“Yoga is the touchstone. It’s the daily practice that allows us to check in with our bodies, minds, and lives.
But, for most of us the yoga practice and all that goes with it doesn't just happen.
We need knowledge and guidance, we need support, we need a place and the time to explore, connect, and heal.
That’s what Shine is for.”
-Sara, Shine Founder
Jumpstart FAQs
Is the day of the Retreat the first day of my Jumpstart?
Yes. The retreat is designed to prepare you for the remaining weeks of the Jumpstart.
When should I have my one-on-one meeting with Sara?
The one-on-one is to help customize the Jumpstart for you. We can meet before the retreat, but it probably makes the most sense to get started first and then we can tweak the program to fit best with your life and what you need.
How do I book my appointment with Sara?
Right here! YOGA LIFESTYLE APPOINTMENT>>
Do I have to do yoga every day?
Nope. I’ve seen a regular yoga practice be a touchstone for people over and over again, and it was regular yoga that changed my life, so I am giving you the structure within a limited time frame to help you get on that track, but we are here to support you, not scold you.
Is the cost of yoga included?
Yes. Three weeks of unlimited yoga package is included.
What if I already have a package?
I will pause it, and restart it after the end of the Jumpstart.
Is food included?
The food that is provided through the cooking demonstration and shared meal is included, but you are responsible for all other food.
Can I do this online?
Yes! The summer Jumpstart is great to do at the beginning of a vacation or if you don’t live near the studio. If you have obligations in the summer that get in the way of the retreat, the live-streamed retreat or the recording of it can work for you.
You can do the training completely online—retreat, one-on-one, and classes or you can mix it up and do some of it online and some in person.
