"In classical yoga, the practices of sensory withdrawal (pratyahara) are emphasized to enable the awareness to move from the external environment to deal with the inner workings of the mind and ultimately to lead one into a state of meditation. However, before we worry too much about sensory withdrawal, first we need to learn how to use the senses with discrimination. Then we will be able to experience the senses in a nurturing, supportive way that frees us to make choices that bring better health and a lasting enjoyment of life. The senses can become your master, or they can be a useful tool to nourish your soul. During this retreat you will fine-tune your senses to bring quality control to your mind!"

"When we interact with the world, our sensory perceptions deeply affect us. In the same way we are affected by the food we eat, we are also affected by the “food” we perceive through the other 4 senses. So Ayurvedic medicine came up with this extraordinary therapy, called 5-sens therapy and that’s what we’ll discover during this retreat. You’ll learn techniques to deeply nourish physical health and mental and emotional well-being in a way that is going to be fun, interactive and artistic. You will come away with the knowledge as well as tools that you will create to continue to nourish yourself once you get home. I can’t wait to see you at this retreat in beautiful Costa Rica!"

SWAMI ATMARUPA
Swami Atmarupa has been a yoga teacher since 1995 and practitioner since 1980. As an acharya of yoga, a master teacher, her mission is to help people understand that yoga is more than a twisty pose.
Yoga is the original integrative, holistic healthcare and it holds the key to better living.
Atma owned and operated a yoga center in Cleveland Heights, Ohio for 23 years and has trained yoga teachers for over 20 years.
She continues to reside in Ohio with her rescued dog, Chandi, whom she walks daily to maintain her ritual of self-care that includes an Ayurvedic diet.
Over the last three years, Atma has lost over 130 pounds through consistency and mindfulness and has maintained that weight loss for over a year now.
Though Atma is now semi-retired, she continues to act as a 1:1 Yoga Guide for those who desire to deepen their practice off the mat and fully integrate it into their lives.
LAURE CARTER
Laure Carter is a Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist, Meditation Teacher and Plant Based Chef. She's the founder and CEO of Laure Carter Ayurveda, which offers health programs to help busy women take back control of their health and live their best life.
Applying Ayurveda's pro-health not anti-disease approach, Laure teaches women how to embrace what makes them unique - physically, emotionally and spiritually - to create an optimal wellness lifestyle that is effective, personalized and easy to maintain.
Laure’s ability to interpret ancient wisdom through a modern lens - turning the “mystical" into the “practical” sets her apart.
Bi-racial and raised in a multicultural experience, the core of her practice is colored by a deep appreciation for cultural differences and an awareness of individual perspectives.
When she’s not working with clients, Laure enjoys cooking delicious meals and finger-licking desserts.
