A 3 day immersive retreat

Save my Spot

Calm your mind.
Reconnect to your heart. Awaken your soul.

In the chaos of daily life, it’s easy to lose touch with yourself, your surroundings, and the meaningful moments that bring you peace. If you’re feeling stretched thin, disconnected, or simply yearning for stillness, The Quiet Path offers a space to pause, breathe, and find clarity.

Whether this is your first retreat experience or a continuation of your personal growth journey, The Quiet Path invites you to arrive as you are. There’s no need for perfection, no expectations—just a safe and supportive space to lean into the quiet and leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected.

Your quiet path is waiting. Will you take the first step?

ERIKA BLAKELY

I’m a leadership coach, retreat facilitator, and Baptiste Certified Yoga Teacher with over a decade of experience creating powerful spaces for growth and transformation.

After walking away from a corporate career in accounting, I committed fully to the path of yoga and leadership. I’ve trained for over 1,000 hours with some of the most respected teachers in the world—including through The Baptiste Institute—and now co-lead 200-hour teacher trainings and lead international retreats that take people deep into themselves.

My work blends yoga, embodied leadership, coaching, and personal inquiry. I create experiences that challenge people to get honest, go inward, and reconnect with what matters—whether that’s on the mat, in conversation, or halfway across the world in a retreat setting.

KAREN BOWEN

Five years ago, I ventured into Baptiste Yoga to add variety to my fitness routine and increase my flexibility.

Little did I know, this choice would spark a profound passion for yoga. By 2020, I had completed my 200-hour RYT, and by 2021, my 300-hour training, deepening my expertise and love for teaching. I'm certified in special populations, YIN, and Power Yoga, reflecting my comprehensive approach to practice.

Becoming an Elevation Life Coach transformed me and my teaching, enhancing my connection with students and my impact. I'm committed to helping others achieve both physical and mental clarity through Baptiste Yoga.
