Costa Rica Retreat Feb. 22-29, 2020
“2020 Foresight: Align with Your Innate Wisdom”
Join me in Costa Rica for a week-long retreat next year, Feb. 22 – 29, 2020! While being immersed in this unique “Blue Zone”, we will use accessible Alignment Yoga, guided meditations, mindfulness practices, pranayamas, and other tools to dissolve the accumulations of stress and reestablish a heartfelt connection with nature and our innate wisdom to better navigate these tumultuous times.
This is a special invitation to sequester yourself at AHKi, an exquisite tropical mountain sanctuary. Set your intention now to be in community with trees, sky, ocean, birds, animals and humans at the beginning of this auspicious year – 2020.
“Pura Vida”, pure life, is already within you; it needs to be uncovered and reclaimed.

New Year’s Yoga Retreat in Tropial Yelapa, Mexico
January 13 – 20, 2018
Early Bird Discount: $1650 if paid by Sept. 15, 2017
If you were on this retreat in February, you know this was a delightful way to drop the winter doldrums and enjoy the warm rays of the sun. Maybe you heard about it from friends in your yoga classes and wished you’d gone. Maybe you’ve never been on a yoga retreat or hardly know what yoga is, and you’re game for a little adventure while still enjoying some creature comforts.
Welcome to the world of possibilities where serendipity flows like water down circuitous pathways towards its source.
Diane Butera and I will co-lead this week-long retreat. We’ll do meditation and gentle Alignment Yoga in the morning and again in the afternoon in a most exquisite outdoor yoga space – The Sky Temple. Most likely, Diane will guide us in Yoga Nidra at some point. (Talk about deep relaxation while setting your intention for the new year!) There will be PLENTY of time to do your own thing… hike, nap on the beach, watch birds and butterflies, read, journal, write poetry, be creative… artistic… What other things do you just never find the time for that would nourish your spirit? Do that!
This is a time for you. While there will likely be opportunities for snorkeling, day trips to the outback, hiking… we’re not billing this as a sight-seeing tour. This is a time to rejuvenate at the start of the year in a small village where life is simple. Our host, Judith Roth, has worked with the community to ensure that westerners can enjoy an authentic experience and stay healthy. Even though you won’t find cars in the village, you will find a pretty reliable WIFI connection if that’s included in your definition of “creature comforts”.
Join us and get your new year started in a direction of your choosing.
