the yoga
First and foremost a student, Sasha gratefully credits her ongoing reception and transmission of endless anatomical and philosophical yogic wisdom from brilliant teachers like Nikki Costello (Iyengar), Genny Kapuler (Iyengar), Anya Porter (therapeutics and strength building), and Schuyler Grant’s thoughtful and creative Kula Yoga Project methods.
Daily retreat group classes are in the style of vinyasa flow – inspired by the precision of her Iyengar studies – incorporating a clear attention to breath, alignment, and considerate execution in support of physical and mental longevity.
Workshops offer more time to explore and expand the understanding of postures, modifications, and transitions to suit unique needs.
She applies yogic principles of sthira (effort) / sukha (ease) through sequences that challenge strength and concentration, while encouraging playfulness and appreciation for showing up exactly as you are.
A lifelong dancer, mindful fluidity and exploration are woven into each session in ways that support mind-body wellbeing.
Sasha’s guided meditations are also influenced by her teachers – namely Insight Meditation with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach – which offer a fresh and relatable perspective from her personal experience.
the food
As a certified holistic health coach, an advocate for all sustainable lifestyle practices, an ongoing self-student of Ayurveda, a curious investigator of gentle biohacking, and a lover of the European / French / less-stressful approach to food – you can expect meals to be consciously curated to both fuel your furnace and invoke great joy.
Any allergies, sensitivities, and requests will always be taken into account and never judged.
The approach is health-conscious without being a restrictive detox. Alcohol is not prohibited [it is a vacation, after all], although it is encouraged to be consumed mindfully and in moderation for the safety and comfort of everyone on retreat.
