One night after dinner I headed back to my room fully planning to shower, read, and go to bed early.

Then I heard laughter outside.
I thought it was louder parties at our shared bar. 🙄

A few minutes later I got a text:

“come play mermaids.”

I assumed they meant cards or some kind of game.

The next text was this video clip.

I went outside and saw no one at the bar.

Instead, two grown women in the pool pretending to be mermaids and absolutely crying with laughter.

Within minutes I was changing back into my swimsuit and joining them.

Retreat life. Those opportunities that arise and you choose to LIVE.

Somewhere between the yoga, ocean, sunsets, conversations, and slowing down… people start remembering how to PLAY again.

Not perform.
Not produce.
Not manage everyone else.
Not because of expectations or obligations.

Just… to be human.

Early bird pricing for Costa Rica ends May 31 (fyi that is REALLY close) and it’s a big big savings 😳

“I can’t take time away right now.”
-One of the statements I hear most in talking about retreats.

Unfortunately, most of us don’t slow down until we’re already completely exhausted.

Listen, there will always be work waiting, laundry, emails, responsibilities at home…

Sometimes you have to choose to pause before life forces you to.

That’s a big part of why I said started saying yes.

What is holding you back?
Is it truly a season… or has it become a never-ending cycle of waiting for everything to be “right” first?

Most people come to a retreat not knowing anyone.

And they leave feeling like they found something they didn’t even realize they needed.

Connection.

There’s something really special about stepping away from your normal routines and being surrounded by people who simply want to slow down, breathe deeper, and experience life a little more fully.

This retreat has never been about being “good” at yoga.

It’s about learning to live well.

Don’t forget- 🐥Early bird pricing ends this month.

I created these retreats because I know how easy it is to stay in go-mode all the time.

This is a space where you don’t have to do that.

You don’t have to be “good” at yoga. You don’t have to know anyone. You don’t have to show up any certain way.

You just come as you are.

✨What a day at the retreat feels like ✨

This isn’t just a yoga retreat.

It’s waking up without rushing.
Coffee that you actually sit and enjoy.
Laughing with people who were strangers a few days ago.
Time to slow down instead of constantly moving to the next thing.

This is what most of our days looked like.

Simple. Spacious. Exactly what so many of us don’t get enough of.

Early bird pricing ends May 31 (~$500 savings)

If this has been on your mind at all… take a closer 👀

I love to travel…
to see new places, experience new things, and have those little adventures you end up talking about for years.

I also really love a good deal. You can ask my kids. My favorite (and slightly dangerous 🫣) word is “sale.”

So when those two things come together, I feel like I have to share it.

Today is May 1, which means there’s officially one month left for early bird pricing on our Costa Rica yoga retreat.

That’s about a $500 savings depending on your room, which is a pretty big difference. 😲

If this retreat has crossed your mind at all, I’d take a few minutes to look into it.

All you need to do is decide and put down a deposit to hold your spot.

It’s going to be a really special week- movement, ocean air, time to slow down, space to just be…. and of course, monkeys!

If it’s been on your mind, this might be your moment.

Life is a journey — not something to rush through on autopilot.
How often do we say “someday” and keep putting off the moments that would truly feed our soul?

When’s the last time you created a memory outside of the everyday life?

Standing here on the rocks in Costa Rica, I’m reminded: the time is now. To lift my gaze to the horizon and live fully.

Stop going through the motions. Stop waiting for tomorrow.
Choose to live. Choose to breathe. Choose to step into the life you’ve been longing for ✨

My Saltwater & Soul Yoga Retreat is almost full.
I’m working on room assignments this week.
Are you craving movement, renewal, and adventure in paradise?

👉 Secure your spot today — before “someday” slips away.

✨ Mindful May Day 28- Rest & Renewal ✨
>>> How do I renew myself?

In yoga, we remind students again and again: Come back to the breath.
It may seem repetitive, but our minds scatter so quickly that these gentle cues are necessary. The same holds true in life.

We need reminders—sometimes even scheduled appointments—to not just move our bodies, but to play, to rest, to renew.

So today, take a look at your schedule. Where have you made space for stillness?
Maybe it’s a calming yin yoga session. Maybe it’s time with a good book, a walk outside, or simply closing your eyes for a few moments.

Don’t treat rest like a reward for productivity. It’s essential. It’s powerful. It deserves a place on your calendar.

📸: during a quiet moment on our Costa Rica yoga retreat—proof that rest can be just as transformative as movement.
(And yes… 2026 retreat dates are already on the calendar 😉)

What are you doing today to rest and renew?
