A DYNAMIC YOGA RETREAT

May 17 - 22, 2025

WITH Bailey Wesselmann

AT A LUxE YOGA RESORT IN NOSARA, COSTA RICA

+ New friendships and cherished memories, shared with a community of like-minded adventurers

+ A vibrant surge of energy from 6 days of movement and basking in the Costa Rican sunshine

+ A profound connection to yourself through embodied yoga practices that ground you

+ A refreshed perspective, mastering the balance between work, fun, and wellbeing

+ A newfound appreciation and excitement of exploring new horizons

+ A personal toolkit of yoga practices and mindfulness techniques to continue your journey—perhaps a stronger handstand or a deeper backbend

+ And, of course, a few tan lines to remind you of your adventure!

“The last time I traveled to Costa Rica, I was feeling drained and in need of something to bring me back to myself. There’s something magical about this place—the sun, the ocean, the adventures, the fresh food—that made me feel like me again and I want to share that feeling with you!

This retreat is designed to be fun, lighthearted, and full of joy, with plenty of opportunities to move, explore, and connect. We’ll practice yoga in a way that’s not just about introspection but about moving in your body—feeling the energy, the fire, and the strength that yoga brings.

I’m a huge advocate of yoga as a physical, active experience that helps you tap into your own vitality, just like traveling does. Both yoga and travel allow us to reconnect with our bodies, minds, and sense of wonder.

Whether we’re flowing through embodied yoga sessions, hiking through lush landscapes, lounging on the beach, or savoring fresh, nourishing meals, this retreat is about embracing connection to your most vibrant self.

You’ll feel the radiance of the sun, the energy of the group, and the power of being fully present in your surroundings. It’s not about being serious or heavy—it’s about finding the fun, the freedom, and the joy in every moment, while still tapping into that deeper sense of connection that yoga and adventure can bring.”

What to expect from Bailey’s Classes

+ A welcoming, lighthearted environment where everyone feels at ease, regardless of experience level

+ Emphasis on intentional transitions, valuing how you move from one pose to the next as much as the poses themselves

+ Opportunities to break down poses, explore tricky transitions, and try new movements in a supportive group setting

+ Core-focused flows to build inner strength, complemented by mindful breathwork and grounding sequences

+ Time for deep relaxation with Yin yoga and Yoga Nidra to unwind and find balance amidst active sequences

+ Focus on the "in-betweens" of yoga and life, transforming transitions into powerful growth opportunities.

+ Plenty of opportunities to laugh, connect, and fully enjoy the experience!

Vinyasa Flow:

A flowy, integrated class where we use our body and breath to connect to ourselves. Expect smooth movements and grounded transitions with a focus on the spaces between the poses.

Power Vinyasa:

This class kicks it up a notch by focusing on the strength and control in the "in-betweens." It’s not just about hitting the pose but about how you move from point A to point B with purpose and connection. These transitions challenge your mind-body awareness and help you build strength and focus.

Core Flow:

This class ignites your core strength, focusing on the centerline of your body. We’ll start with a warm-up to activate your core and then move into full-body flows, drawing energy from your center to power each pose. It’s a dynamic way to challenge yourself and discover the power within.

Yin (for Balancing out the Fire):

Yin yoga is all about slowing down and finding balance. In this class, we’ll take the time to unwind and soften into longer-held poses that target the deeper layers of your body. As someone who used to think yin was too slow, I now realize there’s so much power in stillness.

Handstand Workshop:

Let’s flip everything upside down! In this workshop, we’ll break down the mechanics of handstands and work on building strength, balance, and confidence to explore this empowering inversion. It’s a fun, challenging way to play with your practice and tap into your physical power.

Hey there, I’m Bailey! My yoga journey started in 2017 when I was recovering from a year of stress fractures caused by my track and cross-country days. After spending what felt like forever in physical therapy, I craved movement, and that’s when yoga found me. Little did I know, it wouldn’t just help me heal physically, but also provide mental clarity and stability—something I really needed.

My adventurous spirit was sparked much earlier when I moved to Lyon, France, at 12 years old with my parents. I spent my teenage years attending a French public school, becoming fluent in both French and Spanish, and traveling all over Europe and parts of Northern Africa.

Then in college I studied abroad in Taipei, Taiwan. I immersed myself in Southeast Asia, became proficient in Mandarin, and, of course, continued practicing yoga. The adventure and the challenges of living abroad only deepened my love for exploring the world and my own personal growth.

Nowadays, I work for a global strategy and technology consulting firm in Austin, TX. My corporate job is positioned to make a real impact on the community around us, which is something I’m so grateful for.

To me, yoga and travel are two sides of the same coin—they both help us connect with ourselves and the world in new ways. And when we connect with our bodies, mind, and breath on the mat, we take that clarity and power into everything we do in life.

When you come to my class, expect an upbeat, energetic vibe. I bring my bright, and slightly quirky self (with some bad jokes in tow), and my hope is that you leave feeling empowered, connected, and ready to conquer whatever life throws your way. Together, let’s flow, sweat, grow, and maybe even laugh a little.

Can’t wait to see you in Costa Rica!!
