Yoga Retreats: Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Sedona, and Washington State

Roy note on retreats: We strive to include my favorite practices for healing and awakening: breath-connected yoga, nature, hikes, sunshine, beaches, snorkeling, waterfalls, animals, whales, spiritual community, healing workshops, meditation, and kirtan (call and response chanting). We invite personal sharing and connection to help us all deepen our experience, but all participation, sharing, and activities are optional. See sample schedule below.

Over half of the people who attend our retreats come back for a second (or third) retreat

"Thank you for the comfortable environment you created and for not taking yourself too seriously. Your sense of humor and style kept everything light and made me feel free to try things and not push myself beyond what I felt I could do."
