"This retreat changed my life. As someone who had felt like life wasn't being lived unless it was at 1000 mph, I needed to eat, stretch, + nap.... and that is exactly what I did! Cat + Brian led us through almost 4 hours of yoga + meditation per day [a huge increase from my typical 0] ++ showed me that slowing down allows you to live life to the fullest."
-Sarah Clem, EAT STRETCH NAP™ Retreat Participant

what does a day look like on an eat stretch nap retreat?
Imagine waking up to the sound of the ocean and soft light of the sunrise. Gently ease your body and mind into the day with a deep full body stretch, mindful movement, guided breathing, and all the hands-on adjustments your body craves. Afterward, eat as much as want during a buffet style organic breakfast…mm! The rest of the day is completely yours to choose what fits your style: you can chill out on the beach, hike through the jungle, kayak through the sea, perfect your watercolor skills, explore hidden waterfalls, zip line from tropical treetop to treetop, learn to surf, get an ocean-side massage that makes you feel like a thin mint, drink margaritas and eat chips + guac literally all day – it’s up to you! There’s so much to do!
We’ll close down the night together with a sweaty vinyasa yoga practice focused on strengthening your core followed by a workshop on how to incorporate Ayurvedic Self-Care into your normal day. Then you can freshen up in your open-air hot shower and put your party clothes on for a gourmet, Mexican-inspired dinner with all your new friends. Let the twinkling stars and gentle darkness seduce you into a gorgeous restful sleep – or stay up all night dancing to Despacito by Justin Bieber…it’s your choice! You do you :)
