About this trip

Have you always wanted to try yoga, but aren't sure where to start, or tried a yoga class but it moved too fast for you? 


In this class, taught by the Lighting the Path Yoga Teacher Trainees,  we will explore some of the basic postures, breathing and meditation techniques that make up the practice of Hatha yoga. Students will leave with a basic understanding of proper alignment and technique, sun salutations and the “vinyasa”, and will be prepared for most beginner and all level classes. 


Yoga is appropriate for just about anyone. You don't need to be flexible or be able to quiet the mind. You simply need the desire to show up and do your best. Whether you are brand new to yoga or you’ve been practicing for some time, this workshop will provide plenty of opportunities to grow, learn and have some fun!

This is a class being offered by the Lighting the Path Yoga Teacher Trainees and will be taught be the trainees and observed and supported by Pete Guinosso.

This is a donation based class. We are raining money for the non-profit - Yoga Gives Back.
Yoga Gives Back is a non-profit supporting the people of India.

In 2023, while many of us are blessed to have yoga practice that sustains us at this difficult time, our fund-recipient women and children in India are struggling for their lives. 


Now more than ever, we are called to take action.

Worldwide, an estimated 300 million practicing yogis drive an 80-billion dollar industry. If a fraction of this can be redirected to empower the underserved women and children in India, we can effect a real change, especially at this challenging time.

What’s included

  • Yoga
  • Lots of Assists :)
  • Yoga Mat
  • Other Yoga Props
  • Fun

More About Yoga Gives Back
There are many charity organizations within the yoga community, but there is none other that focused on giving back to India, especially to support the serious challenges of poverty and related social issues. It’s clear that the economic imbalance is lopsided, that impoverished mothers will never even have a chance to relax with yoga practice in India; while so many of us, an estimated 300 million practitioners today, enjoy this practice mainly for self-care, generating an estimated 80 billion dollars.


Now, our goal is to reach to #OneMillionYogis so we can create much bigger impact, empowering lives.

Pete Guinosso (E-RYT 500) helps students connect with their hearts. His gentle guidance and intuitive assists allow students of all levels to step out of their comfort zones and find their own authentic path in the practice. Pete’s classes offer strong, vigorous sequencing grounded in the breath and intention, and always leaves room for playfulness and fun.

My husband and I had the pleasure of experiencing Pete’s yoga retreat for the second year in a row and absolutely loved it. Pete is a master of creating an inclusive community where everyone can feel at ease and welcomed. The yoga practice was fantastic as always but more importantly the time and space created for self inquiry and reflection was just what we needed to show gratitude for the year that has passed and embrace the year ahead. Thank you Pete for the gift you have provided us.

This was an amazing retreat! Pete is an incredible teacher. He bring with him a wealth of knowledge and expertise along with a big heart and a great sense of humor. It was a nice blend of yoga, meditation, and other soul-centered activities. The people on the retreat were all friendly and welcoming. The Land of The Medicine Buddha is very nice. I especially enjoyed the short hike that Pete took us on. The food was AMAZING. And the staff was very friendly too.

Not only did I get the juiciest physical yoga practice but I found meaniful connection and inspiration here. Pete was incredibly knowledgeable and helped me get into poses I haven't been able to yet in the 8 years of practicing yoga. He explained poses in a way that make them easier and less risk of injury for me. The meals were delicious and the rooms were warm and cozy. The people at The Land of the Medicine Buddha were incredibly generous and kind and my new friends that joined me on the retreat were special, unique and real. I left feeling uplifted and strong. It's people like Pete that make me fall deeper in love with the yoga community. This retreat was an absolute treat!

This was an amazing trip!! Pete is an incredible organizer and yoga teacher (we had two yoga sessions per day). He had a super great set up for the main camp area with lots of shades to eat under, chairs and even hammocks! His chef and assistant chef cooked such yummy food, kept water and tea going and cleaned everything. We had a wonderful massage therapist (I had two very relaxing massages). The meditation teacher/guide was top notch. The camp assistants/helpers made everything so welcoming and easy. The activities Pete planned (hikes, hot pools, etc) were super fun. The location was beautiful, peaceful and grounding. I found myself loving yoga on the sand (I did not anticipate this!). All in all a 5 star experience!
