Enjoy daily morning yoga sessions accompanied by the sounds of songbirds and the flowing creek on a grassy lawn with an ocean view. There will be daily yoga sessions in the morning and late afternoon offered by Jade Marcus, Kiley Mier, and Micha Merrick. Children will go on a nature walk with Belinda Jasmine.
Kiley Mier has been guiding others through the healing power of breathwork for the past four years. This rhythmic, meditative practice softens the mind like leaves rustling in a forest and releases tension like waves retreating from the shore. The three-part breath is done lying down, inhaling first deeply into the belly, then into the chest, followed by an effortless exhale through the mouth, creating a steady flow of energy. Breathwork increases oxygen flow, alkalizes the blood, and releases endorphins, bringing balance and peace to both body and mind. Like the phases of the moon, you are always shifting, and with each breath, you release the old, grow wild and free, and step fully into yourself.
Wind down at the end of each day with a soothing and relaxing sound bath. Songs, crystal bowls, drums and bells will tune your body and mind into a serene state of bliss.
Bring blankets and pillows to get comfortable to snuggle down on the lawn under the stars.
There will be several massage therapists available to schedule a private session with on site… skilled in multiple modalities including deep tissue and Thai massage. See therapist bios for more information about modalities offered. Bring cash or check to pay massage therapist on site.
Tess Mazur is an avid nature lover spending most of her time outdoors hiking, surfing, paddle boarding, camping, building and small scale homesteading. Combining trigger point, deep tissue, myofacial, active release and stretch, she targets attachments and insertions of muscles to bone. Her intuitive therapeutic style focuses on specific areas of discomfort and tension to relieve pain, reduce stress and improve function in the body. She is great at problem solving in whether it be sciatica, shoulder mobility, neck tension or other injury or overuse.
As a full time mother of three beautiful boys, 9, 7, and 4, I enjoy traveling with my family, hitting the beaches, hiking, homesteading, gardening, spending time with good friends, playing music, and connecting with nature and people.
As of 2018, we started a non-profit, National Land Stewards, which involves hosting, outfitting and guiding disadvantaged families in nature. It is my passion to create community, learn from people, and create a brighter more beautiful planet for our children and future generations. I’m excited to meet everyone!
At the age of 16 I discovered the powerful transformative elements of yoga ripple into all areas of my life. Yoga has been my saving grace, giving me a safe space to process emotions through body and breath awareness. I feel extremely passionate to provide a healing space where others can also experience the healing and liberation that yoga has offered me.
I received my 500 hr RYT in 2015 and have dedicated much of my energy to this practice on and off my mat. I have studied psychology at UCSC where I then started The Yoga Collective, a place where the psycho-spiritual-somatic meet. More recently, I have worked in Physical Therapy and am on route to become a licensed PT Assistant.
I aim to inspire people to tune in to their innate wisdom, to guide their lives into heart-centered action. My classes are focused upon precise alignment cues, conscious pranayama practices, and ancient yogic philosophies to energize and motivate you through the rest of your day. Looking forward to practicing with you!
