Honored, Joyed, Privileged: A Retreat Out to Find Our Way In with Josh Mathew-Meier

Your TourHero

Hero Josh Mathew-Meier

A performer from a young age, Josh has always had an interest in movement as a form of expression. While receiving his BFA in Musical Theatre, he was exposed to multiple forms of dance but was never really a ‘dancer’. He arrived in NYC in 2005, attended his first yoga class, and found that it was the right speed for a ‘mover’ while being just as expressive and beautiful as classical dance. Adding in the deep intellectual and emotional connections had him immediately hooked. Following years of exposure to awe-inspiring instructors, he found himself full to the brim, and the only option was to start putting it back in the world. He received his certification in 2014 and has expanded his knowledge through a subsequent 400+ hours of continuing education, practices in myriad modalities, and teaching 6K+ hours to date. His goal in teaching and practice is to cultivate multiple levels of awareness while aligning the physical body with the heart’s intention. By creating a safe, healthy environment for the exploration and play of dynamic asana, he aims to weave the depths of ancient philosophy with the demands of modern life, allowing for a yogic approach to any situation the every day might present.

Final day out of our journey in

-As the sun rises over the retreat on our last full day together, inhale the energy that fills the air around you, and prepare to take on whatever the day brings with intention, strength, and enjoyment.

-Our schedule for most of today is open, offering a world of possibilities for relaxing at the resort, venturing out into town, or immersing yourself in nature.
