Hatha Yoga, TRE® + Myofascial Release
NOURISH & RELEASE is a yoga, TRE® and myofascial release retreat designed as an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with what feels true. Set against the sound of the ocean and the beauty of the land, it offers space to quiet outside noise and let your inner voice come forward.
Over the course of the week, guests are supported with twice-daily practices that blend movement, breath, and profound release. The intention is to gently unwind tension, stress, and the stored patterns the body has been carrying, helping you return to a greater sense of ease and presence.
Yoga, TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises), myofascial release, and community rituals are thoughtfully combined by Aviva Levine and Nadia Imafidon to create a supportive container for rest and renewal. Yoga builds strength and steadiness, myofascial release helps soften deep layers of chronic tightness, and TRE® encourages the nervous system to discharge held tension. Together, these practices invite balance across body and mind.
Guests will enjoy three daily organic, freshly prepared meals, with time for ceremony, including an Aztec Sweat lodge option, as well as hiking, dancing, swimming, play, and connection with new friends. Held on the Pacific coast of Mexico at Mar de Jade, the setting is ideal for deep nourishment and spaciousness.
Whether replenishment comes from farm-to-table meals, fresh juices, an afternoon in a hammock, the daily program, a jungle excursion, or the rhythm of the ocean, this retreat encourages slowing down, self-reflection, and joy. It is an opportunity to release what you have been carrying and make room for the ease that is ready to emerge.
With years of experience in yoga, bodywork, teaching, and ritual, Aviva and Nadia bring grounded guidance and heartfelt care. Their shared intention is to help guests feel nourished, unburdened, and deeply restored, so they can move forward in connection with themselves and the world.
Aviva Levine
Trained as a Forrest Yoga teacher under Ana Forrest, Aviva Levine is drawn to the body’s capacity for transformation and is passionate about supporting others in discovering that change within themselves. Her work weaves together yoga, pilates, TRE®, and craniosacral work to deepen connection with body and Spirit. With compassion, curiosity, and humor, she creates a gentle space for moving from struggle and limitation toward integration of body, mind, and soul. Aviva is the founder of Breathe In Love Retreats and one of the founders of Breathing Room. Based in the Bay Area, she shares her growing range of tools through private and group instruction.
Nadia Imafidon
Yoga has supported Nadia Imafidon in navigating debilitating depression and anxiety for many years. When she first discovered yoga, she began to unravel and release the mental anguish and pain she had carried since childhood. Because that pain once felt too unsafe to access, she lived for decades in her mind rather than in her body. Today, she offers practices that encourage body wisdom, radical self-love, and self-compassion through self-exploration. Nadia is a 200-hour holistic hatha yoga teacher and reiki healer based in Oakland. She offers moving meditations and accessible tools to support the mind while honoring the body as it is today. Through yoga and myofascial release, she guides students through postures and simple strategies to release tension, increase body awareness, and support overall wellbeing.
