THE JOURNEY HOME

YOUR PRACTICE IS CALLING YOU DEEPER
An Intensive Yoga Immersion Retreat
San Miguel de Allende, Mexico
October 1 – November 28, 2026
Yoga Alliance 200-Hour Certification
ONLY 4 SPOTS REMAIN
There are moments when we simply know it is time to go deeper.
Not because something is missing, but because something within us is calling to be explored.
This October, join us in beautiful San Miguel de Allende for an immersive journey into the many dimensions of yoga.
This is more than a Yoga Alliance certification.
It is an invitation to step away from everyday life and immerse yourself in asana, pranayama, meditation, anatomy, biomechanics, philosophy and the lived experience of yoga.
TWO TEACHERS.
TWO LIFELONG PATHS.
ONE SHARED PASSION FOR YOGA.
MELINDA MARINO — E-RYT500
The Architect
With 35 years on the path of yoga, Melinda brings together her experience as a practitioner, teacher and architect.
Her journey through Aikido, injury and rehabilitation led her to discover yoga not only as a physical practice, but as a path of healing, awareness and self-realization.
She invites students to see the body as a living architecture—understanding not only how we move, but why.
BEa! RAYDO — E-RYT500
The Elixir
With 45 years immersed in yoga, philosophy, anatomy and physiology, BE brings a deep understanding of the connection between ancient wisdom and the human body.
Together, we explore where:
Philosophy becomes experience.
Anatomy becomes awareness.
Breath becomes a bridge.
Practice becomes a way of knowing ourselves.
DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS IN SAN MIGUEL
Our immersion takes place during one of Mexico's most meaningful celebrations.
During Día de los Muertos, San Miguel fills with marigolds, candles, music, color, remembrance and celebration.
It is a beautiful time to reflect on impermanence, gratitude, love and transformation—and on one of yoga's deepest invitations:
How do we choose to live this life fully?
THIS JOURNEY IS FOR YOU IF YOU...
Feel called to deepen your practice.
Want to understand the body from the inside out.
Are curious about the deeper wisdom of yoga.
Want to explore meditation and pranayama.
Feel called to teach—or simply want to understand yoga more completely.
And most importantly,
are ready to become a student again.
DEEPEN YOUR PRACTICE.
DISCOVER YOUR VOICE.
SHARE WHAT YOU DISCOVER.

If something in you is responding as you read this, listen.
Perhaps this is the time.
Perhaps this is the place.
Perhaps this is the next chapter of your journey.
Begin with a conversation.
