Wholesome Alchemy

I created The Art of Being because I know how easily we can lose ourselves in the momentum of life.

There is always another task. Another responsibility. Another thing to plan, solve, improve, or get through.

And even when we want rest, we can begin to treat it like something we have to earn.

But I do not believe we are meant to wait until burnout to choose ourselves.

I believe in intentionally creating space.

Space to move slowly.
Space to be in our bodies.
Space to connect without performing.
Space to feel what we feel without immediately needing to fix it.

This retreat is not about becoming someone new.

It is about returning to the person beneath the noise.

If your heart has been asking for a pause, I hope you listen.

Imagine this:

You wake up slowly.

No rushing. No endless notifications. No immediate demand to be somewhere, do something, or take care of everyone else.

You begin your day with breath, movement, and presence.

You share nourishing meals. You have space for real conversation and space for silence, too.

You remember what it feels like to be in your life instead of racing through it.

That is the feeling behind The Art of Being.

The real gift is the space you give yourself to soften, listen, receive, and come home.

If this feels like the kind of retreat your nervous system has been asking for, we would love to welcome you.

Anyone can create a course.

Anyone can share information.

But holding a transformational space is something different.

It asks you to understand the journey your people are on.

To recognize that growth is not always linear.

To know how to create safety, trust, reflection, and room for integration.

To honor where someone is without making them wrong for it and still believe deeply in what is possible for them.

It asks you to become more devoted to the experience your people are having than to checking every box, following a script, or delivering things exactly the way you were taught.

The work is not simply: “Here is what I know.”

The work is: “How can I guide someone through a meaningful experience of becoming?”

This is a conversation I am so excited to open more deeply soon....

The Art of Being may be for you if…

You are tired of being the person who holds everything together.

You have been craving rest, but cannot seem to give yourself permission to take it.

Your mind has been moving faster than your body can keep up with.

You want meaningful connection, but you also want room to be quiet.

You do not need to escape your life....you just want to return to it feeling more present, clear, and connected to yourself.

You do not need to be an experienced yogi.
You do not need to bring someone.
You do not need to have a perfect intention.

You just need to be willing to make space.

This is your invitation to step out of the rush and into a few intentional days designed to help you exhale.

There comes a point in business where it is no longer just about:

“What should I sell?”
“What should I post?”
“How do I get more clients?”

It becomes about something deeper.

How do I create spaces where people feel safe enough to be honest?

How do I hold transformation without rushing, fixing, rescuing, or trying to make someone’s journey linear?

How do I build an offer that reflects my gifts, my lived wisdom, and the way I am truly meant to serve?

And how do I create something that supports real, lasting transformation...not just a moment of inspiration?

This is the work I have been gathering, living, learning, and integrating along my own journey.

There is so much more available when we stop trying to fit our work into someone else’s formula and begin building from the truth of who we are.

Something beautiful is coming for those of you who feel called to hold deeper spaces.

This is the last time I’ll ever run the Living Love Yoga Retreat in Montenegro… and honestly, I have feelings about it. 🥹

This retreat is my favorite.

There is something about taking yourself out of the noise of normal life, landing somewhere beautiful, moving your body, breathing a little deeper, eating good food, laughing with new people, and remembering that you are allowed to have a life that feels this good.

It’s never “just a yoga retreat.”

It’s the conversations that happen when you finally slow down. The nervous-system exhale. The little moments that make you think, oh… I really needed this. The version of you that comes home feeling more like herself.

If you’ve been looking at it, feeling the pull, or thinking maybe next time… this is your sign that there won’t be a next time for this one.

Last call. Doors are closing soon.

If it’s a yes in your heart...even a slightly terrifying yes....come. I would absolutely love to have you there. 🥰🥹✨🙏

This weekend, it begins.🥹

Four months. Nine weekends. A journey deeper home to self.

We open with breath, with presence, with the quiet decision to show up for ourselves in a way most of us have never been taught. From here, we move through the philosophy, the anatomy, the history, the stillness but really, we move through ourselves. Layer by layer. Weekend by weekend.

This is the last time we're doing this the way we've always done it, in this training, in this shape. So if you've felt the pull and haven't said yes yet... this is it.

This is the beginning.

We can't wait to hold this space with you.

See you this weekend 🤍

This Friday, we begin…

Our 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher Training.

A deep dive into yoga as a way of being.
Meeting yoga in the self.
True union.

Asana is often the gateway many take and it is a deep, integrated part of this journey.

The internal “why” around asana is answered here.

Why do we lift the hips?
Why do we rotate the pelvis?
Why is my foot at this angle, and my shoulder in this one?

But we don’t answer these questions with the mind alone.

We meet them.
We feel them.
We experience them in the body.

The body shows us.

We explore the subtle adjustments that open more space. The ones that allow us to touch the poses at a deeper level, without sacrificing one part of the body for another.

Just like in life.🙏

Learning to live in a way where we keep touching deeper levels… without sacrificing the self.

My, Courtney Bohlman, invitation is for those called to meet yoga through embodiment.

Through the body.
Through the heart.
Through the mind.
Through the spirit.

Embodied Anatomy.
Embodied Philosophy.
Embodied Asana.
Embodied Meditation.
Emdodied Pranayama.

We take everything deeper.

We let yoga be lived.

And we do it in a way where you walk out of this training a different person, not just with more knowledge, but with more wisdom. More truth. More you.✨🙏

Due to a cancellation, we surprisingly have one opening still available.

Is it yours?

I am not here to convince you.

✨Your soul knows.✨

What does it say?

If it is a yes....here is the opening: https://www.wholesomealchemy.com/product-page/yoga-teacher-training-florida

You do not need to wait until you are completely exhausted to give yourself space.

You do not need a dramatic reason to step away.

You do not need to earn rest.

Sometimes, the reason is simply that you miss yourself.

You miss waking up without immediately being pulled into the noise.
You miss hearing your own thoughts.
You miss feeling at home in your body.
You miss being present for your actual life.

The Art of Being is a retreat created for exactly that.

A space to slow down, reconnect, move, breathe, rest, and remember what becomes possible when you are no longer living in constant doing.

Come exactly as you are.

Some things you feel before you understand them.
That's what Montenegro has always been....

The mountains that drop straight into the sea. The lake that hums with birdsong at dawn. A table set every evening like it's the first time...because for the chef who cooks for us, it always is.

We've hosted retreats all over the world. But this one....this land.... has always felt like the one we'd choose last. Not because it's less, but because it's the deepest. The one that asks the most of you, and gives back tenfold.

This September, we are returning one final time. And we want you there.

Six days. A mountain hideaway. Yoga and meditation each morning, real conversation each evening, a sauna to melt into after a day on the trails. We'll sail across Skadar Lake. We'll wander through Kotor's old stone streets. We'll hike until our legs ache and our minds go quiet.

And then we'll come back to the table. Every time.

The details:
📍 Lovćen National Park, Montenegro
📅 September 7–12, 2026 · 6 days, 5 nights
🏡 ašuma retreat center
💛 $1,000 deposit to reserve your spot
Double Room $3,200 · Dorm Room $3,000
(Private & Shared Bed sold out)

If you've been waiting for a sign....this is it.

This is the last time we will open this door.

Love,
Courtney
