IMAGINE THIS:
You wake up in a super comfy bed to the sound of howler monkeys in the distance. You get ready and walk outside your door to see a lush green tropical landscape. You grab a warm cup of nicarguan coffee and an organic, all-natural breakfast as you sit a table with new friendly faces with similar interests as you.
You get lead through a challenging but fun and creative flow to the sound of an alt band like The Cure, Type O, or Fall Out Boy. The energy in the room allows for expansiveness and you feel invigorated and refreshed.
After yoga, you shower and then hang out with a cup coffee or tea and you take in the breath taking view or maybe take walk around the jungle. Maybe you even spot a family of howler monkeys or a sloth holding its baby! You return for a communal lunch where you get to know the fellow retreaters and cultivate deeper friendships. In the afternoon, maybe you take a dip in the pool, a swim in ocean or maybe you book some bodywork or take a cat nap. Maybe you even try out a surf lesson!
In the evening, you take meditative, gentle yoga class that allows the body to open and the mind to relax. After class, you once again sit at a large table with all of your new like-minded friends and chat about the adventures of the day and share stories of the past and your plans for the future. Then you hang by the pool with a few new friends for a chill night in or maybe you take a taxi into town to get rowdy. Maybe you call it an early night and get a peaceful night’s sleep with the sound of nature.

Meet your Retreat host
RETREAT HOST: Crystal
Crystal Rose is latina punk who has been practicing yoga and meditation for over 15 years. Like most, she came to yoga for the physical benefits, but continued for the emotional and mental benefits. Yoga allowed her to breath deeper, reduce anxiety and increase her focus, both on the mat and in life. She has a passion for Ayurvedic Self Care and all things Lunar.
She's all about making yoga accessible to BIPOC and Alternative Folks who may be scared away from trying it because they don’t fit the stereotypical mold for a yoga practitioner. Her classes are intentional and powerful and always open to all-levels.
CO-Host: Kaila
Kaila is a adventure loving yoga teacher who
has been practicing since she was a teenager and teaching for the better part of the last decade. She believes in the magic of movement and breath and the invisible connection between all things. A lover of astrology, tarot, and all things woo-woo, she’s always up for discussing the occult or participating in a ritual.
Kaila’s classes can range from energetic and challenging to slow and introspective. Each class comes from a choose-your-own-adventure approach, wherein Kaila acts as the guide, giving cues and variations, but ultimately the authority on how to move through the postures lies with each student, after all, they are the ones who know best how things feel for them. Her goal is for each student to leave her classes feeling a little more empowered in themselves.
