Affirm YES!

Also maybe it’s time you take that trip you’ve always wanted to, say that thing you never said, give yourself permission to rest…

Does this resonate?!

✋🏻hands up if in 2025 you need a life reset!

✋🏻hands up if in 2025 you need a life reset!

I never could’ve predicted that the impulsive decision I made to go to yoga school would lead me on the greatest adventure of my life- traveling alone to over 50 countries, chasing all of my passions and dreams, feeling fearless in the world, running yoga retreats of my own and eventually starting @yogaacademyinternational - what would become one of the best yoga schools globally.   It’s crazy. I thought I was running away, but I was actually running toward. (Toward the life that was meant for me.)

I ran away and found myself

I ran from what I thought I was supposed to do and ended up finding my destiny and my life’s purpose.   So if you’re feeling the urge to run away, let us catch you! Let our team at @yogaacademyinternational hold you while you figure out whatever it is makes your heart come alive. Let us support you while you chase your dreams. Or maybe you just need a 1-3-week vacation in oceanfront paradise where you do yoga every day.   Either way, we’re here for you.   I started a yoga school to pay it forward- to give back the gift I had been given at my yoga school all those years ago: becoming friends with myself and being supported in becoming whomever I was meant to be. This is what we do at Yoga Academy International- support and encourage you to be your best self. That being said, our school is NOT vegan, we DO have wifi, you CAN use your phone and we have electricity + really comfy rooms.   Ready to run away? Comment YTT and I’ll tell you more!

In one word what are you manifesting in 2025?

I’m not gonna lie
2024 was rough.

This was a year full of grief, heartache, learning to let go, learning to accept, admitting failure, processing defeat.
I felt beaten down, punched out, hopeless, directionless, confused, sad, angry and frustrated.

I feel like loads of us felt this way. I think 2024 was a tough year for many of us!

2025: bring on peace, ease, joy, more laughter, community, memories, abundance.

WHO’S with me?!

I hope I never grow up actually
I hope I can keep childhood wonderment and curiosity within me forever. I hope I can always stay playful and goofy…

Chakra-Vinyasa luxury yoga retreat & training ⬇️

in the Mayan Riviera .

7 days, 7 chakras.

One of the most transformative yoga immersions you will ever take

Want to know exactly where this is happening? Leave a comment!

This is a yoga retreat and teacher training like no other.
We will practice soulful vinyasa flows and immerse ourselves in the study of the chakras while also using local Mayan ceremony and traditions for healing. This is a deep and beautiful yoga retreat and teacher training experience.

This is for yoga practitioners AND yoga teachers who want to learn MORE about themselves and how our bodies and minds impact how we are in the world. Yoga teachers can get 60hrs toward their 300hr YTT and non-yoga teachers can go wayyyy deeper into your practice and understanding of ancient yoga philosophy and wisdom.

You won’t believe how gorgeous our private retreat center is…We’re talking fire pits, cenotes, sound bath rooms, pools, its own pickleball court, yoga Shala... and SO much more.

Leave any comment if you want to hear more about this experience, tag a friend below and you’ll both get $100 off. 💜💜

🙄 Ladies who travel alone- is this relatable?

🙄
Ladies who travel alone- is this relatable? What other questions do you get??

As a woman who has travelled solo for 15 years to more than 50 countries, I get these questions all the time!!! I don’t consider myself especially brave or fringe or out there… I’m just a woman who wanted to see the world so I went for it! I hope I can inspire you to do it too! This is a one of the reasons I started leading yoga retreats- to invite women who wanted to travel to join in and meet other amazing like-minded women too! Most people who come on my retreats come alone! Many have never solo travelled, but then they join and realize how empowering it is to take the leap, try something out of their comfort zone. Not only are they caught after the leap, but they are held, seen, celebrated and usually have the time of their lives.

Have you ever solo travelled? How was it?

There was no set path. There was no map. For 15 y

There was no set path. There was no map.
For 15 years I’ve been traveling the world and sharing memorable experiences with people using yoga as the guide. We move. We laugh. We cry. We pray. We make memories to last for years to come.

I didn’t know the how. I didn’t know the route. I just knew I had a mission to see the wonders of the world and share it with others. Somehow with sheer will, tenacity and flying by the seat of my pants I made it happen. 50 yoga retreats, 55 countries, thousands of people joining in the adventure. Trail blazers. Souls brave enough to jump out of their comfort zone and say yes to adventures with me all around the globe.

Many who come on my yoga retreats return again and again, year after year. They dive in the first time and then just trust me to come back, knowing all they have to do is book a flight and I’ll do the rest… my retreats aren’t like others. They’re magical. I put my heart and soul into making moments meaningful and special.

If you’re wanting to come on an adventure like this, I’ve got spaces left for Portugal and Mexico in the upcoming year. Message me about it!

If you know you have a gift to offer and you want to lead retreats of your own, I’d love to hold your hand and mentor you through the process. Don’t be shy. Reach out. 💜

Imagine coming back from a trip and actually feeli

Imagine coming back from a trip and actually feeling rejuvenated. No “vacation hangover” or post-trip exhaustion.

Instead, you return feeling more like you—calm, connected, and ready to jump back into life with renewed energy.
That’s the essence of the Portugal Yoga Retreat happening this May in Ericeira.

Picture yourself waking up in a beautiful boutique retreat center overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Your day begins with soulful yoga in a Shala with ocean views. Every breath feels like a reset.

You’ll have time to relax, savor local food, explore Ericeira’s charming cobblestone streets, and meet other amazing women who, like you, want to step away from their busy lives to truly reconnect.

Curious? This isn’t just any yoga retreat; it’s a chance to come home to yourself.
