About the Retreat
Imagine waking up each morning to the sound of the Pacific Ocean, stepping onto your mat as the sun rises over the Mexican jungle, and spending seven days diving deep into your body, your mind and your intellect. This is Devotion in Motion — a one-of-a-kind retreat and the official launch of Vedanta on the Ground, the nonprofit founded by master teachers Rina Jakubowicz and Eric Paskel, dedicated to bringing the timeless wisdom of Vedanta to those on a grounded path of self-discovery.

About the Teachers
Rina Jakubowicz
Rina Jakubowicz is known for her vibrant and uplifting approach for students of all ages, with more than 25 years of teaching yoga in English and Spanish. Her students describe her as genuinely transformational: “I could immediately feel the beauty, light, and warmth that you radiate in your teaching,” wrote one. Another called her teachings a source of ongoing guidance: “Her blend of philosophy and bringing everything back to the Self is what makes her teachings so impactful. I often find myself thinking back to what I learned from her not only when I’m teaching yoga but as I navigate life.”
Eric Paskel
Eric Paskel is known for his rock ‘n’ roll personality in the normally quiet world of yoga — an international yoga teacher, marriage and family counselor, and motivational speaker. His approach goes far beyond asana. Students describe his understanding of life, purpose, and Yoga — with a capital Y — as exceptional, and note that his vast knowledge of yoga philosophy penetrates every direction he gives, topped off with a leadership quality that not many possess. As one student put it, “Not a day goes by that I don’t incorporate what I learned from you into my actions and thoughts. I can make decisions faster, guide my reactions with more control, and see a clearer path.”
Together, Rina and Eric bring something truly rare. As one past retreat participant described it: “It is challenging to put into words how beneficial a retreat is with them — it’s like many times better than an ordinary vacation when you can work on yourself while being supported.”
