(I crossed it fearless !!!! The HEAT. OH THE UNBELIEVABLE UNMERCIFUL. HEAT !!! The hundreds. I means HUNDREDS! Of steps into the holy water purification temple. (I don’t know what was harder up or down !!!the being immersed under heavy water flow to let go and be renewed The Sometimes very painful massage at the healer Ketut Jaya Healer.

Intentional Growth with Incredible Care
I absolutely loved my yoga trip with Drishti Journeys - I had the joy of being in Sayulita Mexico with Anna Maria 9 a dear friend who led the yoga sessions). I dove into each planned activity and was rewarded by inner growth and how I view the world, I gained a new amazing community of people who are also doing the same work, and was blessed with this container created by the trip facilitators - Reinier in particular. Everything that was planned and executed for this retreat was intentional and heartfelt. I was able to experience the culture and local land and food, as well as have the space to explore what I needed to work on with my own yoga and mindfulness practice. I was impressed by the hardworking and caring people who led this trip and made it so rich and rewarding for the whole group. <3

A retreat facilitated by great, caring, warm people filled with workshops, cultural education and yoga for the mind body and heart!
The Sayulita retreat was an amazing experience that far exceeded my expectations. The workshop leaders, the cultural representatives introducing local culture, and meditation and yoga instuctors were all so inviting and fun. They introduced us to the culture of Mexico by allowing us to participate in an indigenious Cacao Ceremony. They created a safe space for self-discover that allowed me to push past my habitual boundaries, both emotionally and physically, through regular group work sessions, guided meditations, an ice bath workshop and daily liberating yoga sessions.
This may sound like a lot for a 5 days, and it was! But what made it so amazing was the group of people Reinier assembled to guide us on the journey and allowed the group of retreaters to bond into what felt like a supportive family. I am very thankful to all the fun, loving, accepting and caring people i got to know on this all-too-brief retreat.

You never know when you will find someone who makes a space that changes your life.
After more than 15 years of yoga practice, under wonderful yoga teachers, what can i say about Anna-Maria? I had the privilege to take Anna's yoga class for 6 months at a local studio before she moved away. So, I probably attended around 2 dozen of her yoga classes. not many, right? Anna’s class approach transformed my yoga practice, I did wheel posture after having given up on wheel for years. I cannot quite put my finger on why her teaching gifts are so powerful. Her teaching style was very good, the set and setting of the studio was also very good. But I have been given these gifts from other teachers many times over the lifetime of my practice. Maybe Anna's teaching power comes from her truly authentic, present, and unguarded approach to all humans. The good the bad the ugly and the loving, all of it. Now that I think about it, her authenticity, especially in this world, is pretty stealth of her!

When I heard Anna was the yoga and workshop instructor for a Sayulita retreat, I signed up. I thought "Sure I'll go do some yoga, get some sun and ocean". Boy did I get so much more than I bargained for, but in a good and healing way. Anna set the tone and held the space for that healing to happen for everyone at the retreat.

Anna has a way of cracking open your heart before you have a chance to back away from the uncomfortable territory we avoid.
