About this Retreat
Your Guides
Amanda Trevelino, (C-IAYT, E-RYT500, YACEP) an authentic and adventurous spirit, inspires her clients with self-health experiences. She embraced yoga at age 40 to overcome burnout, exhaustion, and mental health challenges, finding solace in its philosophy and breath techniques. She trained extensively, including with Yoganand Michael Carroll at Kripalu, Pranakriya in Atlanta, and on a pilgrimage in India. Her teachings include Yin yoga and yoga therapy influenced by Josh Summers and Don Stapelton, PhD. Amanda founded Santosha Studio in 2016, where she emphasizes internal awareness and prioritizes the subtle body, reflecting her belief in the transformative power of thought and change.
Amanda leads yogic retreats and conscious travel experiences in the US, Costa Rica, Nepal and Greece. Her curated retreats emphasize a supportive group dynamic and personal introspection. Experiences on and off the mat are based on the yogic principles of sthira and sukha; noticing when there’s too much effort or tension, and inviting more ease.
Details of this retreat
This is your invitation to enter the chrysalis.
Release and revitalize with Amanda Trevelino and Radha Rose March 7-14, 2026 during a conscious travel experience observing the miracle of the Monarch migration in Michoacán, Mexico. The mountains of Michoacán are the primary site for witnessing Monarch butterflies; millions stop during their migration to rest here and to create their next generation, protected by a 13,000-hectare UNESCO biosphere reserve. This place of pause is part of the butterflies’ annual, and incredible, eight month journey that takes them across North America to Canada and back. During that time four generations are born and die, and how they find their way back to their overwintering site remains a mystery. Like the butterflies, you too will be witnessed and supported as you follow your inner guidance to create the changes you seek inwardly, and in your own ecosystem. Read More
