We’ll be dining in an open-air treetop restaurant overlooking the beach that offers the best food in the area. Each meal is individually ordered, not scooped up in some heinous buffet tray beneath a sneeze guard. The chef can accommodate any dietary wants or needs, from hardcore keto to hardercore vegan and everything in between. (Best to let us know in advance). The kitchen specializes in vegetarian, fresh & local seafood, chicken, steaks, and salads. They also offer fresh fruit smoothies and mix incredible drinks. You can view the cocktail menu here and start planning. Alcoholic drinks not included in guest package price. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61921ae7ee7b490d2aa588b3/08ca7e9f-d270-4aa9-859f-023f717c9229/monkey.jpeg Retreat October 2022 Scene The Rip Jack Inn is located in a small surf town in Playa Grande, also known as Salinas, a beach community on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica just north of Tamarindo. Right out front of your room is a three-mile stretch of white sand beach with warm, blue water and friendly surf. The Rip Jack is a part of the surrounding natural environment, which means it’s raw and exposed to the tropical elements. You’ll be hearing monkeys and birds and seeing iguanas, insects, and other critters out and about. You’ll see stars and the moon at night. You’ll be not around, but in nature. If you are looking for a sterile, climate-controlled, spotless Four Seasons-type experience, this is not it.

Blue Spirit resides along the coast with three beaches: Playa Guiones, Playa Pelada, and Playa Nosara, all of which are protected as a turtle refuge, and almost half of the greenery in the entire area is protected forest which has become a sanctuary for howler monkeys and other wildlife. This is a natural jungle environment, which means it’s raw and exposed to the tropical elements. You’ll be hearing monkeys and birds and seeing iguanas, insects, and other critters out and about. You’ll see stars and the moon at night. You’ll be not around, but in nature. Between sessions you are free to roam, surf, swim, sunbathe, or just soak in the natural environment. Blue Spirit offers excursions (at your own cost) for those interested in horseback riding, river kayak expeditions, stand up paddle surf, and waterfall hikes. https://www.mrjamesnestor.com/retreatoldoct daily 0.75 2023-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61921ae7ee7b490d2aa588b3/d589498e-16e9-4b37-b7e0-fe7a49b5975d/sunset.jpeg OLD OCT NO LABELS | Breath Retreat | October 2024 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61921ae7ee7b490d2aa588b3/f771cdc0-2b3b-4f57-9af6-1cb1628bd937/BLUE_SPIRIT_17_SUPERIOR-REPLACE-3RD-1.jpg OLD OCT NO LABELS | Breath Retreat | October 2024 - $3999/person Superior Ocean View Room Rooms On Sale April 10 at 10am Pacific Time This is a double occupancy room, which means the total price of the room is $7999 for two people ($3999/person).

Blue Spirit resides along the coast with three beaches: Playa Guiones, Playa Pelada, and Playa Nosara, all of which are protected as a turtle refuge, and almost half of the greenery in the entire area is protected forest which has become a sanctuary for howler monkeys and other wildlife. This is a natural jungle environment, which means it’s raw and exposed to the tropical elements. You’ll be hearing monkeys and birds and seeing iguanas, insects, and other critters out and about. You’ll see stars and the moon at night. You’ll be not around, but in nature. Between sessions you are free to roam, swim, sunbathe, or just soak in the natural environment. Blue Spirit can recommend local activities and help arrange transportation (at your cost) to horseback riding, river kayak expeditions, spearfishing, surfing, stand up paddle surf, and waterfall hikes. https://www.mrjamesnestor.com/stockholm2024 daily 0.75 2023-11-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61921ae7ee7b490d2aa588b3/a97bf759-26ec-4b5f-a273-62bb13d3f019/Dry+Sauna+and+the+Pine+Tree+Forest.jpg Stockholm 2024 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61921ae7ee7b490d2aa588b3/33be4e5d-a59d-4b20-a714-b1d72f9f002b/Room+with+view+on+Nature.jpg Stockholm 2024 47000 SEK | Person Standard Room This is a single or double occupancy room.

Yasuragi is more than just a spa. Inspired by the traditional Japanese bathing culture we have created a place where you can exhale and calm down your nervous system. Mental and physical healing starts when we activate our parasympathetic nervous system. We feel a greater connection to our own needs and are able to show more empathy towards our fellow human beings The Japanese word Yasuragi can be translated as the long deep exhale you make when you really let go and relax. For example, when you, after washing yourself in the Japanese way, slowly sink into a hot spring. You exhale. We want it to be easy for you to be our guest at Yasuragi. When you check in, you will receive a yukata, a Japanese cotton robe and slippers. These you wear throughout your stay; when staying in the Japanese bath, when moving around the house and for your meals. You also get swimwear from us. These are the ones you wear in the Japanese bath. The idea that everyone wears the same yukata and swimwear is to make it easy for you to visit us, and also that we want the environment around you to be quiet and free from too many impressions. You can keep the swimwear after your visit, the yukata and slippers you return. Everything that Yasuragi offers in the form of a simple aesthetic, hot and cold baths, saunas, meditation and other beneficial activities aims to calm the nervous system. Not to forget the proximity to nature. Things people for millennia have used to relax and where the Japanese have been masters at refining rituals around. With the help of an external form of how we do certain things, we can begin to relax within and get more in touch with ourselves and our inner power. Simplified, it can be said that the sympathetic nervous system is activated when the body needs more power, while the parasympathetic is most busy when we rest. When the brain perceives that we need to be alert, for example at work, when we exercise or in social contexts, the sympathetic system is set in motion and releases stress hormones such as cortisol, norepinephrine and adrenaline. When our brain perceives that it can give the body permission to go from the alert stage back to rest, the parasympathetic system is activated, which regulates energy-saving functions and generates reconstruction. It is when the parasympathetic system is activated that the body can recover. And that's what happens when you give yourself the opportunity to relax with the help of everything we offer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61921ae7ee7b490d2aa588b3/0358254b-808f-4e65-ba14-b2014effc19f/yasuragi-food.jpeg Stockholm 2024 Cuisine All guest packages include a continental breakfast bar as well as two gourmet group meals for brunch and dinner.

Each day guests learn the history, science, and practice of breathing techniques that date back more than 5,000 years, from Kundalini to Buteyko, Tummo to Kriyas, Pranayama to Wim Hof Method. Individualized assessments are coupled with multimedia presentations and group breathing sessions focused on optimizing breathing to induce states of deep focus, relaxation, heightened immune response, energy, as well as altered states of consciousness. For the first-time ever, Breath Retreat is coming to Southeast Asia in Spring 2024. We welcome YPO to join us. You will never breathe the same again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61921ae7ee7b490d2aa588b3/27c35958-59dc-41fd-8dfc-93f482b2649d/the-taaras-beach-spa.jpg YPO Malaysia - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61921ae7ee7b490d2aa588b3/5a7dde23-2f06-4718-871c-dc268efe27ee/The-Datai-Langkawi-The-Pavilion-exterior-EM-2.png YPO Malaysia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61921ae7ee7b490d2aa588b3/5e22b7b9-e295-4f6b-973e-35783247f0e8/malaysia3.jpeg YPO Malaysia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61921ae7ee7b490d2aa588b3/1ddf4b85-7767-4b16-acf9-fd7c85eb2ad0/the-lobby-lounge-bar.jpg YPO Malaysia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61921ae7ee7b490d2aa588b3/3d341da3-3796-4ed1-ad32-dc60b3455bcc/Tulum+1.jpg YPO Malaysia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61921ae7ee7b490d2aa588b3/a6aa33c2-b932-42a8-8aad-873937f47bce/Tulum+3.jpeg YPO Malaysia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61921ae7ee7b490d2aa588b3/68c18118-b238-4912-9179-17f21f395647/malaysia7.jpeg YPO Malaysia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61921ae7ee7b490d2aa588b3/f48109e3-3a44-42da-abc0-a2a395dd269f/malaysia5.jpeg YPO Malaysia - Rundown • Daily lectures with James Nestor exploring the history and science of breathing • Group and individual breathing instruction with Chuck McGee and a team of renowned experts • Daily group breakfast, lunch, and dinner • Yoga, Qi Gong, HIIT and alignment workshops • Evening sound baths • Engaging with extraordinary humans from all over Planet Earth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61921ae7ee7b490d2aa588b3/1d14b864-a7f5-4f67-8ccb-e56817c50d9d/Untitled+presentation+%284%29.jpg YPO Malaysia Your Hosts JAMES NESTOR will lead daily multimedia informational sessions, live expert interviews, and archival reviews on the history and science of breathing techniques.

It is located 150 kilometers west of London, about 2.5 hours transit time from central London via car or train. We chose Cheltenham for the first ever Breath Retreat Power Weekend because of its beauty, access to nature, incredible facilities at Ladies’ College, and range of accommodation options. There are dozens of hotels within a few minutes walk from the main lecture and breathwork halls, ranging from fancy to affordable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61921ae7ee7b490d2aa588b3/5aa99274-4f85-4171-8bf4-ddda142f37de/20-03-2024+fti+wintercircus_1101.jpg England October 2024 Your Host JAMES NESTOR is a science journalist and author of the international bestselling book, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, which has been translated into more than 35 languages and has sold more than three million copies worldwide.

Nestor will be available throughout the weekend during and after lectures to answer questions.

Schedule times below are subject to change. The subject matter and flow of lectures may vary slightly depending on the dynamic and needs of the group. A formal, final schedule with locations will be sent to registered attendees prior to the retreat. Thursday, Oct 24 – Opening Lecture James Nestor will open with a multimedia lecture overview on the ancient history and modern science of why humans are the worst breathers – and how to fix it. We will close with a meditative breathwork session. 17:45 - 19:00: Registration 19:00 - 20:30: James Nestor Lecture 20:30 - 21:00: Breathwork for sleep Friday, Oct 25 – Breathing Biomechanics and Qi Gong Fancy breathwork techniques will do little unless you first know how to breathe properly. On Friday we will focus on how to assess respiratory dysfunctions and offer clear instructions on how to improve biomechanics and breathing to bolster sleep, mental focus, and athletic while decreasing symptoms of asthma, anxiety, panic, and more. We will also be exploring some ancient (and secretive!) breathwork techniques that have been practiced for thousands of years to heat and heal the body. 9:30 - 10:30: Group Breathwork Note: The later start time is on purpose - you will want to eat breakfast early (a light breakfast at 7:00, or no breakfast, is highly recommended) so that food is digested in time for breathwork. 10:45 - 12:30: James Nestor Lecture 12:30 - 1:45: Lunch (on your own) Option to venture out into Cheltenham and eat at one of the many restaurants OR stay on site and enjoy a box lunch option on the Garden Lawn commons.

This is a natural jungle environment, which means it’s raw and exposed to the tropical elements. You’ll be hearing monkeys and birds and seeing iguanas, insects, and other critters out and about. You’ll see stars and the moon at night. You’ll be not around, but in nature. Between sessions you are free to roam, swim, sunbathe, or just soak in the natural environment.

you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61921ae7ee7b490d2aa588b3/5f3adee0-d77e-4188-82d7-e3637915a126/Special+Dinner+at+Tranquil+Oasis+Resort.jpg Bali 2026 Scene Our retreat center is located in the Balinese jungles of Ubud. This is a natural jungle environment, which means it’s raw and exposed to the tropical elements. You’ll be hearing monkeys and birds and insects, and other critters out and about. You’ll see stars and the moon at night. You’ll be not around, but in nature. If you are looking for 5-star Ritz Carlton White Lotus-style experience, this retreat is not for you. (For those seeking luxury, check out our March 2026 Whales & Breath Retreat on a yacht in Dominican Republic!) This Bali retreat center has a more low-key, bohemian, yoga-style vibe. It usually hosts yoga teacher trainings year-round. The fancier rooms are fancier and standard rooms are more simple and completely serviceable. We chose this location for its privacy and its spacious, truly psychedelic meeting hall, in which we will be holding our breathwork and multimedia sessions. We have been wanting to host a more budget-friendly retreat for years and found this was best place to do it. Between sessions you are free to roam, swim, sunbathe, or just soak in the natural environment. We are also organizing some day trips and ceremonies for those wanting to see more of the area. More on all that soon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61921ae7ee7b490d2aa588b3/a909c23a-1ecf-4b52-acf1-d79997d66ae7/1+%282%29.png Bali 2026 - $2490/2890 Deluxe King This is a double occupancy room with King Size Bed.
