Mornings you will wake up your body with a dynamic vinyasa flow and afternoons you will melt into a deeply nourishing restorative or somatic practice.

Playful Morning Flow: Start your day with an athletic Vinyasa Flow to help you feel your most strong, flexible, charged, and fluid. Drop into a moving meditation under the metronome of your Ujjayi Breathing in a gorgeous enclosed studio with windows to jungle and sea. Expect to sweat, connect to core, and experience a well rounded yoga flow that awakens every sinew and cell.

Afternoon Somatic and Restorative Yoga Practice is an invitation to all levels of your Being to slow down. Your afternoon sessions are designed to deepen compassion and awareness, nourish your nervous system, and re-awaken neural pathways. These practices are all experienced low to the ground on a mat covered in a yoga blanket, gently and fluidly. Somatic Movement practice feels akin to vinyasa in the linking of breath and movement, yin yoga in the the deliberate slowing down and attuning to deeper held sensations, Yoga Nidra in the dive under the radar of habit and forcing, and myofascial release in the integrated opening of large swaths of fascia that run head to toe.

Everyone is welcome on retreat and as with all my retreats, please know everything is optional.  There will typically be an excursion or adventure you can join or opt out.  As for yoga, I offer an energizing vinyasa flow in the morning and a somatic or restorative yoga practice most afternoons. If you are new, you can just join us for the Somatic Track and enjoy nervous system nourishment of gentle restorative afternoon practices, meditation and journaling or choose to be a part of all our offering of all the yoga classes and workshops.  It is completely up to you.

It depends on the retreat.  Some retreats are more spacious with just one group excursion to give folks time and space to reflect and let the yoga work its magic and some have more adventures planned for folks who like to keep busy. In our busy lives back home there is so much under the surface we have not had space to explore and feel and move. Think of a retreat as a time and space to arrive by bringing your mind and body together. Though often though people imagine they might want a power packed itinerary from their habituated hustle and grind mindset at home, what I often find on retreat is by day 3 there is a huge nervous system downshift and reset where the retreat begins to weave its magic and guests are hungry for a slower pace and time to be, not do, and realize that less is more.

Yes. Your Yoga Retreat purchase does not include trip or health insurance but we strongly recommend that you obtain trip and health insurance for the Yoga Retreat. No one books a retreat with the intention of canceling, but unexpected life events and situations beyond our control can arise, so please consider purchasing travel insurance for your peace of mind to protect your retreat investment. 

Please contact your nearest travel clinic and research any particular visas you might need depending on your passport and circumstances.  Since this question is personal in nature and depends on your health records and nationality it is best for each participant to carefully research and determine what is needed for travel.
