About this Retreat
As a Los Angeles native, Heldine has been practicing yoga since 2010 and teaching since 2016. She earned 500 hours of yoga certification with Shivakali Yoga, studying alignment-based vinyasa and elemental tantra. She started taking pole, twerk, and aerial dance classes in January 2017. Heldine sees yoga and dance as meditative ways to deepen awareness about one’s body and thoughts and hopes to give others the tools they need to find deeper self-love.
Calista is a writer, yoga teacher, and adventure-seeker. She’s passionate about inviting others to journey through the beauty of their inner landscape by practicing yoga and self-reflection. Her classes and workshops combine postures, breathwork, dynamic movement, and visualization to support students who long to reconnect with their body and remember their own wisdom.
Calista started teaching yoga in 2002 after receiving her first 200-hour teaching certification from Integrative Yoga Therapy. She continued to study with various teachers and completed teacher training with Embody Tantra in 2016, renewed her 200-hour certification through Shivakali Yoga in 2019 and completed the Shivakali 300-hour Teacher Training in 2022.
