Immerse Retreat with Pei Chai | Nectar Yoga Retreat

We’re delighted to welcome Pei Chai back to Nectar for her second time hosting Immerse Retreats, offering another opportunity to experience her thoughtful and heart-centered approach to self-discovery and renewal.

In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s easy to forget the importance of slowing down, pausing, and taking a moment to reconnect with yourself. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or simply in need of a reset, it’s time to take a step back and allow yourself the space to breathe, reflect, and rejuvenate.
