The Wellness Retreat:

A Week of Yoga, Art + Adventure
w/ Amanda Rose Walsh & Sebastian Alappat
Oct 17 – 24, 2015

 

Join Amanda and Sebastian for The Wellness Retreat: A Week of Yoga, Art + Adventure. Escape to the land where the desert meets the beach in this mystical paradise at Prana del Mar.

 

Enjoy a two-hour morning practice with the focus on fundamentals, alignment and breath. Indulge in clean, conscious food grown from the organic vegetable garden. Explore creativity and your inner artist through guided art classes and mala bead making workshops. Participate in local activities, such as horseback riding and sea turtle hatching while having plenty of down time to chill, relax and rejuvenate. Snorkel in the crystal waters, dance around the bonfire and take a swing in the hammock. The choice is yours.

Amanda Rose Walsh
Amanda Rose is an ambassador of yoga and holistic wellness. She has been a successful yoga teacher, personal trainer and fitness instructor for over a decade. After growing tired of working for corporate gyms, she started her own wellness company, Amanda Rose Wellness, helping people achieve their individualized health goals. She was also a competitive champion boxer but after winning the NY Golden Gloves, she traded her gloves for a yoga mat.

It is a challenging physical experience with an emphasis on finding ease, cultivating self-love, expanding awareness and boundaries all while having fun.
