Restore & Reset Yoga Retreat

   

Give yourself a much needed reset, while also creating a daily set of practices to take home and gift you harmony in daily life!

As humans, a secret of life is we must learn to cultivate inside, what we wish to experience in life. Through the power of yoga we can do this, together! For this special 2024 retreat, please join Rachel and Eric of Centered City Yoga, in coming together to create space to heal our hearts and open to peace, love, humanity and light. We will do this through asana, vinyasa, meditation, journaling, speaking, silence, and general mindfulness. Return home with tools to continue on your own, and share with your loved ones. Come home to your heart, and discover peace and remember your value as a sacred sentient being.

“Our intention for this special week of relaxation, yoga, meditation, breath work, and enjoying the amazing retreat space, is to allow the sacred environment to restore each soul to its essence, while dissolving all stress through the natural wild of the desert and sea, merged with conscious renewal”

~ Love, Rachel

Enjoy one full week that is all about loving you and cultivating space for connection to your heart and others. You will be nurtured in mind, body and spirit, through structured yoga practices, meditation, pranayama, nourishing food, and a peaceful landscape. You will also have the opportunities for additional outings, or to simply relax and allow the sound of the ocean waves against the shore refresh your soul.

When you return home, you will bring with you a tool-set useful for daily life. These consciously developed tools will be woven throughout the wisdom of your deep intelligence. They will assist you to reset daily, and remember no matter where you are, you can open to peace, strength and courage to move through all challenges. Learn to unveil your authentic self through the power of yoga.

Each day will offer an all levels vigorous morning practice, and a restorative evening practice (which may be yin, yoga Nidra, restorative, meditation, or a choice of our students). We will also offer several lectures on health and truly living your best life.

“The Prana del Mar retreat is special. I have made deep connections and always leave feeling beautifully nourished and strengthened. The food is delicious, the bodywork is magic, the people are loving. I feel spaciousness and freedom during my retreat and this relaxes some of the stuck places allowing for deep healing and movement.”

Eric Martin
Eric Martin is an example of a highly successful businessman living a balanced yogic lifestyle. He holds a B.S. in computer science, with an MBA in finance. He has spent 30+ years assisting the turn-around of distressed businesses in many industries.

In 2003, Eric met Manju Jois. Eric was changed by Manju’s powerful and authentic teaching ability. Manju is the pure lineage of Ashtanga since his father Pattabhi Jois passed away in 2009.

He teaches a simple, profound practice that sets Eric and anyone who dedicates to learning under him apart from all who teach an incomplete yoga style. Eric teaches yoga with the spirit of Manju in his heart. He stays close to roots of lineage, with perfect adjustments and a humble, yet empowering voice.

Eric is also a student of Srivatsa Ramaswami, learning Vinyasa Krama. Srivatsa is a humble, yet powerful yogi, of deep lineage, and holds true to the teachings of his teacher, T. Krishnamacharya. Since meeting Sri, Eric’s teaching has evolved to blend in the strength, and depth of both of his teachers in a beautiful way.
