Canoa Ecuador 

YOGA + SURFING + RELAXING + EXPLORING+
BE FREE BREATHWORK + EXCELLENT FOOD + COMMUNITY

You are invited to a week of unwinding on the beach in the beautiful Canoa, Ecuador. We are so lucky and grateful to have the entire Canoa Suites Beach Lodge! 

Enjoy morning yoga with yours truly, read a good book in a hammock, learn to surf, be fed amazing meals three times a day, take a walk on the beach, take a nap,  unwind with optional evening chill-out sessions including a Be Free Breathwork journey and sweat lodge.

The intention of this retreat is that you have ALL the space and time to choose-your-own-adventure.

Do it all... or do nothing at all.

Watch out.
