GOOD MOVE SUMMER RETREAT
July 18th-21st
CATSKILLS, NY
This summer, join Jules Bakshi, founder of GOOD MOVE, and senior instructor Shoshi Moyer for a blissful mind body vaycay at Menla Retreat Center, nestled in the lush, verdant Catskill Mountains.
Each GOOD MOVE Retreat is a one of a kind experience designed to bring you joy, healing, and mind body rejuvenation through movement.
Tend to your body, mind, and spirit and let yourself be enveloped by nature's embrace as you reconnect with your sense of play, your strength, and your joy. Through layers of movement exploration, creative play, meditation, and intentional time in nature, we’ll relax and de-stress, build confidence, self-trust, physical strength, resilience, and most of all, we’ll have so much fun!
Daily movement classes are a combination of dance, pilates, yoga, strength, and integrated somatic forms. Other activities include hiking, journaling, art-making practice, stargazing, and swimming in Menla’s beautiful pool. Menla also has a gorgeous spa on the premises if you need an extra zen moment — book everything from sauna, steam room, massage, facial, or acupuncture treatments!
Each aspect of this retreat is meticulously crafted to spark up your mind-body connection, ignite your senses, and rejuvenate your spirit. We can't wait to get embodied, explore, expand, and get to know you! No experience necessary!
Secure your spot today and prepare to embark on a journey of self-discovery and mind/body bliss! Our summer retreats always sell out fast- so book early to make sure you get the room you want :)
Your Hosts!

What people are saying about GOOD MOVE Retreats
“Go, go, go! It's the best decision you can make for your physical, mental, and spiritual health. You'll emerge from there feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, with lifelong memories and friends!” - Esther, Summer Retreat 2022 & 2023
“It's hard to describe in words just how transformative the GM retreat experience is. Truly magical, heart and mind opening, cup-filling, soul healing. I could go on and on about how much of an impact these retreats have, but you could only understand it if you've experienced it!” - Victoria, Summer Retreat 2022 & 2023
“There is no better way to nourish your mind, body and soul then to experience a Good Move retreat! Stripping away the distractions of modern life, these enriching retreats build and cultivate a nurturing, safe and expressive community where you can be at your most vulnerable and truly connect with your inner being, and simultaneously be a part of an unconditional community of likeminded folks who support, lift each other up and hold space for each other to come just as you are. It is an experience of true authenticity and an investment for the soul that has the power to change the trajectory of the path you’re on - especially if you’re feeling stuck in life - and to accelerate mindful growth. If you’re on the fence, I hope this would be your sign to go ahead and gift yourself a wholehearted Good Move Retreat experience!” -Emily, Summer Retreat 2022 & 2023

“If you’re thinking about going, just take the leap and do it! Never had one regret and I’ve been on 4 GOOD MOVE retreats!” - Emma, So many retreats!
