"Glow with the Slow" A Somatic Movement Retreat with Marcie Costello

Escape the frenetic pace of daily life and immerse yourself in a sanctuary of tranquility and self-discovery at the Yandara Retreat Center in Todos Santos, Mexico. Join Marcie Costello for a 6-night all inclusive retreat designed to cultivate mindfulness, awareness, and holistic well-being through the transformative practice of Somatic Movement. Somatic Movement can help individuals to improve their overall physical and emotional well-being by retraining the nervous system to move in more efficient and balanced ways.

Located along the stunning Baja coast, Yandara Retreat Center offers a serene backdrop for your journey. Nestled amidst 7 acres of pristine desert landscape, you'll find yourself enveloped by the soothing sounds of the ocean and the vast expanse of the desert. Indulge in the luxury "glamping" accommodations, complete with a saltwater pool, a picturesque beach, and a spacious yoga pavilion offering panoramic views of the ocean and mountains. Yandara's in- house chefs prepare 3 daily meals, made with fresh local and organic produce to nourish the body. Wholesome and delicious food is an integral part of the retreat experience. 

Throughout the retreat, Marcie will guide you through a series of immersive workshops and experiences, including Somatic Movement, Yin Yoga, and Meditation. You'll also have the opportunity to participate in QiGong sessions and a rejuvenating Sound Bath led by the expert staff at Yandara. These practices are designed to retrain your nervous system, promote physical and emotional balance, and uncover deep-seated patterns of stress and trauma within the body and mind.

In this nurturing environment, you will foster meaningful connections with fellow participants by engaging in heartfelt conversations and shared experiences that deepen your understanding of human connection and unity.

In addition to the transformative workshops, you'll have the chance to forge meaningful connections with like-minded individuals through heartfelt conversations and shared experiences. Whether you're lounging by the pool, exploring the charming town of Todos Santos, or embarking on optional excursions to secret beaches and natural wonders, you'll find ample opportunities for relaxation, reflection, and personal growth.

Join me for the "Glow with the Slow" retreat and embark on a journey of profound transformation. Leave behind the distractions of daily life and reconnect with your essence as you bask in the beauty of self-discovery and inner peace. Embrace the slow pace of life and let your light shine brightly.
