About Your Hosts

Chloë Craver has practiced and studied and taught yoga for over 10 years, with over 1000 training hours in a variety of styles and lineages, as well a Masters of Science in Herbal Medicine. She uses the art of guiding group yoga classes in conjunction with her intuitive channeling to deliver powerful messages of love, grace, abundance and acceptance. She believes we all land where we are meant to be at the right time, there are no coincidences or accidents - but rather it is all by cosmic design. Chloë opened a yoga studio, Lotus Yoga, early on in her career in order to help nurture a space of connection and growth and continues to breathe the breath of the cosmos into the community that calls Lotus home.


Neil Craver came to one of Chloë's power yoga classes back in 2015 on one of their first dates and from that moment, was delighted and surprised every single time he came to the mat. It was love at first sight, both in relationship and in yoga! Neil learned how to teach power vinyasa and Ashtanga yoga from Chloë's RYS and has since explored studies with the late Guru Jagat and Yogi Bhajan. His calling is Kundalini Yoga and facilitating breath-work and meditation that allows radical spiritual awakening. He is a pillar of the Lotus Yoga community alongside Chloë as they continue dreaming up and delivering classes and events that inspire curiosity and growth.


Carson Richardson is a force, driven by love and nature. She and Chloë are cousins and best friends and have dreamed of co-creating this heart led journey since their first global trip 20 years ago. Carson has been practicing yoga for 10 years, received her 200 hour certification in 2015 and then again with Chloë and Neil in 2020 through studies with Lotus Yoga! She has taught vinyasa yoga, yin yoga, meditation, restorative and hatha yoga in a variety of studios over the years. Carson has also experienced first hand the magical elements of retreating as a seasoned participant of Lotus Yoga led retreats, and is honored to guide us through the healing voyage that travel & intentional action uncover.

This trip was extra special! There was so much held space for movement, personal expression, quiet moments, and energy exchange that honestly couldn’t have been any more meaningful. The retreat center with Chloe, Neil, and Carson created a refreshing atmosphere to just be nourished physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
By Amanda C for Soul Alchemy on Dec 04, 2024
This was such a fantastic trip! Chloe, Neil and Carson found just the right balance between our daily yoga practice and other ceremonies, waterfalls, workshops, breath-work and ice baths. The flow of the days were both restful and invigorating. It’s always a bit intimidating to go on a retreat by yourself, but I’m so glad that I did! There was such a beautiful sense of cohesion within our group. Everyone enjoyed our leisurely community meals. The food was delicious, abundant and beautiful! The staff and accommodations at Imiloa were top notch. There was such care and attention to every detail. I would highly recommend!

I knew this trip would be right for me - however, it was way more than I could ever imagine. Being high on the mountain in the Costa Rica jungle is magical. Chloe, Neil and Carson led me through a week of yoga, sound baths, rain, sunshine, food and extended my yoga family. A week that will continue to contribute in many ways to my life journey.
By Charlene W for Soul Alchemy on Dec 03, 2024
This retreat was one of the best weeks I’ve had in a long time. Chloe and Neil did an amazing job crafting a welcoming and freeing experience through the various classes, the atmosphere, and the community. I was pleasantly surprised by how close I grew to myself as well as all the people that attended the trip. Can’t wait till next year!

In the first few months of 2024 I listened to my intuition and followed my heart by signing up for a yoga retreat with Lotus Yoga Academy. I knew I would be traveling alone and was a little nervous, but it was hands down the best thing I’ve ever done. I never felt alone. I was surrounded by Love, friendship, community and unity. I experienced true magic!!! The host (Chloe, Neil and Carson) were so knowledgeable and in tuned to everyone. The jungle wrapped her arms around me and took me on a journey like none other. Releasing, receiving, healing, vibing, nourishing, empowering, are just a few of the adjectives I experienced while on this amazing trip hosted by these guys. Thank you for allowing me to take this journey with you, it was such an honor to be in your presence’s and create a community of love and friendship I will never forget. Lori Lawrence
