Real Life. Real Tools.

Hawaii Retreat - Palm Trees
Come discover a new path that will nourish your Body, Mind, and Spirit.

 

As women, how do we create the time to really understand what is nourishing to us on a regular basis? How do we stay committed to our true self? To that part of us, that is authentic in nature… yearning to step forward and be the light that shines? These 3 disciplines, Yoga, Ayurveda and the Alexander Technique help us to reshape our true self, our true beauty from the inside, out. They teach us to go inward and learn the art of self-care, self-awareness, and self-transformation. When this happens, life just gets easier!

It doesn’t matter what age you are, we are constantly working to create more balance in our busy and sometimes overwhelming schedules. Women have a unique place in the world, thus we need to take a unique path that allows us to connect to our True Spirit and its divine nature. This reconnection allows for our most authentic self to unfold and our highest potential to be met.

This retreat will guide you along this path so you can stop acting from a place of uncertainty and learn to honor your authentic self. Only you can be the author of your own life story. Come and start a new chapter!

Join us in beautiful Ojai and experience the magic that this amazing valley holds, the serenity of the Pepper Tree Retreat and how these profound disciplines of Ayurveda, Yoga and the Alexander Technique can transform your life.This 5-day retreat is specially designed to teach you the art of unlearning—letting go of old patterns that have long since lost their usefulness—while also providing precious leisure time which allows these new skills and understandings to become more rooted in your daily life.

We teach Yoga, Ayurveda, and the Alexander Technique in a practical and meaningful way so that when you return home you will have useful tools to keep this new, balanced relationship going—not only within yourself but with everyone around you.

Life just gets easier!

Carol is a leading expert in the Mind/Body field for over 30 years. She believes that given the right tools, you can heal and transform your own life. Having overcome chronic back pain, depression, and major digestive issues, she knows how powerful these three disciplines can affect your life in a positive way. Carol has also dealt with divorce, raising her two daughters as a single mom, the death of her parents, menopause and how age changes one’s perspective on life. She is passionate about helping women find their inner voice, and create a path to health, grace and living a life of optimal health and joy.

Carol is a Clinical Ayurvedic Specialist and Pancha Karma Specialist (Ayurveda Body Therapies) and a graduate of the California College of Ayurveda, where she is currently a faculty member.

Amanda Green

Amanda is a yoga teacher who knows firsthand that when we practice and study yoga, the things we do in our everyday life have the potential to be profoundly spiritual. She teaches from personal experience because yoga is the foundation of so many positive shifts in her life.
Amanda leads both small group classes and individuals with clear language, deep listening, and a sense of humor while holding space for each person to have their own experience. Amanda helps the ancient Yogic teachings come to life in ways that are relevant and meaningful for the modern day. She candidly relates yogic concepts to her experiences as a mom, partner, teacher, artist, blogger and encourages her students to do the same. In this way, yoga practice becomes a deeply personal journey and a means to live a fulfilling and purposeful life.
Amanda took her first yoga class in 2001 and has been practicing ever since. After moving from Seattle to Austin in 2010, she enrolled in a Hatha Yoga teacher-training program and soon after completion, she began teaching yoga full-time. Amanda met her teacher and mentor, Chase Bossart, in 2011 and her yoga practice took a turn for a more gentle and therapeutic approach and her yoga study expanded to embrace the broader teachings of yoga.
She has specialized training in yoga as therapy and continues her studies with the exceptional faculty and peers of the YATNA yoga therapy training program. Amanda lives in Austin, TX with her two daughters, husband, and extended family. She paints, dances, and writes about her life and yoga adventures in her weekly blog posts.
