Healthy organic vegetarian meals, fruit juices and teas from our land will be served daily. Breathwork, yoga, sound healing, acupuncture and mediation will be part of your everyday activities as well as nature hikes within our 27-acre haven that will include bathing in the most pristine river. The last night of this healing retreat will be spent at a Hot Springs Hotel that will include 3 meals with beverages, horseback riding and group transportation to the airport.

Breathwork combined with yoga practice is a portal to our internal and external biodome that leads you to expansion, mayor shifts, insight, healing, and transformation.

Some benefits of breathwork include:
• Regulation of nervous system
• Reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.
• Retrains unhealthy breathing patterns.
• Increased carbon dioxide tolerance
• Increased utilization of oxygen
• Moves cerebral spinal fluid through body.
• Use stress neurotransmitters to your advantage.
• Enter deep meditative brainwave frequencies.
• Creates brief beneficial low oxygen states (intermittent hypoxia)

Breathwork and yoga will be guided by Alex Duran, a wellness advocate, breathwork facilitator, and trauma informed space holder.

The concept of Grounded in Color came to life after taking a 200hr yoga training. It was the first time she was overcome with vibrant colors during a breathing meditation. It was also the first time her body acknowledged the physical discomfort from being the only brown Latinx in a yoga space.
At this time of her life, over five years ago she started deeply exploring her relationship to wellness and mindfulness, through Ashtanga yoga, breath work, sound and noticed the positive results, as well as the stories held in her body from painful events.

Alex uses a blend of breathing techniques to move in and out of homeostasis safely. Using a breath guidance “mountain climbing” approach, moving through various rounds of climbing, peaking, and recovering. The sessions will be paired with sound healing, music or drums, therapeutic touch, or energetic movement.

For Alex, mindfulness is much more than just practice. It is a gift of tools to bring us back into our bodies, an opportunity to discover our sovereignty through processing what is held in our tissues, and to tap into our breath in ways that provide nervous system regulation. Inviting people to practice, witness and feel held. Alex spends time creating safe spaces for diverse clients by offering varying practices and tools that feel good for them at their own pace, own language, and own vibe. Meeting people where they are within their lived experiences without pushing anyone out of their comfort zone. Creating these spaces is important to her, as these spaces are hard to find. All are welcome here.
