Retreat Specialties The increasing demands and pressures of the technological age are challenging. What modern life has offered to you as “normal” can leave you feeling like a zombie. And now, more than ever, it’s time to wake up.

Ubud Yoga Centre in Bali. I had the privilege of teaching there for a couple of years and leading retreats. I loved the family feel, the international audience & a gorgeous view of the valley. What’s your personal definition of what it means to thrive? Someone who is unapologetically themselves, someone who doesn’t wait to have the results in order to give them permission to act. Leaders take the action to move them forward to get thriving results. Who do you look up to ? Who has helped you the most along your teacher / retreat leader journey? Guru Jagat from Rama Institute For Applied Yogic Sciences.
