After graduating college with a master’s degree in Education my wife and I moved to Arizona for a few years to find some sun. After a few years we had our first son and decided we wanted to move back to Oregon to be closer to family. Although education was my passion, I felt the need for a change in my career path. I then entered the world of financial planning, insurance, lending, and other financial markets. I learned and experienced a vast amount of knowledge with my path in finances however in 2010 I made the tough decision to leave my clients with my partner to find something that fed my thirst for adventure. I prospered well, and my clients were more like family, but I couldn’t help but feel there was something else out there for me. The older I got the more convinced I became that finance was not where my passion lies. I wanted to spend the second half of my life doing something I love, and hopefully making a difference in people’s lives. I had no real sense of direction, but I did not care. I just knew I needed to find something that could give me the same satisfaction of teaching and helping, but in a way that I could move and enjoy the outdoors. Those plans all changed one fateful day a couple of years ago.
I awoke one morning in crippling pain and could not walk. I would take a couple of steps and fall over. My father had had a stroke, so I understood enough to know that I was not having a seizure. I was rushed to the hospital to discover I had a vertebra that cracked and ruptured my disk. I was paralyzed for a couple of months. After a surgical consult, I decided a course of physical therapy and exercise was the best option for me. The good news is that it worked and surgical intervention was not needed. My back became stronger than ever, and I was able to surf again. When people ask me why I am so passionate about yoga, exercise, and the power of the mind, I tell them it is not because of the books I have read. It has little to do with the countless hours of videos and study. Instead, it comes from a place of personal trial and error. I think most of us push to get immediate results and do not often give the body enough time to repair itself. It was by no means easy. The physical therapy was intense. I remember one day just staring at my toes trying to get them to move. I had sweat dripping off me and felt like I had done a two-hour cardio class. It was one of the most humbling experiences of my life, but as I sat there, I thought, “Keep going. It can only get better from here.”
My back experience reinforced what I already knew…you never know what life will bring. Travel and explore while you can. After going through my experience, I am more determined than ever to enjoy the moments I get to travel while I can. As part of this, I want to share the joy I find in new adventures. It is truly my hope that I can help as many people as possible to give themselves permission to get away. Put down the phones. Unplug for a week. Remember what it was like not to have the constant ping of the phone in your ear. Feel the force of the ocean crash against your legs as the sun beats down upon your shoulders.
Whether you are here to recharge, or celebrate, it makes no difference. Just allow yourself to let go and find happiness in being in a magical place with people that share many of your same struggles and triumphs. Our goal is to give everyone the space to heal and grow. We are excited to have you on our journey. We have made lifelong friendships and connections through travel and more than anything else I am excited to invite you to be part of our story. You will grow. At times you may hit a wall. It is OK. There is always someone there waiting to help you over it. I look forward to showing you again how wonderful life can be…
Vinyasa means to move with the breath, which is essentially the core of a Vinyasa class. Often called flow yoga, Vinyasa Flow is a style of yoga with focus on transitions and movements with some stationary movements also connected with the breath.
Although Vinyasa is often considered a fast practice, it can also be soft and gentle. Moving with the breath can also mean slowing down your transitions with deep inhales and slow exhalations. In our Relax, Rest and Restore Retreat we will enjoying various Vinyasa and Hatha Yoga flows for Joy, Strength and Inner confidence.
“I love syncing my breath with my body, it’s a moving meditation which helps me to focus my mind and ultimately relax” – Carla.
Yin yoga works deeply into our body with passive, longer-held poses.
It targets the deepest tissues of the body, our connective tissues – ligaments, joints, bones, the deep fascia networks of the body and the meridians. Energetically, Yin yoga improves the energy flow, enhancing the flow of chi in the organs. To be healthy, we need healthy organs as well as healthy muscles. Yin yoga also offers wonderful emotional and mental health benefits.
A Yin yoga class usually consists of a series of long-held, passive floor poses that mainly work the lower part of the body – the hips, pelvis, inner thighs, lower spine. These areas are especially rich in connective tissues. The poses are held for up to five minutes.
Come find some of the best surfing in the world! Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced surfer, you will find Costa Rica has everything you need to experience all the ocean has to offer. The waves outside of Calamocha Luxury Lodge tend to be smaller and less extreme. This creates an ideal place for those that have never surfed, or for people looking to get more beginner experience. Just up the road you will find Hermosa Beach and Santa Teresa where you can watch some of the best local surfers reaping the benefits of years of practice.
We will spend a portion of our time also learning about reading waves and the shoreline. This is one of my favorite aspects of surfing. I can sit on my phone and have a very good idea about what the surf is like in most areas of the world. I will teach you how to navigate swell and duration. We will look at reef and shore breaks. Learn to read any coastline just by watching waves break. Whether or not you stay committed to surfing, this training will give you a much more dynamic understanding of the ocean and a much deeper appreciation of how a wave is formed.
I am asked frequently why I love surfing. I grew up very adventurous. I have played most sports, I can water ski and snowboard. We grew up riding skateboards and roller blades. I appreciate the skill and challenge that surfing presents, but if I am being honest, what I really love about surfing is being a kid again. I still get that same rush every time a wave picks me up that I did when I was a young boy in California jumping into the surf. It is the exhilaration you get from being completely out of control. You are under the complete influence of that wave that can change its mind at any moment. Many times… just a spectator that nature has allowed to participate for a short moment. So, while I do enjoy the exercise that comes with surfing (you will sleep well on those nights), for me it is more than the physical activity. It is growing in a sport that requires a lifetime to master. It is about competing against myself in the most challenging way possible. The love of water. The sounds and the silence. The ocean is a beautiful and powerful force. There are rare moments where you find the perfect harmony with a wave. Balance. Pleasure. Elation. If you open yourself up to the adventure, you will be rewarded with a calm and peace that can be life altering. Find your Blue Mind.

“I had two amazing Yoga practises with Carla in the beautiful Santa Teresa, Costa Rica! From the many classes I attended, hers was the one that made me smile the most and actually feel the joy that yoga should bring. The little Reiki elements were also great and Carla even gave my friend a little gift before she left. Thank you very much Carla!”
