Do you need a well deserved break from your busy life?  A little "me time"?  This is a lifetime opportunity to sleep in paradise, wake up with the howler monkeys, eat healthy-delicious food, go on new adventures, receive the best massage ever, meet new friends, read a book, write a story, and practice yoga on a spectacular yoga deck looking out over the healing Pacific ocean in Nicaragua.  Wendy and Lucy are together again!  These two inspiring women have led "life changing" retreats in Morocco and now are teaching for the first time in Nicaragua!  Their students describe their retreats as a "perfect balance of mind, body & spirit".  You will learn to feel and be aware of your healing centers "Chakras", your breath, allow your mind to be free of thoughts so you can be open to experience clarity, happiness and possibly something else on a new level!  You will begin each morning with meditation, learning to feel and open a different Chakra, flowing with your breath, awakening your senses, creating better balance, relieving tired and sore muscles, a 15 minute svasana, and really having a lot of fun in a energizing Vinyasa yoga class.  Following class, your mouth and body will love you when you are eating Nicaragua's local fruit and a healthy, nourishing breakfast.  What's next?  The day is yours to do what you like.  There are so many exciting options.  Choose from a massage or spa treatment, learn to surf, swing in the jungle on a canopy tour, hike a volcano, go kayaking, explore surrounding cities, and more.  One massage and group activity is included in your package.  Every evening you will learn to listen to your body and surrender with the setting sun in a restorative yoga class.  Evening classes will focus more directly on the Chakra for the day.  You will get to hold postures for longer periods of time, which will allow you to feel them in your body and unblock channels that may be blocked.  You will learn new pranayama and Kriyas, "breathing and cleansing techniques" which have so many benefits, some of our favorites are:  Reduce stress, improves health and well being, strengthen the immune system, increase energy levels, become more creative, balance your sleep/wake cycle, and enhances your yoga and meditation practice.  We still have spaces left!  Everyone welcome...men, women, couples, mother/daughter, father/son, brother/sister...Come and change your life!

Wendy fell in love with yoga in the spring of 1995. Her journey began as a Bikram Yoga student practicing many times a week. After moving to San Diego in 1998 she began practicing Ashtanga, Vinyasa, and Hatha yoga, as well as exploring the many benefits of meditation. She began to notice many changes happening within her, not only physically but mentally and spiritually as well. Yoga was changing her life & she wanted to teach others what she had learned. She completed a 200 hour Yoga Alliance program focusing on Power Vinyasa Hot Yoga in San Diego. She then integrated the teachings and various traditions she had learned and experienced into her own classes to make the practice & understanding of living yoga accessible to all. She has traveled in parts of Asia learning from other amazing teachers which have inspired her to travel and teach around the world. For the past 6 years, Wendy has lived and taught in San Diego, Guam, Thailand, Morocco, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. This has brought to her life a positively serene consciousness that she intends to expand & spread to others! She inspires her students to flow with and listen to the breath, open the heart, live in the present, relax the mind, & to know that whatever emotions you experience are good for you. She truly loves teaching and hopes to inspire others through-out her life long journey.  You will become a "new you"  when you spend a week with her!






Lucy has been practicing yoga for 8 years. Originally inspired to find peace of mind, the extensive benefits of practicing yoga, including strength and flexibility, have helped her remain dedicated. The practices of yoga including Meditation and Pranayama, have furthered her personal practice and the step to becoming a yoga teacher seemed a natural progression.  Lucy chose to train in Flow Yoga, a dynamic approach designed to work with the breath, moving through the postures, calming the mind and strengthening the body, providing a demanding yet rewarding class. Based in the UK but having taught internationally, she has spent time teaching in surf camp in Morocco allowed me to fully dive into the flowing water element of yoga, combining yoga with the waves.  Lucy also teaches a Restorative Yoga Class, a strong, still, yet effective style of holding the postures for up to ten minutes, in order to let the muscles relax into their position, allowing the mind to become reflective and the body to detox.  "I like to include Pranayama in my classes, the art of breath awareness and control, to harness energy. Essential in all yoga practice but ideal for the less-abled, welcoming mindfulness into the body"  Her colleagues have described her as “an inspirational and experienced teacher” who will guide you through daily yoga classes in a variety of styles suitable for all levels.”
