Frequencies Aligned Vraaja Yoga Costa Rica Retreat

“What will your students get from coming on your retreat – Align with the perfect frequency of nature.”

Everything is frequency. The frequencies of our body are affected by everything around us. During this retreat we will focus on aligning with the perfect frequency of nature and nurturing our bodies and souls through our yoga practice, exploring nature, our time together and the time we take for ourselves. Returning home feeling renewed and energized ready to share our frequency with the rest of the world.

About Your Yoga Instructor(s):

Tommy and Lori Anderson

Tommy and Lori Anderson, have been studying and practicing yoga together for over 25 years. They have been sharing their love and knowledge of yoga as teachers for over 20 years. They own a yoga studio respectfully known as The Yoga Shack in a small town minutes from the beach on the beautiful California Central Coast. Tommy’s extensive study of anatomy and the fascial matrix system led him to write five books and created the path for Vraaja Yoga™, a system of sequencing in which micro movements and breath are used to assist a macro movement or peak pose. Lori’s desire to help people find freedom and strength within themselves at any level has led her to study the energetic aspects of yoga, including earning an advanced certification in the ancient healing art of Thai Yoga Therapy.
