Retreat Leaders: Kali Basman and Kylie Roswell

Join internationally acclaimed yoga instructors Kali Basman and Kylie Roswell for a Yin & Restorative Yoga Teacher Training to focus on hands-on, anatomical, structural, and energetic based practices for restoration of the body mind. Blending Buddhist Concepts with the Eight Limbs of Yoga, the nourishing waters and sacred landscape of SunWellness in Manitou Springs, Colorado will serve as our home for the week. A specific focus on Pratyahara – the Great Withdrawal – will be encouraged by drawing the boundaries around retreat life to train in the principles of stillness, spaciousness, and quietude. Disconnecting from normative social contexts and devices is recommended during our time together to allow the nervous system to enter the deep folds of rich restoration. We will touch on the realms of resetting the nervous system, healing from past traumas, dissolving tensions, increasing musculoskeletal resiliency, strengthening joint stability, and cultivating elasticity in the body mind. We use embodied and informed anatomy and alignment, scientific bases for sequencing, and psychological self inquiry grounded in Buddhist practices. Our work together as Sangha, spiritual community, will be within the domain of Yin Yoga and will contribute to your continuing education as a Yoga practitioner, inquisitor, and/or facilitator.

Retreat Leader: Erin Berry

There is an “IT” factor unlike any other that has nothing to do with your outer beauty… and everything to do with being lit up from within. Reconnecting with your inner radiance exhilarates all aspects of your life, including your relationship with yourself and others.

You’re invited to fall deeply back in love with you and radically expand your inner light. For 4 days and 3 nights, you’ll immerse yourself in movement, meditation and soul-connection activities. You’ll have permission to BE Present – and Radically Radiant – in a remarkable place that allows you the freedom and space to deeply come home to you.

This retreat helps you reconnect with you and remember who you are at your most “soul-ular” level so you can shine your light of divine inner truth. When you are lit up, life just flows, and your inner glow is a magnet for beautiful, authentic relationships – inside and out.

It’s time to re-awaken the magical “IT” factor within you!

Along the way, you will learn techniques and tools of the Awakened Heart Warrior, and we will clear out trauma, wounds and patterns that are ready to be released. And you will learn how to be of the highest service through embodying unconditional love and truth with ease. On the final day, we’ll have a Closing Ceremony before our last meal in the restaurant – a beautiful brunch. And at 11am on Friday October 4, it’s last photos, hugs and goodbye! During the day there will be downtime for you to chill by the pool, head down to Haramara’s private beach, get a massage or simply sit and enjoy views of the native and untouched tropical vegetation that surrounds the retreat centre.
