Brooke and Jackie launched The Narwhal Yoga Retreats as one of the most easy and intuitive choices one gets to make in a lifetime. Long-time, dear friends, Brooke and Jackie’s visions aligned on a mission to elevate, love on and create limitless, extraordinary yoga experiences for their beloved yoga community / soul family. Our vision is to see the world, create lasting connection, heal, explore and untangle. So much synergistic magic has been bubbling.
