YogAdventure: We Don’t Break, We Bend

We don’t break. We bend. This mantra has guided our Shiva Yoga Shala community during these challenging times and will serve as our theme for this year’s YogAdventure with Nick Montoya. We would love for you to join us for a six-night retreat in Baja, Mexico at a top-rated oceanside yoga and wellness center.

Nick Montoya, E-RYT 500 and YACEP, founder of the Ageless Program, retreat leader, and owner of the Shiva Yoga Shala will guide us through an array of meditation and yoga classes that will hold sacred space for self-exploration and transformation and will leave you plenty of time for fun in the sun adventures.

Excursions and visits to local towns are also available if you have a desire to explore. There is something for everyone: surfing, sea turtle releases, kayaking & snorkeling, horseback riding, hiking, cooking, and more…

Nick has led retreats in Ecuador, Sedona, Costa Rica, Florida, Monterey/Carmel, Ca, and Alpine, Az. He is an E-RYT 500 and owns the Shiva Yoga Shala in Fort Myers, Florida. In 2008, after a successful 30-year career in senior management at a Fortune 50 company, he left the corporate world to teach yoga. Nick credits yoga for saving his life and has since dedicated his life to helping others heal and get healthy through yoga and meditation.

Nick Montoya
“Momentum Unleashed” are two words that describe what Nick Montoya is about. Nick has one clear objective: To unleash the momentum that is within each of us to live a happy, fulfilling, passionate life.

Nick discovered yoga after retiring from a 27-year career at a Fortune 50 company. His eldest daughter insisted he attend a class to ease the chronic back pain and life-threatening ailments. After his first practice, Nick knew that yoga was the answer…and the rest is history. Nick completed 200 hours of Yoga TT from Zuda Yoga in Sacramento and completed YogaWorks Bridge Training in Los Angeles. He has since gone on to earn his 300-hour certification from My Vinyasa Practice, making him an E-RYT 500 teacher and YACEP.

He founded The Ageless Program as a way to make yoga accessible to everyone, no matter age or physical ability. His inspiring story of transformation has been featured in The Yoga Journal, numerous articles, and the book, The Yoga Diaries.

Nick teaches both Yang and Yin modalities. His classes are beloved all over the US, and leaves each student inspired, uplifted, and transformed. Nick has led numerous retreats throughout his life and, since taking up yoga, has led eight YogAdventure Retreats.

Six years ago he opened up his first yoga studio in Fort Myers, Florida, the Shiva Yoga Shala, which has been voted the #1 yoga studio in SW Florida. Nick has developed the curriculum, led five cohorts of yoga teacher trainings, and has established a comprehensive community outreach program. He has established an equestrian yoga program and his studio is the only one that offers Aqua Yoga classes in SW Florida.

Nick’s biggest accomplishment is being a single father to three amazing daughters.
