. Thank you to Megan for leading/organizing and Deepak for creating your beautiful retreat venue for us all to experience!
