In this Costa Rica winter retreat at Rayos del Sol, we’ll alternate between dynamic movement and meditative stillness, with time out for beach lounging and sunset cocktails.
Scott DavisMy co-teacher and friend Scott Davis is an integrative health and movement expert. As you can read here, Scott is a true visionary. In addition to running a busy Eastern Medicine practice, he taught yoga for 20 years and loved it, but ultimately found the static nature of the poses limiting for himself and his students. That led to a new focus on “functional movement,” where he now helps people understand the range of what their bodies can do, leading to more resilience and strength and freedom.
Scott approaches movement the way I approach meditation: as an exploration, with a focus on understanding the core skills, so that people feel more empowered and alive.
Days will be a mix of sitting and yoga, of creative movement and play, of rest and beach-chilling, with healthy meals and optional jungle and surfing excursions.
The curriculum will build through the week, starting with simple patterns and moving into richer sequences for mind and body. This retreat is for adventurers of all ages and skill levels; we always meet people where they are at, so don’t let any physical or mental limitations prevent you from joining us.
We are serious about the “unlimited.” Not only is this about expanding body and mind, it is also about expanding our relationship to practice in general. Both Scott and I are passionately interested in shifting people out of the consumer mindset and into a stance that is more participatory and engaged. That means we’re also planning a fun mini workshop at the end of the retreat, where each person will explore the idea of creating and sharing their own hybrid practice. This is one retreat you can bring home with you.

“Jeff is a spectacular teacher. He is connected, brilliant, impassioned, funny and self-effacing. He overflows with enthusiasm for the subject matter. He listens intently to each person’s experiences in a real human way. Jeff’s mix of self-care and science is perfect for the skeptical-minded cynic. ”
