TULUM - January 2025

 Tulum was absolutely magical. From relaxing on the beach and soaking up the sun, to sweating it out in a Temazcal (Mayan sweat lodge), this week in paradise was life-changing. We also enjoyed a special cacao + sound ceremony, a Mayan clay ceremony, vising the Tulum Ruins and Grand Cenote, massages with an incredible ocean view and two yoga classes daily- a morning flow class to energize our day and an afternoon class to help us unwind and reconnect with ourselves. To top it all off, the food was incredible and we couldn’t be more thankful to Amansala Resort for hosting us or for the beautiful yogis that joined us on this journey!

BALI - February 2024

 We spent two beautiful weeks on the island of Bali, Indonesia in Ubud. We practiced yoga daily in our private yoga shala in the middle of the rainforest and all came back feeling rejuvenated and with a lighter spirit. Our private chef, Budi, prepared authentic Balinese meals for us through our trip. We trekked to the top of the volcano, Mt. Batur and were rewarded with a stunning sunrises. We strolled through the local rice terraces and went snorkeling with manta rays and sea turtles. We also enjoyed countless spa visits and flower baths. If one thing is for certain, it’s that Bali is truly magical. Until next time, Bali!

COSTA RICA- March 2023

 We hosted our first yoga retreat in beautiful Tamarindo, Costa Rica. We practiced yoga daily near our infinity edge pool with incredible views of the Pacific Ocean. The sunsets were breathtaking and we could hear the ocean waves from the villa. Our private chef prepared two authentic, local cuisine meals per day. We adventured to La Leona waterfall which we had to hike and swim through rivers to get to. We also enjoyed some cliff diving along the way and went zip-lining afterwards. We had relaxing beach days, and enjoyed local shopping, surfing, ATV rides and a catamaran tour where we saw and endless amount of dolphins! We also experienced an estuary tour where we spotted all sorts of wildlife including crocodiles, iguanas and baby monkeys. We can’t wait to travel back to Costa Rica again with our yoga family, Pura Vida!
