Strength & Surrender Retreat with Mila Burgess

Sunday February 8 - Saturday February 14, 2026

Join us for a soulful gathering of kindred spirits in a community that fosters connection, vitality, and inner peace. In this magical space where the lush jungle meets the sun-kissed shore, our days begin with energizing yang styles of yoga (foundational, ashtanga remix, vinyasas flow) to awaken your body and spirit, and wind down with grounding yin and restorative practices that invite deep rest and reflection. Our approach is holistic and inclusive, honoring both movement and stillness, strength and surrender. Between Daily yoga practices, you'll choose your own adventures to explore the beauty of the Azuero Peninsula, savor nourishing meals, enjoy rejuvenating spa treatments, and create your own perfect self-care experience.

Fully sold out retreat.

MEET YOUR HOST

Mila Burgess Retreat Host

As a former schoolteacher and professor of education, as well as an avid yoga practitioner, teaching yoga is the marrying of two passions for Mila. She has over a decade of experience leading classes, workshops, retreats and teacher trainings. Mila considers herself a lifelong learner and continually looks towards deepening her own knowledge and practice of yoga.

Mila is the founder of Metta Yoga in Atlanta, is a legacy lululemon ambassador and previously served as the yoga editor of Natural Awakenings Atlanta magazine.

She provides a safe space for students to not only meet themselves where they are, as they are, but also to seek deeper connections to their bodies, minds, and breath. She guides her students through mindful movements, incorporating her love of music and providing meaningful messages through themed classes. She teaches a variety of formats including Vinyasa Flow, Power, Yin, Restorative, Gentle, Ashtanga Remix, and Aerial Yoga. Additionally she leads meditation and mindfulness workshops in both studio and corporate settings.

Mila believes that yoga is not something you do; it is a part of who you are, and that a quiet mind, an open heart, and deep breaths serves us beautifully, both on and off the mat.
