THE EXPERIENCE

You weren’t born to just get by. You were born to exist fully.

This retreat is an invitation to reconnect to your body, your breath, your practice, and your joy. Through intentional movement, honest conversation, and space to simply be as you are, you’ll explore what it means to fully exist— both on and off the mat.

Whether you’ve been practicing for years or you’re stepping into something new, this is for anyone ready to be seen, to grow, and to come home to yourself.

GUIDED BY JOVAN

Jovan Tevin is a lifelong teacher, movement artist, and the founder of To Exist. His journey weaves through worlds of discipline and devotion—from coaching athletes with special needs at MIT to earning a world championship in competitive cheerleading, and later working in hospital leadership at Mass General.

 

His path eventually led to yoga, where he trained at Vikasa Yoga—one program under the Universal Yoga method—and studied Ashtanga in the Mysore tradition under Rich Ray, Didi Von Deck and Kate O'Donnell. From 2023, he taught as a resident instructor at Vikasa before stepping into his own direction.

 

Jovan’s teaching blends structure with sensitivity. Known for his grounded presence and intuitive guidance, he creates spaces that are both empowering and deeply human.

RESERVE YOUR SPOT

This retreat is not about becoming someone else.

It’s about remembering who you are—beneath the pressure, beyond the roles, and within the rhythm of your own breath.

It's time to take space. To soften and strengthen. To meet your edges with grace, and your center with love.

Together we will move, breathe, laugh, and rest.

We' ll ask big questions, hold gentle conversations, and explore what it truly means to exist—in your

body, in this life, right now.

Come as you are—and allow the experience to meet you.

I can’t wait to see what unfolds.

STILL CURIOUS?

If you’re feeling drawn to the retreat but still have some questions, let's start a conversation. 


Simply inquire below and I will personally be in touch.
