Sobre el retiro
Your joy is your sorrow unmasked…
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy.
When you are sorrowful, look
again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight…
Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy.
Only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced.
-Kahlil Gibran
About the Retreat:
As we reel from the dizzying effects of a global pandemic, the confrontation of generations of racial injustice, the degradation of our earth, and the personal traumas we have all undergone, I am left curious about the joy that persists among us as individuals and as a community. I have been pondering the interrelation between our joy and our grief. And this is hard work, folks.
Which is why, it is with overflowing JOY that I invite you to join me for a nourishing week of yoga, sunshine, and rest at the beautiful Mar de Jade on the Riviera Nayarit.
This retreat is about taking the time to nourish YOU, because this is how we are able to show up fully for the people and causes we love. I will offer yoga classes every morning, but the majority of the day will be open for you to do you. Opportunities abound for adventure, healing, and rest.
I offer tiered pricing in order to accommodate different budges and room preferences.

Sobre los maestros
Emily Alderaen
Emily attended her first yoga class at the age of six and spent some formative years living in ashrams in India and Portland. She attended a yoga teacher training in Brazil and received her 200-hour Yoga Alliance Certificate from Find Balance Yoga in March 2011. Since then she has been teaching in Oregon.She resides in Corbett, where she homesteads and raises two children, while pursuing her Master’s in Counseling. She continues to learn from a variety of teachers and find inspiration from the yogic path.
Emily teaches alignment-based Vinyasa classes with an elemental flavor. Vinyasa is defined as “breath-synchronized movement,” which can mean flowing dynamically between postures; however, her classes have a strong alignment component, so there is a lot of emphasis placed on pausing to fine-tune postures to best serve individual bodies. Emily’s classes are an invitation into embodied presence. She draws influence from the energetic elements of her surroundings, and she incorporates this awareness into movement practice. All bodies and levels of experience welcome!
