Dr. Katina & Michelle's Wellness Week

March 22 - March 29, 2025

Co-Presented with Dr. Katina Manning DC

Playa el Coco, Nicaragua

Learn to listen to the language of the body. Sensation, breath, and movement. In our modern world, there is a myth that the mind is separate from the body. Attune to all of the layers of your being: physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual. There is another myth that we are separate from one another, and this creates profound loneliness. Experience a deep sense of community and belonging and leave with skills and inspiration to bring back into your life at home.

Awaken to organic fresh juices and locally sourced coffee then head to the ocean front yoga platform for yoga with panoramic views of the Pacific. In the afternoons take part in our amazing investigations into the spine and it’s supporting tissues. In the evenings relax or enjoy our Thai Massage, Fascial Release, or Chiropractic workshops. All levels of Orthopedic Yoga Therapy classes, specifically designed to create ease in the spine are included as well as all workshops and trainings and 3 meals plus morning coffee and fresh juices per day. You will come away from this amazing week, feeling renewed, refreshed and empowered with the knowledge to continuing your healing journey!

This week counts for 25 Hours towards Orthopedic Yoga Therapy Certification for Yoga Teachers enrolled in the program if all workshops, classes and pieces of training are attended.
