About Chris

Chris brings over 25 years experience teaching yoga and leading retreats. His teaching is influenced by many traditions including Iyengar Yoga, Anusara Yoga, Tibetan Buddhist and other therapeutic practices for the mind and body. Chris teaches and practices as a means to reduce suffering and bring peace in an often times convoluted world. In a time when many seek fulfillment from outside of themselves, Chris invites students to feel more resourced from within and hold greater capacity for love, kindness, patience, and generosity. Expect dynamic engaging practices with Chris that involve moving with the breath, strength-building, and guided meditation integrated with philosophical teachings.

About Nora

A true creative spirit, Nora weaves together her skills as a public health professional, community organizer, health coach, and yoga instructor and is passionate about providing opportunities for healthy living and healthy ways of being with each other and self. Teaching since 2015, her style is informed by alignment-based, Anusara, vinyasa, and restorative yoga.

Nora brings her experience leading coaching groups, yoga classes, and retreats to this tropical setting to provide the ultimate immersive experience rooted in self-care and intention.

Why join

Join Chris and Nora for a week of yoga (3 classes daily: Sunrise meditation, AM align & flow, and evening restorative), healing, and relaxation. Yoga in this tropical setting is nourishing for the soul and provides a retreat from the everyday through movement and breath. Group discussions, individual exercises, and a closing ceremony will also be woven in for reflection, insight, and renewal. You are encouraged to take the time you need on this retreat to both practice yoga, but also connect with your own heart, be with friends, and play! All levels welcome, no yoga experience required.
