Bye Bye, Back Pain! A Transformational Yoga Retreat

March 2 - 9, 2024

Playa el Coco, Nicaragua 

If you've been working with, working on, or swearing at back pain, this might be the retreat for you! Maybe you have a new diagnosis, and not sure what it means for you practically. Learn how to care for your back in all its complexities throughout your personal yoga practice. Enjoy beautiful, fresh food by the beach, float in the pool, and choose your own adventure this week as you learn to work well with the back you have!

Every experience is optional. You can attend the portions that appeal to you and also take personal time whenever you desire. You can build your retreat into a personalized nurturing and transformative experience.
