We created this yoga retreat as an opportunity to step away from it all and step into a week that is "blissful, blessed and balanced".
 
If you have ever wished you could travel to a magical location where you could successfully reset from the chaos of the world & connect to yourself once again, then read on…
 
Some times we are presented with once in a life time experiences.
 
This is one of them.
 
Join us on the journey of a lifetime and each day we will experience…
 
Yoga Class: that will strengthen your body, heart, mind— while connecting you to the Earth & Spirit. Experiencing true union
 
Meditations: to support the calming of your mind & providing the space to integrate & ground the messages & wisdom you receive
 
Organic Locally Grown Breakfast: that nourish and support your body, mind, heart, & sprit as we take this journey together
 
Transformational Check-ins: which allow you to be held & seen as you step bravely into your vulnerability

Dynamic Meditations: to gather the wisdom of Spirit & Earth, channeling this energy through your body, allowing it to create the perfect balance within. Practices passed down from many eastern traditions (Sufi, Buddhisim, Yogic, Taoism) guiding you to blissful union with the divine.
 
Join us in the majestic Galapagos Islands on February 9-15th 2025 for “Blissful, Blessed, Balanced".
 
Together we will explore the eastern practices of Yoga, Meditation, and Mindfulness. During our week together we will create an experience that allows all participants to embody the experience of bliss, through balance and a deep recognition and EXPERIENCE of the blessing that is our life.
 
Each day we will spend time in meaningful and practical workshops, allowing us to experience deep connection and bliss. We will also have the opportunity to experience local excursions that allow us to connect with the island and animals that call it home. 
 
This retreat will be held at Katarma - an incredible art lovers dream! This hotel is covered in magical mosaics that truly take your breath away. The islands do not have retreat centers so we have found the best option for our group. Due to this not being a retreat center we are unable to provide lunch or dinner - but have reduced the price to accomodate for you dovering those expenses.
