This retreat is here for the yogi who is seeking a week-long wellness getaway from the distractions of daily life. To immerse in yoga, meditation, heart-opening practices and the wild nature of coastal Nicaragua.
ABOUT THE TEACHERS:
Avigyle Zeitchik is a bilingual certified yoga facilitator specializing in Vinyasa and Yin, international retreat leader, and meditation instructor whose core mission is to inspire others to show up for themselves through movement-based habits + routines. Known for her signature energetic flows & playlists that inspire you to move, she embodies the belief that each student is their own best teacher, blending fluid sequencing with breath-centered transitions to help students of all levels find the freedom to take on whatever challenge they are searching for.
With over nine years of teaching experience and more than 750 hours of training across various styles, Dafna brings a well-rounded and dynamic approach to her classes. She is passionate about every facet of yoga—meditation, breathwork, philosophy, and movement—and believes in both depth and breadth in practice. Her teaching philosophy emphasizes being caring rather than careful, encouraging students to step outside their comfort zones without fear but with curiosity and empowerment.
Dafna meets students where they are, supporting their individual goals and intentions for their practice. In her classes, expect a mix of active mobility, unique and playful transitions, and strength-building holds.
No matter the class, Dafna creates a space for students to explore, grow, and connect—both on and off the mat.
