ABOUT US
We believe that yoga has the power to transform. Our yoga practice has the ability to illuminate our habits, patterns, preferences and avoidance's, and through grace and compassion, find a sense of acceptance for all of the beautiful idiosyncrasies that make us such incredible humans. With that acceptance, comes peace. This work is our passion and we are so excited to share that passion with you. This retreat is an opportunity to relax and nurture ourselves, but to also dive deep below the surface to jump-start that road towards wholeness--holistic well-being; mind, body and soul.

"I have been practicing yoga since 2009, and teaching since 2011. My yoga journey has allowed me to teach all over the continent, from the magical red sands of Prince Edward Island, to the bustling metropolises of Montreal, Los Angeles and New York City. In all of those years and travels on my mat, though the road has changed dramatically, the lessons seem to remain the same: stay humble, stay curious and find joy. I believe that yoga is a conversation between our mind and our bodies, and through movement and breath we can start to become more active listeners within that conversation. Holding space for others to explore that relationship to themselves, and to provide a forum in which they might gain more awareness and understanding is one of my greatest joys. That, and sharing sweet snuggles with my husband and two boys."
Chelsey Rae, started a daily yoga practice at Modo Yoga in Portland, Oregon on March 28th, 2016. With her background as a dancer, she quickly found yoga to be more interesting and fun than a traditional gym workout. As time passed and her dedication to the practice deepened, it became clear that she wasn't only there for the physical benefits. “Through movement, breathwork, meditation, self-reflection, sweat, and a shit-load of tears, I started to see the world and myself in a more positive light. After a year of consistent practice, I realized I wanted to be a conduit for this life-changing practice, and I started my teacher training!” After almost 10 years of practicing/guiding yoga, over 900 hours of trainings, and the honor of guiding classes in North, South, Central America, and Canada! Sharing the practice of yoga is her calling in life. “I have seen how a regular yoga practice can amplify the body, mind, and spirit, not only in myself but in many others. It's an absolute honor to be a yoga instructor, and I cannot wait to practice with you in gorgeous Greece!”
