Meet Guest Instructor, Brittany Carter!

 

I  want to introduce you to Brittany Carter, our retreat co-teacher! 

Brittany has a lifelong background in dance. Her awakening started the year she finished college when she accepted that her path would be different than she thought.  However, it truly began with her four-month voyage through Southeast Asia, studying Buddhism, Hinduism, yoga, and meditation.   Her dancer spirit and discipline of Ashtanga allow her to play with the balance between structure and creative flows. She is an intuitive teacher that is able to adapt to the needs of the students and surrender her idea of how things 'should' go so that the highest good can be met.

Beautiful environment, great instructors, good healthy food. I truly had a great experience.
By Roberta T for OCEANSIDE PARADISE . .Rest, Restore and Explore on Feb 21, 2023
This retreat was everything I could ever have hoped for and exceeded my expectations. Marla's retreat are always top notch but this one was really special. She created an atmosphere of kindness and compassion that was woven into her classes. Marla has a special way of weaving yoga into functional movement that moves beyond traditional Asana The retreat venue was perfect and the food was superb. The 22 women who attended from Canada and the US were so supportive and generous friendship. Truly a retreat I will never forget. Thank you Marla.
