Arrive Friday, October 13th, 2023 10:00am-6:00pm. Set up your own tents or reserve one of our Yurt complete with electricity, air mattress and sheets, ready to go!!!!
We really can't call this "camping" so we will call it "glamping"!!!
It's very exciting to combine this year's retreat weekend with our neighbor, Ponderosa Guest Ranch. This retreat weekend offers all the cool things about our cozy camping experience with the Wild West Yoga Festival day pass, all included!!!! Enjoy the hospitality of M & R Farms and Ponderosa Guest Ranch. You'll get a one of a kind experience with world renowned yoga teachers. I think I'm most excited about practicing with Amy Ippoliti. I have followed her teachings for many years. Now, we all get to take a yoga class, up close and in a very personal setting.
You will get home grown organic vegetables prepared by a vegan/vegetarian chef. All meals included, excluding your time at the Wild West Festival.
Last year's attendees made new friendships, reconnected with old friends, found inspiration to go home and take action on their dreams. Was it the retreat or the company? It was both. Come and find clarity in the serene country landscape. There's something magical about being close to nature. Fall asleep under a star filled sky, take inspirational yoga classes, take a walk in nature, bring your bike for a ride, simply sitting by the enormous fire pit, whatever it is that you need, come to this cocoon of serenity.
Enjoy sunrise meditation and asana classes, restorative yoga, yoga Nidra for deep rest and relaxation, fire ceremony, Vegan/vegetarian cuisine, and much more!
Gretchen and Michelle have been leading Yoga Teacher Trainings and retreats since 2009. You'll be in good hands as we lead and hopefully inspire you.
You do not need to be an experienced camper. We will take good care of you here. There are options available to where you simply "Just Show Up" and we can handle the rest.
There will be a sliding scale option for financial assistance. We want to be all inclusive so if you are experiencing a financial hardship, give me a call.

About The Yoga Studio Of Corpus Christi
LET YOUR INNER LIGHT SHINE THROUGH!
The Yoga Studio of Corpus Christi would like to thank everyone for their support. Established in 2005, we have developed a family feel in the studio and teacher training programs. We are always excited about watching our past students and teachers grow. It is very exciting to be able to share yoga with someone and to watch them go through the process of self discovery. This is the reason the studio existed. With our library, workshops, teacher training, and availability to talk with your teachers on a personal level we are promoting your personal growth! Please check out our teacher training programs, workshops and continuing education courses.
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?” Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
By Marianne Williamson from A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles
May many miracles come your way. Don’t be afraid to go out and let your light shine. While you are at it help someone else discover theirs. Serve the greater good!
Much Love To You All!

Natasha Perez, RYT 500
Teacher: Natasha Perez
About Natasha: Natasha Perez is a 200 HR Registered Yoga Teacher and recent graduate of the Yoga Alliance Teacher Training Program from the Yoga Studio of Corpus Christi with Michelle Acebo and Gretchen Weber. Originally from Maui, Hawaii, Natasha has been around yoga since the age of four, thanks to her first guru, her yogini mother. Natasha’s personal practice on the mat started in 2016 when a string of unprecedented life events forced her to slow down and reevaluate how she was living. Thereafter, she started down a path of personal healing, igniting her passion for holistic wellness and pursuing a certificate in Meditation and Natural Health & Healing from the University of Hawaii on Maui in 2013. Through her personal practice and experience with yoga, Natasha has come to understand that the healing process does not only occur through the physical practice of asana, or finding stillness in meditation; instead, the truest form of healing, comes from within. As a yoga instructor, Natasha hopes to help clients and students facilitate personal healing experiences through the powerful practice of asana, and other yogic tools, such as pranayama and meditation, that can be easily utilized both on and off the mat. She truly believes that yoga enables healing on all levels: mentally, physically, and spiritually and looks forward to guiding you through your practice, namaste!
