Colombia is loud in the best way.

Color everywhere. Music bleeding out of windows. Breeze hits your skin before you even realize you need to slow down. People talking with their hands, laughing from deep in their belly, making you feel at home before you even unpack your bag. The ocean always close. The mountains watching everything quietly in the background.

This retreat is built as a life break. A Caribbean reset. A salty little adventure away from the constant noise, routine, emails, traffic, pressure, and all the weird modern human shit lol. A chance to pause long enough to reconnect to yourself while also dropping deeper into your practice.

We begin January 20–22 in Barranquilla, the home of Shakira and Sofía Vergara, before heading toward the coast near Santa Marta to stay at Gitana del Mar from January 23–27. Between the Caribbean Ocean and the Sierra Nevada mountains, this land has a way of softening people while also making them feel more alive.

This week is rooted in practice, but not in a rigid “wellness culture” kinda way. We’ll move hard, breathe deep, laugh a lot, and spend time remembering what it feels like to be human outside of constant pressure and noise.

Daily offerings include Ashtanga, Mysore, and Rocket led by Caro alongside Integrated Strength Practice with Kolton. The idea isn’t perfection. It’s sustainability. Strength that actually supports your body and nervous system. A practice that helps you feel more capable in your real life, not just on a yoga mat. And a chance to find joy and laughter in your practice.

We’ll gather twice daily for meditation in a special beachside palapa with the sound of waves and breeze becoming the soundtrack to the week. No fake spa music needed lol. Just nature doing its thing. There is nothing more rhythmic than the sound of the ocean.

Expect ocean swims, saltwater pool hangs, sunsets that feel unreal, long conversations, sweaty practices, meaningful rest, and moments where you completely forget to check your phone because you’re actually there.

This trip is for people who want depth without needing everything to feel overly serious. For people who want discipline and play. Structure and freedom. Sweat and rest. Community and alone time.

Come practice with us in Colombia.

Come meet the coast that helped raise me.

Come remember how good life can feel when you slow down enough to actually live it.

Come forget your darn phone.

Open to All Levels — Come As You Are

This retreat is for everybody. Whether you’re brand new to yoga, deep in your practice, stiff as hell, strong as hell, healing something, searching for something, or just needing a real break from life.

We’re not here to perform. Not here to become “perfect.” We’re here to practice. To breathe better. To feel our bodies again. To meditate hard. To laugh loud. To get salty from the ocean and sweaty from practice. To reconnect to ourselves and each other outside the weird speed of modern life.

Your days will be intentional but spacious. Structured but still human.

Daily offerings include:

• Daily Ashtanga, Mysore-style practice, and Rocket with Caro
• Daily Integrated Strength Practice with Kolton focused on strength, stability, endurance, mobility, and real-world body awareness
• Twice daily meditation in a special beachside palapa
• Daily pranayama and breathwork practices
• Three nourishing locally-sourced meals each day
• Ocean swims, saltwater pool hangs, naps, journaling, sunlight, and deep rest
• Time between Barranquilla and the Caribbean coast near Santa Marta
• Long conversations, community, and moments where you completely forget to check your phone because you’re actually there

This retreat is about returning to rhythm.
Your breathing rhythm.
Your practice rhythm.
Your human rhythm.

Come as you are bb.
We’ll meet you there.

The Kogi are one of the oldest and most traditional surviving indigenous tribes of

South America. They consider themselves the elder brothers, they maintain the role

of wisdom keepers and guardians of the earth. They hold the responsability to care

of wisdom keepers and guardians of the earth. They hold the responsibility to care

Some Kogis have decided to share part of their wisdom with us. So, they

occasionally come down from their sacred villages high in the Sierra Nevada

mountains to offer ceremonies to help us understand the balance of nature and

the need to honor, respect and protect our natural world.The ceremony is led by a Kogi Mamo (Shaman), and consist in a cleansing of our energy, body, mind & soul as well as a “pagamento” (payment to the land) in which we transfer our intangible thoughts into shells as a payment to receive the blessing of the great mother.

The Mamo shares with us that these acts and mentality of taking without paying

back into the earth creates unbalance so We will reach to tune in to the harmony of

nature and offer our gratitude for all much that Mother Earth give us.

Hi, Friends. I’m Kolton. I’ve been practicing and teaching yoga for over a decade. Yoga has given me many things you might expect—a sense of ease through effort, modest confidence, a stronger mind-body connection, diminished pain from old injuries, and so on. However, it’s the unexpected outcomes from my practice and teaching that truly humble me. We often think of yoga as a practice that affects us individually—self-discovery, self-discipline, self-regulation. But the connections that exist outside of myself are the ones I find most profound. Through yoga, I’ve met the most wonderful people, formed authentic and deep friendships, found the love of my life, and traveled to places that are now very special to me.

I believe there is no right or wrong reason to practice. Whether it’s to quiet the mind or to learn how to do a handstand, any reason is valid. Perhaps the most significant aspect is to show up and devote yourself to a consistent practice, which, in turn, may give you more than you ever thought you needed. Whether we realize it or not, the entirety of our lives is a search for balance. Perhaps our practice reveals what to hold on to and what to let go. It’s up to you. Have a stoic practice, have a playful practice—both may serve you.

I’m an E RYT 200, a certified 26&2 instructor, and a certified Iron Yoga instructor. The majority of the classes I teach are Flow, Sculpt, and Yin.
