After these couple discussions, we will reconvene for a short group conversation. While we encourage sharing thoughts and experiences, there is absolutely no pressure or expectation to do so. This retreat is about creating a comfortable and supportive environment where everyone can participate in the way that feels right for them.

Yoga + Couples Enrichment Retreat
Playa Viva Luxury Beachfront Resort
October 7th-October 12th, 2023
Yoga + Relationship Enrichment Retreat for Couples with Sarah Moslemi and Dr. Darrell Christian
All levels of yoga abilities welcome.
Are you looking to inject some new life into your relationship and/or strengthen your bond with your partner? Has the stresses of everyday life, work, kids, or just the passage of time created something missing or the lack of growth in your relationship. We invite you to join us for a transformative week of yoga and couples enrichment at an eco-luxury beachfront retreat in Mexico. This retreat offers a unique opportunity for both personal growth and deepening your connection with your significant other. With a perfect blend of yoga, couples enrichment experiences, personal time, and community, you will leave feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and more connected than ever before.
Description:
It is often said that couples need to “grow together” but has anyone ever told you how to do that? This is a rare opportunity to combine the benefits of yoga and couples enrichment to enhance your own self-awareness/growth and deepen the relationship you have with your partner. Both yoga and couple enrichment are combined to form a pathway for growing together.
A yoga practice can enhance self-awareness and mindfulness, cultivate a deeper connection between mind and body, improve both physical and emotional flexibility, and provide a path through breathing and self-acceptance to manage emotions and provide an overall sense of well-being. Similar to yoga, couples enrichment is an experience of movement and flexibility of perceptions and patterns. It focuses on accepting where a couple is in their relationship while also encouraging them to stretch themselves and their relationship, to access emotion in order to develop a deeper emotional connection, improve communication, and strengthen their bond. The mind-body-spirit connection in yoga can become a pathway to linking the mind, body, and spirit for the couple in couples enrichment. This approach aims to build a more fulfilling and satisfying partnership, creating a positive and rewarding relationship for both individuals involved.
