Welcome! We would like to tell you that you are not alone if you are feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from yourself lately. You're here to get in touch with yourself, achieve your full potential, and create sustainable lifestyle rituals that support your mind, body, and spirit.


By attending this 5-Day Yoga & Wellbeing Retreat in beautiful Florida and especially in this nature healing-sustainable space, you will emerge from this experience with a wealth of inspiration and mindful tools to live with more clarity and intention in your life. 


Yely Rivas-Staley, your Mindfulness Teacher, will guide you through daily guided meditations, yoga practices, and three Mindful Selfcare classes that are designed to break the stigma associated with self care. In these classes, you will learn what selfcare is, why it is important, and how to customize your self-care routine. 

  

Dr. Monisha Bhanote, your Wellbeing Teacher, will guide you through three Wellbeing Sessions that are designed to introduce you to the latest science in health and wellness while providing you with rituals and techniques you can apply throughout your daily life on your return home.


In addition, this environment is ideal to nurture close connections with fellow mindful humans who are also embarking on this wellbeing journey, helping you to support and encourage each other, resulting in friendships that will last well after the retreat is over. This experience will help you uncover how you can tap into your infinite wisdom and potential through physical, mindful, and nourishing self-care practices, which you can then easily implement after our time together.

Reviews

This retreat was truly a life-changing experience. Yely and Monisha did a phenomenal job with planning, site selection, and food. I have already made changes that are having wonderful effects in my life, and I know the other participants are, as well (because we have become friends and kept in touch). The ChoZen site was absolutely gorgeous and amazing, and Chef Colin's plant-based meals were out of this world. The retreat was long enough to let attendees get some rest and perspective and begin feeling the positive effects of greater self-care and wellbeing. Highly recommended!

Loved this retreat. Being my first retreat I didn't know what to expect. Yely and Dr. Monisha were great hosts. Chozen is amazing, comfortable and the food was delicious. I loved that we did different styles of yoga in the classes and the meditations were so good. I would recommend anything they put together as an event. Thank you Yely. I will never forget this last week.

I don't even have the appropriate words to share how INCREDIBLE this experience was for me. Yely is one of the most genuine, infectious, alluring and knowledgeable yoga and meditation instructors I have ever come across... and I guarantee you will feel the same. From start to finish, this retreat was extremely well thought out and checked every box that I was looking for. From morning meditation to evening workshops, with rest and playtime in between, I couldn't think of a better way to recharge and deepen the relationship with yourself. Yely could not be a better guide throughout the journey and you truly can't beat Bodhi Tree and the beautiful Nosara jungle. You are in for a life-changing treat! :)

This trip was so incredible and I cannot recall the last time I felt so relaxed in my life. I am definitely doing it again. Yely Staley is a gift as a teacher, she brought me healing and grace I wish I could bottle up. Bodhi Tree Resort was incredibly comfortable, the food was mind blowing, the staff so wonderful. A true home. Pura Vida!
