E-RYT 500, Hi, I'm Courtney, an ex-gymnast, spinally fused, 17-year yogi, Ashtangi, trained in India, with a gypSEA soul whose practice draws from ashtanga, hatha and vinyasa. My heart-centered approach evokes an understanding of interconnectedness through a focus on self-love, nature and seva (service). The intention being for my students to discover the light within that ignites their path to inner peace, the connection which opens the heart to universal love.

I am just a girl, committed to following the guide, that resides in my heart space, my inner compass. I love to just go with the flow. I try not to hold onto any idea, habit, or routine too tightly but rather allow myself to just listen to what I need each day, in each moment. Moving to Costa Rica two years ago changed my life in ways I will never be the same. Moving to Colorado grounded me into my root chakra, allowing me to find roots of who I was and opening each day to who I am becoming. Moving to Costa Rica moved me into my heart chakra where I could live my truth and follow my dharma.

Being a natural intuitive most of my life, I started my studies with natural, holistic, and healing therapies in 2010. I began the journey for my own passionate search in finding awareness and love for myself. It was serendipitous and came to me in a part of my life when I needed it to show up the most. I had been sick with no explanation from doctors, woke up from a routine ENT procedure, and had no use of my left arm. Then I lost my father to ALS. Becoming my own self-love warrior is the most rewarding journey I have ever been on. I am blessed every day to share my story and passion.

Location
Uvita is a small village in southern Costa Rica. It is notable for its location, where the mountains most closely reach the Pacific Ocean, it is the closest village to Marino Ballena National Park (40 minutes walking, or a 5 minute taxi ride). This tropical hamlet possesses great charm in an unspoiled and serene atmosphere. With palm trees swaying in the wind, providing shady relief from the intense Pacific sun, there is plenty of outdoor options in this tropical paradise.
