My upcoming yoga retreat

 

Mysore Hangout

March 17-30, 2025

Daily Mysore with Elise Espat & Jose Troche in Playa del Carmen, Mexico

Who we are: Two friends here to support you and our community

Elise Espat began her yoga journey in 2001 and has been teaching since 2004. In 2006 she practiced with Pattabhi Jois and Sharath Jois in NYC and began making regular pilgrimages to India in 2007. She earned Level 2 Authorization in 2010. With a deep commitment to tradition, she continues to teach and practice, fostering a supportive and transformative environment for her students.

Jose Troche has been practicing Yoga since 2008 and teaching since 2011. With a teaching journey spanning across Latin America, Jose’s approach goes beyond the physical, embracing yoga as a tool for healing, connection, and transformation. His unique perspective has led him to organize workshops, intensives, and retreats, offering safe and enriching spaces to explore holistic well-being.

Why Retreat?

I believe deeply in the transformative power of ashtanga yoga as well as travel. A retreat is a beautiful opportunity to unite the two.

Real time to focus on yoga without distraction is a gift that not everyone has the chance to experience in daily life. Joining a retreat allows us to be surrounded by the energy of other people who also have a practice and similar interests. We are able to expand our community and be uplifted by one another. We are able to enjoy food that feeds our practice and explore an area together with new friends.

Exposure to new ideas, people, cultures, and environments teaches awareness and with this, I believe, can come real change for the positive in how we choose to live our lives. We are able to see ourselves more deeply and become more connected with the world around us.
