Imagine sipping on a freshly-cracked coconut, your toes sinking into warm, golden sand, while you watch the sun sink below the horizon, painting the sky with shades of pink, orange, and purple.
It’s not a dream, it’s Playa Potrero, where the days are filled with endless sunshine and the nights echo the gentle lapping of waves on the beach.

Feed Your Soul
Beloved, nourishment is not solely about food. The truth is, many of us are malnourished in multiple aspects of our lives. Fear not, as I have a solution. Along with yoga, our skilled chef can prepare all that you require for a complete and fulfilling existence. Nourish your mind, body, and soul so you can be satiated on every level.

It’s time to unplug from the usual and fully immerse yourself in the nurturing cleansing of this transformative week. So what do you say? Are you ready to escape?
The Beach is
My Happy Place
If you have come to my classes you will often hear me guide you through savasana with the intention of the beach…“smelling the salty breezes and hearing the waves licking the beach, feeling your body cradled by the sand and sensing the warmth of the sun on your face” or something like that.
Watching your body settle into savasana that way, I can tell the beach is your happy place too.
I’ve found for me there is nothing better to recharge my batteries than to be in a state of savasana all day near the water.
For years I have been going on retreats, they have been instrumental in how I take care of myself.
I invite you to join me for an adventure that will set you free from the day to day and help you rediscover the INNER PARADISE of YOUR TRUE SELF.
