UNTETHERED JOY RETREAT: HAPPINESS & THE OPEN HEART
with Steve & Talya
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

So much more than just a yoga retreat...
Yoga. Ceremony. Transformation.

People who have been on these retreats return home not only with a new sense of purpose, but with new tools that they can use to choose love, happiness and joy.  They experience a newfound connection to their personal power, with a clearer image of who they are & of how to be that in the world.  

One of the biggest lies we tell ourselves is "I'll be happy when____", making our happiness dependent on external circumstances. And so we suffer and never feel happy for long.  This experiential week will help you invite more permanent Love & Happiness into your life, making them a staple of your experience irrespective of what else is happening around you.  Using yoga, ceremony and other concrete tools and exercises you will develop the knowledge & skills necessary to lead a happier & fuller life.
