Who am I?
I am Janine Agoglia, and I've been practicing and teaching yoga since 1995. As a 54 year old Type A "recovering" perfectionist, I understand the power of yoga and meditation to energize, restore, and heal the body and mind. I went from an anxious, self-critical, stress machine to someone who knows how to be kinder and gentler with herself. I am passionate about sharing my wisdom with students, to help them let go of the stories that are holding them back from living fully embodied lives.
Yoga is not just for some bodies, yoga is for all bodies. I have seen the benefits of practicing yoga through my life to build strength, improve balance, increase mobility, and feel calm and in control over my previously racing mind. The combination of yoga and meditation, plus journaling, is my favorite toolkit for feeling my feelings, rather than numbing them, and accepting myself for who I am. I believe in non-judgment for myself and my students.
This annual Summer Yoga and Meditation Retreat is an opportunity to connect with students in a deeper way and for them to connect to each other. We share wisdom, laughs, tears, and joy. If you are seeking connection and a respite from the chaos of daily life, this retreat is for you.
From the moment I sat in the first circle, I felt safe, even with people I mostly didn't know. Janine held the space like a loving, accepting embrace. In this space of openness and vulnerability, with other like-minded humans, I was able to deepen my self-compassion and move it from something I knew in my head to something I could feel in my heart.

What past attendees are saying
Not always easy to be open and frank about self criticism but Janine created such a trusting and safe environment that everyone was able to share painful incidents without shame. There is no one better equipped to lead such thought provoking sessions than Janine and for that, I have extraordinary gratitude and an abiding love for her and her practices.
I loved the discussions - hearing each other's stories and wisdom, feeling the compassion in my heart and the connection, vulnerability and shared humanity. I also thought that the silent time allowed for me to preserve my energy well and brought ease. also, the food!!
Thank you, Janine, for your expertise in creating a trust circle for all to safely participate at any level. I felt so nourished on multiple levels; mind, body, heart, and soul. Thank you for your attention to detail and caring touch throughout the weekend! You are amazing!
