There are places that wake something up in us.
Places that remind us how good it feels to move slowly. To spend our days in the ocean. To gather around a table with beautiful food and kind people. To laugh, to rest, to explore, and to remember what brings us alive.
This is your invitation to one of those places.
We'll gather at Sansara, on oceanfront sanctuary where the jungle meets the Pacific, and spend a week immersed in movement, nature, adventure, and meaningful connection.
Our days begin with Somatic / Hatha yoga overlooking the ocean and unfold with swims in warm Pacific waters, stand-up paddleboarding, optional surf lessons (or surf sessions for those who already ride waves), waterfall adventures, nourishing meals, spacious afternoons, and evenings beneath the stars.
HI, I'm Sarah!
I'm a yoga teacher, retreat leader, mama to my adventurous little sidekick, Nikko, and someone who's happiest with salty hair, sandy feet, and a good cup of coffee in hand.
For nearly 20 years, I've been guiding people back to themselves through somatic yoga, mindful movement, nervous system care, and retreats rooted in nature and genuine connection. My classes are less about perfect poses and more about helping you feel at home in your body again. To soften. To breathe. To remember what makes you feel most alive.
This will be my third time returning to Sansara, and if I'm honest... this place has completely stolen my heart. The wild Pacific, the slower rhythm of life, the incredible people - it gets me every single time. I've watched this place work it's quiet magic. Shoulders drop. Bellies soften. Strangers become lifelong friends. Something wakes up.
When I'm not teaching, you'll usually find me chasing Nikko around the beach, sneaking away for a surf, wandering through a farmers market, or dreaming up our next adventure.
I can't wait to share this beautiful corner of the world with you.
P.S. Fair warning: you might leave with a deeper exhale, a stronger tan, and an irrational desire to rearrange your entire life around ocean swims. It happens.
