A message from Mikala:

Yoga is the secret sauce, once you taste it you’ll wonder how you’ve gone your whole life without it. Since opening my studio less than a year ago I have had many clients tell me they can’t do yoga or yoga’s not for them, who then give yoga a try, and literally keep coming back. The physical movement practice of yoga (asana) is a moving mediation that helps you to get out of your thinking mind and into your body, breath and the precious present moment. When people practice and have those moments where they’re feeling good and anxieties and worry start to disappear, there are these aha moments, breakthroughs, and lifted blocks, that literally all it look was yoga, breathing and just being…THIS is why I love yoga. Yoga is for every BODY. And movement (asana) is just a small part of the yoga practice, breath work, meditation and ethical principles to guide your life, are also pieces of the practice that I cannot wait to share with you.

I believe so much in a balanced life. Yoga helps to keep your physical body and mind flexible, yet strong. What is also fundamental to a long and healthy life is strength and resistance training. The Align and Soul Pura Vida Retreat will also include yoga sculpt and Pilates offerings where we do just that, find ways to create resistance on the body using light weights, bands and your own body weight to help strengthen your bone density and lean muscle mass. The intentional movement offerings, as well as, the workshops, and meditations, will help switch you out of autopilot and into a very intentional aligned and soulful life. If this retreat resonates with you, I’d love you to join the magic…I can’t wait to move and connect with you!
