Immerse yourself in the embodiment of dance and learn practical tools to help you take your movement skill to the next level. Using mindfulness practices, new choreography, and stimulating conditioning techniques, you’ll learn how to move more efficiently and push your edge of conditioning when dancing in any class – all without losing your connection to joy. You will also get to experience Al and Vickie’s newest choreography from their Ecstasy routine! This playshop is open to everybody.
Every year, Vickie Saito and I lead local and international retreats to exquisite locations designed to replenish you in body, mind, heart, and spirit. Our 7-day international retreats offer a restorative blend of Inspired Dance, yoga, MELT Method Treatments, meditation, and experiential workshops balanced with stunning immersions into nature.
We’ve taken groups to the southern-most black sand beaches of Panama, the mountains of Costa Rica, and are regular returnees to Xinalani, a yoga resort in Mexico situated on the Banderas Bay where the jungle meets the ocean.
Next up? Sardinia, Italy 🇮🇹
Join us in October, 2027 as we retreat to the stunning island of Sardinia. Sardinia is famous for its stunning beaches with Caribbean-like turquoise waters, diverse landscapes from mountains to wild coasts, distinct culture, and as one of the world's Blue Zones, known for longevity. This 7-day retreat will take place at a retreat center near the Mediterranean Sea and will feature cultural excursions, organic meals, and a daily schedule that balances mindful movement with rest–ensuring you have plenty of time to enjoy the beach!
Location, rooms, and pricing details coming soon.
