How Is This Retreat Unique?! Why Attend?!

This retreat experience is intentionally small and more accessible. There are only 6 separate rooms to book at this private beachfront casa, so snag your spot soon! Our retreat group will have the entire property to ourselves. Meals will be prepared locally and we will gather around the table family-style in community over fresh local foods OR you may explore the cute beach bars + restaurants within walking distance to our casa.

We will practice 2x/day, focusing on yoga, strength + conditioning, technique and assists designed to create more confidence in handstand and forearm stand shapes.

This will be an intentionally small retreat group so that you may receive personal attention and assistance for your practice, get your questions answered, and have the time to explore challenging shapes under the guidance of an expert handstand artist & coach. You WILL progress your practice during this retreat!

  • 4 nights / 3 full days at Casa Manana - a lux beachfront private property in La Ventana, Mexico

  • 2 practices/day - 7 practices in total, focused on handstand + forearm stand training through modern yoga, strength + conditioning, technique and assists

A Note from Nicki

I’ve attended 2 retreats as a student, and this will be my 3rd retreat to lead. I LOVE these experiences because it allows us a specific buffer between our regular routines, dedicated time to immerse in something interesting to us, a chance to rediscover elements of ourselves at a deeper level, and to create and connect with a new community of like-minded spirits.

One thing that has always bothered me about retreats though is how inaccessible they can be. It’s not always possible for us to vacate our lives for a week+ at a time, or to gather $5k+ to be able to have an experience like this.

SO! I am creating an opportunity and intend on doing so annually to offer a shorter, closer retreat option that feels more accessible geographically, financially, and time-wise.

This Retreat Is For You If…

  • You are just beginning your handstand journey & want expert guidance

  • You want to advance your current inversion practice - graduate from kicking up to pressing, or learn to play with various entries/exits and upside down shapes

  • You want to learn better tools to teach inversions

  • You’ve never thought about handstands before but want to gift yourself a new experience, do something that makes your future self proud, accomplish something you didn’t think was possible

  • You love to travel, want an accessible vacation to a beautiful beach with amazing food, people, views + activities
