RETREAT DETAILS

ABOUT (T)HE TREAT
(T)he Treat is the most concise version of a Tootsie Olan Retreat. A mini retreat that delivers big.
A gorgeous, expansive experience in the shortest version we can give it to you. Created to address the requests over the years for a getaway that requires less travel and time commitment. But entirely uncompromising in fulfillment. Move, sweat, hush. Eat, drink, get loud. Connect, center, breathe. Unravel yourself for some high wattage fun + sublime, fully LIVED days. (T)he Treat is intended to shake, soothe and leave a mark on you. Crafted to feel luxurious; like you’ve been transported for days. Walk away from your everyday rut only to return to your life with a lightness, joy, clarity. It’s a big promise. And I stand by it. The (T)reat officially begins Thursday morning + concludes Friday late morning. See below for more detail on options to expand or contract your experience.

THE ST LAURENT
Originally built The Tides Hotel in1886, this amazingly renovated boutique hotel blends simple sophistication with fashionably funky elegance. Tucked in the beach-side streets of Asbury Park, this spot checks every box that a Tootsie Olan Retreat demands. From the hotel rooms to the poolside lawn, each detail is a thoughtful nod to the awesome history of NJ’s Asbury Park: rock-n roll-centered, art-rich, food-crazed, beach-vibed, classic boardwalk-charmed, LGBTQ-friendly- all layered into the fabric of classic Jersey shore grit. Recently heralded one of the “Coolest Small Towns in America” by travel magazines and placed on top beach destinations lists, Asbury Park is one of the best kept secrets of the east coast. And the new St Laurent Hotel + onsite Heirloom at The St Laurent Restaurant are an experience that braid it all together with a class + charm to pamper from first step through their doors. It’s an easy love at first step kinda place.

YOGA + DANCE + LUXURY
As per all Tootsie Olan Retreats, The (T)reat includes meditation, yoga and our blowout signature danceFLOORED class. In between moving + eating, you choose how you want to fill your time. Relax, indulge, connect, explore. Choose from spa services available for your onsite pampering or pool side relaxation or exploring Asbury Park’s awesome arts, music + beach scene. Perhaps tuck away for your own quiet moments with a book or ratchet up the fun. Your choice. Absolutely ALL levels welcome both in yoga and dance. Men and women, yes. Every shape, size, confidence level—bring it! Mature teens are welcome.

FARE
Our movement is always matched by equally incredible nourishment on Tootsie Olan Retreats. For The (T)reat here, our meals are an exquisite highlight with the renown Heirloom Restaurant at the helm. From morning light bites to Heirloom’s signature three-course prix fixe dinner experience, our days are elevated by our fare. Included in The (T)reat: morning light bites, coffee, teas before yoga + the acclaimed three- course dinner at Heirloom at The St Laurent. Midday we encourage you to explore the explosive, food blogger’s dreamy food scene of Asbury Park. Korean tacos, to sushi. Vegan ice cream to boardwalk fries. Don’t wanna explore? Super. Hang poolside and make a reservation for yourself for a most lovely lunch at Heirloom.

WHO IS THE (T)REAT INTENDED FOR?
For those who have heard about Tootsie Olan Retreats + want to try one on a smaller scale.
For those who know + really want to attend a retreat but just can’t get away for multiple days.
For those who plan to come on a 2023 retreat but it seems so far away + need a little igniting before then.
For those who went on a retreat + crave a taste of that feeling since we last retreat-ed (verb).
For those who just might want/need some fire, light, fun + centering in their life right now.
Whether you have taken class many times before or never heard of Tootsie, this is for you.
Above all else, The (T)reat is intended to undo + then redo you. To give you the time, care + jolt that you need now, so that you can feel…better.
All levels are so very welcome.
