*Please reach out for questions around transportation. We are happy to make flight and driving recommendations. Reach out to Katie at andara.balance@gmail.com
All the activities have been thoughtfully planned, though they are optional. Sometimes sleeping in feels better than morning yoga and that's OK! This is your weekend. If you know you would like to opt out of the hike, please contact Katie if you would like help coordinating an on-site massage, Reiki, etc. This may become challenging closer to the retreat date so please plan ahead.
Meet Your Retreat Leader
Your lead facilitator and yoga instructor is Katie MacMullin, founder of Andara, certified Energy Medicine Yoga teacher in addition to 200-hour training in Hatha, Vinyasa, and a supplemental 25-hour Yin certification. Katie has also spent years as a practicing certified Reiki Master/Level III in the Usui lineage and a Biomagnetism Therapist with multiple advanced trainings, including a certified Emotion Protocol Practitioner. Her lifestyle practices are centered around Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine which encourage aligning with the seasons, elements, and embracing dualistic nature.
Most of her time is spent researching ancient and contemporary wellness techniques, practicing and refining yoga/movement, enjoying time connecting with new and old friends, exploring Nature, the world and beyond.
Katie is close with her older sister and mother. They have done retreats, trips and yoga workshops many times together. Creating a space where other mothers and daughters and sisters can share a similar bonding, relaxing, and fun experience is important to Katie. After co-leading 14+ women's circles in the past year and attending many women's groups, Katie knows the power that happens when women gather together. There is a safety and magic held like no other. She has enjoyed "adopting" grandmother and mother-like mentors and friends, and many sisters throughout each gathering, and invites you to do the same here.

Brandy P., NH
"I met Katie originally from one of my monthly circles and was instantly drawn to her presence. She has such a calm, welcoming spirit about her. I joined her most recent retreat in the White Mountains, The In Between Retreat. I’ve experienced some retreats in the past but what really set this one apart from the others was the thoughtfully curated theme of the in between! Everything we did was centered around this journey and it was way more than just a yoga retreat. The food was phenomenal and I truly enjoyed my time there. It something I still find myself reflecting on, even after nearly a month has passed. I look forward to more of her offerings!"
