About this trip

Join us in the magical Yucca Valley for 5 days of bliss. Get ready to venture into alien landscapes with Holly Colino, who will lead us through daily yoga and meditation for rejuvenating, restoring, and healing the bod. We’ll stay at Cactus Moon Retreat, a stylish private property with an on-site yoga studio, located a short drive from town and Joshua Tree National Park. Expect days full of movement and relaxation, desert exploration and lounging at the pool, and evenings of stargazing around the fire pit, a night out in Pioneertown (including live music and barbecue at Pappy + Harriet’s), and a surprise evening activity. And of course, no trip to the high desert would be complete without a visit to the Integratron for the ultimate sound bath experience.

  • 4 nights accommodation
  • twice-daily yoga
  • breakfast & dinner
  • Integratron sound bath
  • one surprise activity

What’s not included

Reviews

Excellent teachers and course content overall. Sustain: Vermont kickoff; overall schedule and structure of the program. Improve: limit the training to 10 people. We spent half of each Wednesday doing "check-ins" with 17 people. I wouldn't sign up for a training like this again if there were 17 people, and I'm not sure I can recommend it if it is going to continue to be this big. Not enough time to practice teaching in a real-life studio setting because the class size was too big. Could you schedule training days with props at the studio that has the props versus asking us to drive the props around Brooklyn? Spoke the Hub is a dirty, sub-par facility that distracted us from the training. Consolidate Yamas/Niyamas (it was spread out too much) and add at least one session on the Pranayama limb of yoga and how to incorporate it into our teaching. Add a writing requirement for yoga philosophy. As much as I like anatomy and understand its importance, it felt like too much anatomy. Add a session on post-partum awareness on the same day as pre-natal awareness/assists. Add a session on trauma-informed assists. Next year, have the finals in one Heatwise studio versus spread out around town.
