Are you in?

Not all the good work happens on the mat.
Sometimes it happens under Andean skies—when your breath slows, the mountains hold you, and there’s nowhere to be but here.

It might look like sunrise tea on the patio at Munay Sonqo.
Or a slow walk through Pisac’s markets, colors buzzing like prayer flags.
Maybe it’s letting someone else handle the plans, the meals, the details—so you can simply feel, move, and be.

It’s laughing with new friends after a long exhale.
It’s the quiet train ride toward Machu Picchu, where everything feels both ancient and brand new.
It’s yoga, yes—but also nourishment, culture, and time that stretches in the best way.

Sacred Valley, Peru — April 22–30, 2026
Twice-daily yoga + meditation, nourishing vegetarian meals, day trips to Machu Picchu, Maras/Moray, and Pisac.

We’ll be based in the heart of the Sacred Valley, practicing yoga surrounded by mountains, ancient energy, and deep stillness. From sunrise meditations to visiting the legendary Machu Picchu, this is more than a getaway — it’s a journey inward.

📍Location: Munay Sonqo Retreat Center
📅 Dates: April 22–30, 2026
🌿 Includes yoga, guided tours, spa day, nourishing meals, and a whole lot of awe.

I call this series, the inter dialogue with self as I walk Hazel my loving dog around town 🤔

Somewhere along the way, we were taught that success requires being hard.
That to lead, you have to be loud. To win, you have to be ruthless.
But that’s not truth—it’s just tradition wrapped in fear.

You don’t have to be an as***le to be successful.
You don’t have to grind yourself into misery to build a meaningful career.

You don’t have to be hard on your siblings to help them grow.
You can be kind. You can show them what growth looks like—with patience, not pressure.

Kindness isn’t weakness.
Peace isn’t failure.
Success doesn’t require suffering.

We should always question why we do what we do.
Why we lead, push, work, or parent the way we do.
Is it love—or fear? Ego—or purpose?

What does success mean to you?
How does your version of success shape the way you interact with the world?

Just wrapped up an unforgettable week hosting a yoga retreat in beautiful Chacala, Mexico.
Our days were filled with daily movement, nourishing meals, ocean air, swimming, music, dance, laughter, and deep conversations about transitions, releasing, and the importance of true rest.
One of the most powerful moments was gathering for a healing cacao ceremony, opening our hearts even wider.
We arrived as strangers, but we left with our family expanded in the most magical way.
My heart is so full — thank you to everyone who showed up with courage, softness, and so much love.
Until next time.

Coming soon! Join us for a uniquely designed workshop focused on mastering inversions such as handstands, forearm stands, and headstands.

Dive into the art of attention as we guide your body and mind towards a serene state, enabling you to concentrate on your intentions. You’ll initiate and advance the crucial strength required for successful inversions.

Prepare for an invigorating and comprehensive practice aimed at enhancing both your inversion skills and self-assurance. We’ll concentrate on specific body areas, learning various safe entry techniques into inversions. Our focus will be on opening shoulders, strengthening the core and upper back, and discovering the full length of your spine. Most importantly, you’ll gain confidence and clarity as you learn to lift off into inversions using your hands, forearms, and head.

This workshop is ideal for everyone, from beginners learning to kick up against a wall to those already adept at being upside down who seek to refine their movements.

Can’t wait to be hearing waves in the background and teaching yoga once again in beautiful Mar De Jade. Hope you can make it :)

For the second year in a row, we will gather together at Mar de Jade Resort and Retreat Center for our Spring Retreat (April 5-12th, 2025). Why are your guides Maria Bliss & Richard Guevara choosing to host here again?

Location, location, location:
Mar de Jade is nestled between the tropical jungle and the pristine sandy beach of Chacala, México, 1.5 hrs from the busy hub of Puerto Vallarta. This intimate yet accessible resort offers a relaxing, supportive, and inspiring environment in a peaceful fishing village 🇲🇽

Experience:
For over 35 years, Mar de Jade has been home to yoga, meditation and movement retreats. The yoga studio is spacious, comfortable, and boasts beautiful views of the pacific ocean. Imagine a week where each day begins and ends on your yoga mat while the sound of waves accompany your practice. . . 🌊

Down to earth:
The organic farm located right at the Retreat Center provides produce for 3 daily delicious and nourishing meals (included in the cost of your room). Accommodations include comfortable and beautifully appointed private rooms (low inventory!) and shared rooms. The pool and hot tub await you during your relaxation time and spa appointments can be booked throughout the 7-day retreat (not to mention the ocean and sandy beach are just steps away from your room) ⛱

Yoga in action, off the yoga mat:
A huge part of why we are returning is Mar de Jade's non-profit organization. Since 1989 their non-profit Community Projects has supported initiatives like health and wellness programs, youth education, sustainability, and micro-industry projects. All projects are powered by the revenue made at Mar de Jade! Over the last three decades, these projects have had an incredibly meaningful impact on the lives of at-risk youth and struggling families in local communities. This means your booking supports a great cause! ✨

Ready to book to your spot? Head to yogabliss.org/retreats to learn more and save your place. There is limited inventory for private rooms so we encourage you to book soon! Have questions? Send us a direct message 📪

Today I’m overwhelmed with gratitude. I speak a lot about gratitude in almost every class I teach. I’m grateful for my grief, I’m grateful for my losses.
I’m grateful for the joy I get to experience in this life.

I’m grateful for friends & family who were there with kindness and sympathy to offer me comfort when I was struggling. For my parents who always showed me love but also taught me how to be a good man. How to be kind and still stand up for myself.

I’m grateful for a mentor who helped me see myself more clearly and critically.

I’m thankful for friends who keep me honest and remind me to be real & yes they see past the smile.

Im so grateful for Hazel my dog and how she teaches me to approach everyday with curiously and playfulness.

I’m grateful for a job that teaches me as much as it supports me.

I really am grateful for the all the students I’ve met in this practice called yoga who help me see the world in a new way.

I’m grateful for a partner who can keep me accountable and still love me deeply. For brothers who make me smile and make me feel whole.

I’m blessed and sometimes it easy to forget.

It’s true that no amount of regret can change the past or bring people back that we’ve lost.
No amount of worry or anxiety can change the future. It is true though that any amount of gratitude can change the present and bring you back.

It’s true yoga has changed the way I see the world and it will continue to make me smile even on the hard days.

What are you grateful for today? If you ever need some love I got enough to spare
