Initiate your inner revolution through mindful movement & meditation. Step outside of your comfort zone and into yourself physically and emotionally.

Now is the time! The external world has shifted and changed; now is the time to turn inward and focus on YOU.

We invite you to step outside of your comfort zone and into yourself physically and emotionally.
What does inner revolution look like for you?

Daily physical practices that help establish internal harmony in the body and guided meditation practices for the mind. These methods will allow you to become consciously aware of the inter-woven fabric of your existence, connecting the physical and subtle body while bringing awareness to a place of blissful living.

About Your Yoga Instructor(s):

Andrea Shorey, CAHC, LMT, E-RYT 500

Inner Revolution Yoga Retreat in Costa rica

Andrea has been practicing yoga since 2014, initially to reduce stress and anxiety. She quickly fell in love with the yogic path, completing her advanced teacher training in 2021. Andrea has a holistic whole-body approach to movement and wellness on and off the mat. Andrea has a way of breaking down walls, keeping it real, with grace and compassion. You will usually find Andrea with her French Bulldog at the studio playing in the aerial silks.

Taylor Ring, RYT 500, Reiki Master

Don’t let Taylor’s naturally playful spirit fool you. He is a yoga & movement specialist embodying a yogic lifestyle since 2009. Taylor has spent years studying Ashtanga, Bikram, and Tantric Yoga. Due to the varied lineage that Taylor has experienced, he brings a unique eye to the practices that help him see what might best serve you. Taylor leads teacher training in Maine and Washington State and leads international retreats bi-annually. If you want to find Taylor outside of the shala, it will be in the ocean, on the ski slopes or enjoying time with his partner Darby and their Goldendoodle Nala. He believes that yoga is a tool to help us lead the most vibrant expressions of our lives and is on a never-ending quest to embody that belief.

“As a non-yoga student, I came on this retreat with my partner, I didn’t participate in every yoga session but didn’t feel excluded. The classes were accessible for my experience level. Taylor made learning the basics easy and made me comfortable to incorporate more yoga in the future.”
— Jason
“I can’t say enough good things about the retreat!! I had a once in a lifetime experience with some truly authentic people!! I love the level of instruction I received from Taylor and Andrea. Overall, I can’t stop talking about how Costa Rica feels like it has a 'home' in my heart and how much I loved spending time there.”
— Stacy
“I appreciated how we always did a form of yoga, but it wasn’t super strict, you listened to us and how our bodies were feeling and taught a class that was adequate for us. I really enjoyed this experience! I met a lot of great people of all ages. Allowed myself to be vulnerable and get the most out of my time away.”
— Cristina
