100 Hour Yoga Training Retreat - May 2026

A journey of movement, breath, learning, connection, and inner discovery.
Ocean breeze, open skies, beautiful souls, inspiring teachers, and moments that remind us to slow down and truly feel.

Grateful for every practice, every conversation, every challenge, and every lesson — both on the mat and within myself. 🤍

This experience is becoming so much more than yoga… it’s growth from the inside out. 🌊☀️🧘🏻‍♀️

Ellen and Jen were phenomenal! The experience was so much more than I expected. The accommodations were good, but the food was great!  

Sound Healing + Breathwork + Cold Plunge Training Retreat

It was such a wonderful time. The Resort staff was on it, the food was amazing. Of course the training was top level. The rooms were fantastic, and the resort was fairly new. I love the rooftop bar and the Jacuzzi on the balcony.
