Rooted in Connection: Exploring the Body, Mind, Spirit & Nature in Costa Rica with Emalee Sigur
Your TourHero
Hey, I’m Emalee, and I’m all about exploring—whether it’s the world around me or the world within. I’m a plant, dog, and cat mom, and yoga has been my anchor for cultivating connection in all areas of life. For me, yoga is about building a relationship with the body, getting to know its strengths and limits, and moving in a way that feels intelligent and intentional. But it’s also about creating a meditation through movement, letting the mind find stillness as we flow. And, of course, there’s the heart—allowing emotions the space they need to rise and fall without judgment.
That’s what yoga means to me: connection. During this retreat, we’ll dive into those connections—whether we’re flowing on the mat, sharing experiences with each other, or giving back to the local community. We’ll even have the opportunity to volunteer at a wildlife sanctuary, deepening our bond with nature while making a positive impact.
Join me in Costa Rica’s lush jungle for a retreat where we’ll explore, move, and connect—both with ourselves and the incredible environment around us. We’ll flow, enjoy delicious food, and find new ways to give back. I can’t wait to meet you and share this adventure!
