Retreats to share yoga, authentic experiences and to quiet the static.
Breathe.More.Deeply.
Who We Are
Our brother and sister team, Andrea and Brad, are advocates of feeling good in this body. They love sharing relatable approaches to yoga, fitness and healthy living.
Andrea is an alternate lifestyle lover, dedicated yogi, and mother. She lives on the south Pacific coast of Oaxaca. With the desire to guide yoga students to feel as good as she felt after classes, she began studying yoga seriously 7 years ago building on a practice of 15 years. Having studied in Mexico and India, she is deeply moved by people and their personal yoga stories.
Brad fell in love with yoga 15 years ago and found the practice to be a wonderful supplement to his mountain and road biking. He loves to surf even as a beginner. His long term goal is to squeeze as much adventure out of this life and body as possible. He also wants to share the adventure with as many people as he is able.
Our practices are designed to make your back feel good. This alignment-focused yoga combines restorative, hatha and yin principles. More than “doing” yoga, the practice teaches you to care for your spine by “undoing” the tension created from everyday activities like working on the computer, driving and sitting in chairs. Classes are for all levels, abilities and bodies and can be as challenging as you like with variations and modifications. You will learn exercises to stay vibrant throughout life by keeping your spine flexible.
We are all one. You heal, I heal.
