What to Expect

Joining a Radiant Heart Yoga retreat is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and return to yourself. Each retreat blends thoughtfully guided yoga, meditation, nourishing food, time in nature, and expeditions. Long format retreats create space for rest, reflection, and genuine connection. Expect supportive teaching, intentional community, and a rhythm that allows you to breathe more deeply, on and off the mat.

We blend guided moments, exploration, and space to reflect, so the experience feels both focused and fluid.

❋ Intentional Structure

Connection is at the heart of this experience. Through shared practice and presence, you’ll learn more about yourself and one another, growing stronger together along the way.

❋ Collaborative Energy

Led by experienced teachers who know how to hold space, encourage participation, and keep things moving with purpose.

❋ Expert Facilitation

The retreat is held in a beautiful setting that reflects the local culture, inviting a deeper connection to place. Time and space are intentionally woven to honor the land, its rhythms, and the traditions that shape it.

❋ Beautiful Settings

Our events prioritize comfort, safety, and respect, so you can show up as you are and fully engage in the adventure.

❋ A Supportive Space

Nourishing meals, comfortable accommodations, and thoughtfully curated excursions are all included, allowing you to relax, explore, and fully immerse yourself in the journey.

Retreat Teacher/Facilitator

Chris Morehead

Chris came to yoga through personal struggle, discovering in his practice a way to sit with the fears and insecurities he once tried to outrun. After finding home at Zen Yoga Garage in Chicago, he earned his 200-hour certification there and later completed his 300-hour training with Meghan Currie in the Nicaraguan jungle, an experience that deeply shaped his path.

Now a 500+ hour E-RYT, Chris teaches vinyasa-inspired movement alongside yin and restorative yoga. With a background in circus arts and contortion, he weaves creativity and expression into purposeful, alignment-focused classes that blend longer holds, breath-conscious flow, and playful inversions.

Above all, he hopes you return home from a Radiant Heart Yoga retreat with a lighter heart, a deeper connection to yourself, and maybe a few laughs. His classes are thoughtfully challenging yet accessible, designed to create length in the body and connection to your soul. As one student put it, “Chris makes me feel my feelings! And I love it.”

    The Full Moon Yoga Retreat is ALWAYS an incredibly grounding and rejuvenating experience. The blend of yoga, kundalini, and Qi Gong create a perfect balance of movement, breath, and mindfulness, while the variety of activities (painting, wish jars, foraging, sound baths, etc.) keep each day engaging and meaningful. Being surrounded by nature added a peaceful, almost magical element—especially under the full moon.

    Amanda is both calming and inspiring, and she has a genuine gift for guiding with warmth and intention. I leave every year feeling more centered, refreshed, and connected—not just to myself, but to the world around me. 

    Lets not forget about the FOOD!!  Lindsey from Sol Kitchen nourishes us with clean, refreshing, DELICIOUS meals.  I have never had a food "slump" after eating Lindsey's food.  

    Give yourself a gift and book a retreat with Radiant Heart!

  • Lynsey P. - Student

    Amanda’s retreat was such a meaningful experience! She created a space that felt safe, grounding, and truly authentic, which allowed me to show up as myself in a way I don’t always get to in everyday life. Her guidance, presence, and attention to detail made the entire weekend feel intentional and supportive. She has so much knowledge, and the way she shares it feels both meaningful and deeply supportive. Not only does Amanda create beautiful, intentional yoga flows, but every aspect of the retreat, from the location, to the food, and all the little details, was truly top notch. I left feeling more connected to myself and to others, and I’m so grateful for the experience. Thank you for holding such a special space!

  • Brie N. - Student

    As I’ve grown in my yoga practice, I’ve been curious about attending a yoga retreat, but also intimidated. After taking classes with Amanda, I found the confidence to take that step. I knew her retreat would be a supportive, welcoming space to learn and grow.

    I recently returned from a yoga retreat in Arkansas, and I am so grateful that I went. The opportunity to step away, invest in myself, reflect, and grow was truly rewarding. I deepened my practice, experienced mental and emotional growth, and gained clarity around things I had been struggling to work through. Amanda created space to process and reset.

    Beyond the yoga, the setting was beautiful - peaceful, surrounded by nature, and designed for relaxation and connection. Every moment felt restorative, and the accommodations were top-notch.

    We were well cared for, with meals that were fresh, nourishing, and delicious, and the opportunity to receive a massage.

    What made this experience special was the sense of connection and support. It was a space where you could show up as you are, feel supported, and go deeper within yourself, with a genuine sense of community and shared growth.

    This retreat was a space for renewal, growth, and connection. I left feeling more grounded and connected to myself, and would highly recommend this experience.
