I’m back from retreat (my 20th, 21st, and 22nd in beautiful Nosara, Costa Rica) and trying to hold on to the lightness of life in the tropics as the world quickly presses in and responsibility resumes.

Jack Kornfield wrote a whole book about this moment. After the Ecstasy, the Laundry — the title alone says everything. Profound transformation and dirty dishes. Insight and inbox. Both true, both yours, both happening at the same time.

There’s something about the magic that unfolds when we step out of our lives for a moment to restore ourselves. Some of it is pure joy — laughter, ease, the relief of just being. And some of it is quieter than that. When we’re no longer managing every detail, a different kind of knowing has space to rise. A higher view. The kind of clarity that was there all along — just waiting for us to get quiet enough to hear it.

I don’t share this to brag. I share it because I think most of us are overdue for something like it.

We need to gather with our people outside of ordinary time. Explore new landscapes, get outside, laugh hard, move our bodies, and make new memories. You don’t need me for any of that — though I love being the one to plan every detail so you don’t have to.

No meals to plan, no dishes to wash, no next thing to manage. Just space to step away from responsibility and let someone take care of you for a change. I know “holding space” sounds a bit “woke” or “woo” to some. But I love it. It perfectly describes what I’m passionate about—and I’m not “woo” at all.

This year, I returned home stronger than I have felt in years — from daily yoga, nourishing food, and time in nature away from screens. Back in the mountains, I’m figuring out how to hold onto some of that in real life. Twenty minutes in the morning before I open my phone. A walk with our dog, Mila. Choosing quiet over a podcast. Nothing dramatic — just small choices that add up.

With love (& a pile of laundry) ✨

10 years of offering this magical retreat have proven that the week outside regular life is a vital reset for all who participate. For some, this is an annual retreat; a timestamp within each year to connect, reflect, and redirect. For others, it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that inspires change and recentering. For all of us, it is a return to what is most important, a time to connect with ourselves and each other, and with all the beauty and love that there is.

Thank you for bringing yourselves so fully to the jungle once again.

See you for the 2027 Costa Rica Yoga. Surf. Retreat.

I'm beaming in from the warmth of Costa Rica, where the howler monkeys wake us at dawn, and the only breaking news is whether the tide at sunset will be low enough to float in tidal pools. I know the contrast isn't lost on either of us—you bundled against January, me barefoot with salt in my hair.

So I'm tucking a few tropical moments into your inbox. Not to show off, but to remind us both that these pockets of ease exist. That we can step away. That there's a rhythm underneath all the noise, and sometimes you just need to go somewhere warm to hear it again.

This poem, by Alessandra Olanow, has been one we've returned to all week. 💜

There is a place where
the sea meets the sky,
where boundaries
dissolve into something
unnamed and perfect.
I love to dwell in this
in-between space,
this gentle blur
that defies definition.
Here, in this margin
between azure depths
and endless heavens,
there is no need to
choose sides or
claim territory.
It simply exists,
as I wish to exist—
undefined,
uncategorized,
unclaimed,
free from the weight of
belonging to one world
or another.
In this liminal space,
being is enough.

I hope these words—and the images that follow—offer a little warmth and lightness to your day.

A few years ago, a friend came to yoga wearing the most beautiful purple pants. I swooned over the color. & after class, I asked where she got them—half-jokingly offering to buy them. She graciously agreed.

Later, while texting to thank her, I went searching for an emoji that matched the exact shade of purple. That’s when I spotted it—right there between the pineapple and the lettuce. The eggplant. Perfect. So I added it enthusiastically. 🍆🍆🍆🍆 🍆

Not long after, I was texting with someone joining me on retreat. I wanted to end our message with excitement, so I added a string of tropical emojis: 🌴☀️🧘🏻🌊🐒💫 And sitting there in my “recently used”? The eggplant. 🍆 So I tossed it in, just to be random.

To be funny. Over the next few weeks, I sent a handful of messages with yep… you guessed it—the eggplant. And occasionally, the conversation would just stop. No reply. I didn’t think much of it.

Months later, in a text exchange with my sister, she says: “Ten! You do know what the eggplant emoji means, don’t you?!?”
I did not. So I looked it up. In case you don’t know either: the eggplant emoji is widely recognized internet slang for… a suggestive reference to a p***s. It’s typically used in flirtatious or sexual contexts.

You can imagine my horror. I recalled everyone I’d sent it to—friends, family, and yes… even women I hadn’t yet met. Those mysteriously dropped conversations made a lot more sense. Once the shock wore off, I found the whole thing hilarious. There I was—trying to be lighthearted and playful—completely unaware of how my messages might be landing. I still laugh about it.

This year, my friend Mackenzie—who knows this whole story—gifted me an eggplant Christmas ornament. It now hangs proudly on my tree—a reminder that miscommunication happens, often in unexpected ways.

So here’s a gentle reminder: Be kind. Be generous in your assumptions. Give people some grace. If someone’s words land strangely—or an emoji feels confusing—maybe pause before jumping to conclusions. There may be a well-meaning, playful human on the other side.

(And if you ever received a 🍆 from me, it was purely nonsensical. Sorry about that. 😊)

Fresh from another Day of the Dead retreat, I'm struck by the importance of savoring this one life. I can’t stop reflecting on what the Día de Mu***os celebrations teach so well: life is meant to be lived fully, honored deeply, and not put off for someday.

In Mexico, that truth isn’t whispered—it’s lived, with color and candles, laughter and tears, remembrance and celebration braided into one. The experience gently but insistently asks: What matters most? What are we waiting for? What do we want to do with this one life we have?

That's the gift of travel. Not just seeing new places, but seeing ourselves a little differently—clarifying what we value, releasing what we don’t, and remembering how good life feels when shared with others.

Whether you join me or create adventures of your own—I encourage you: don’t wait.

Doors open this week for my 2026 Day of the Dead Yoga & Culture Retreat in Mexico. If you've been curious about this lively, yet heartfelt, experience, I'd love for you to join me. Click the link in my bio for more details. Or send me a message—I'm here and happy to answer your questions.

What an incredible privilege to join the Catrina Parade in San Miguel de Allende — a celebration of life, memory, and connection. Through painted faces, flowers, and steps through windy cobblestones streets, we were welcomed into a tradition that honors those we have loved and lost.

Miss you pappy 🖤

“Life is about the adventures you take and the memories you make. So travel often and live life with open eyes and an open heart.” – Katie Grissom

I'm beaming in from vibrant San Miguel de Allende, where the streets are alive with preparations for Día de Mu***os. Cobblestone streets echo with church bells, and the air smells like copal and marigolds. What a gift it is to return to this magical little city that our family called home for two years. I hope someday you'll be able to fully experience all the colors, sounds, flavors, & smells!

If you've been curious about what we do on this retreat, stay tuned—I'll share more retreat snippets this week.

After leading 25+ retreats, I'm often asked: "Which retreat experience is better—Costa Rica or Mexico?" The truth is, both are extraordinary—they just feed different parts of your soul. One is a full body and being reset and the other is a feast for the soul and senses.

For a little journey through both...find the link to my blog in my bio.

There is something special about returning to places you love, places that feel magical, places that feel like home. Sipping my morning coffee, I opened a new book of poems, SAME by Hannah Rosenberg, to a random page. Here's where I landed...

"The places I've lived are like people I love.
Making me think that all our significant
relationships in life don't need to be mammals.
Cities have heartbeats, towns and villages
have a soul. The coffee shops, the streets
I call home, my favorite Friday night restaurants.
The sidewalks, the trees I don't notice
until I do, the places I jog, the benches
I sit on, the water I used to look at every day.
In the end, I'lll take pieces of these places with me.
In the end, I hope these places will keep pieces of me, too."

thank you, San Miguel de Allende, for being one of my most enchanting relationships. xo

About Tener Rogers Yoga

Tener believes that yoga is for everybody—or quite literally, every body—and her classes reflect this. Her lighthearted approach to yoga creates a warm, welcoming environment for all who practice with her. Her classes offer a unique blend of precise alignment; deliberate, thoughtful sequencing; and a whole lot of laughter and joy.

Tener’s balanced, accessible approach to yoga is the result of her own journey through the fitness industry. She has a degree in exercise science, as well as years of experience as a fitness instructor and personal trainer—but yoga is now the glue that holds it all together. Day after day, she is drawn back to her mat, both as a student and a teacher. Tener appreciates the transformative power of yoga and she shines in her ability to hold space for her students and to create a fun, nurturing, and supportive environment. Tener wants her students to leave class feeling open—in body and heart.

A certified Yoga Alliance instructor, Tener completed her 500 hr RYT at the Nosara Yoga Institute in Costa Rica and continues to expand her practice by studying with other yoga masters at every opportunity. Her vinyasa classes are flavored with influences from the Anusara tradition. Off the mat, Tener practices yoga in the form of mothering, traveling, spending time in nature, and inspiring women to make healthy, lasting lifestyle change.
