“Dear PoPville,

I just celebrated one year postpartum after having a rough delivery and preemie in the NICU, and I’d like to commemorate this with some (real) self-care. I’d love to do something restorative like a weekend in Yogaville [Ed. Note: No relation to PoPville] but that’s less than a 2 hour drive from DC. I’m looking for a place/experience that is in nature, offers yoga, meditation, maybe some art therapy? Help a mama out!”
