bio

The inward journey. In 2014, I landed my body in my first Vinyasa Class, not having a clue of the pathway I’d follow thereafter. I kept hearing, ‘show up, it gets easier, and I love you.’ These three elements on this path were extremely crucial in my interest in diving deeper into the practice. What followed the next two years was a journey inward, one that encouraged me to lean into discomfort, that growth was somewhere on the other side. So as I learned to manipulate my body into shapes that it’d never experienced before, I also began to unravel tight chords wrapped around my inner existence that were begging to be freed.

I was certified to teach Vinyasa Yoga in 2016 and shortly thereafter began my career as a Yoga Instructor. My passion stems from the acknowledgement of being extremely uncomfortable in my body and mind, and learning how the rhythm and flow of the practice soothed both physically and emotionally. The ability to guide others on their own journey inward through this practice, is something I deeply cherish. Everything we seek is already within us. We practice mindful movement, physical and emotional alignment, with fluid breath to regulate and rediscover the things we thought were lost.

Looking forward to holding space for those willing to journey inward, unravel, and explore the body, mind, and spirit connection!

As the sun paints the sky in vibrant hues, the welcome ceremony marks the commencement of your inner odyssey. A harmonizing Yin practice anchors you in the present moment, setting the tone for the days ahead. The retreat's essence deepens as we gather in a circle to share our intentions, clearing the path for personal growth and healing. For those seeking a tailored journey, private sessions — be it Oracle Readings, Private Lessons, or Wellness Coaching — await, guiding you toward alignment and empowerment. As the day gracefully concludes with a nourishing dinner, the night sky unveils possibilities, allowing your spirit to roam freely. This is a time for you, a time to embrace your authenticity and begin your wellness voyage with a heart open to transformation and fulfillment.

As the day continues, attend an Ayurveda workshop. An ancient holistic system of medicine originating in India, Ayurveda focuses on maintaining balance and wellness through personalized dietary, lifestyle, and herbal practices. Immerse yourself in this historic wisdom before lunch and free time.

As evening rolls into the Riviera Maya, a captivating Cooking Lesson beckons. Here, you'll learn recipes and tap into a sense of self-care and passion for life.

As twilight descends, we'll begin a series of ceremonies that will provide closure as this amazing experience comes to an end. A cacao ceremony beckons, leading you on a sensory voyage that merges ancient traditions with modern transcendence. The evening crescendos with a profound closing circle and fire gathering, where hearts converge and stories intertwine like flames, igniting a deep sense of community. Finally, under a starlit sky, we will attend a releasing ceremony that will guide you towards letting go and trusting the path you've embarked upon. This day's journey is a celebration of the vibrant spirit within, guiding you towards the threshold of profound alignment and empowerment.
