Kelly Ann La Sirena
Core Subject: Paddleboard Yoga
Kelly Ann is a mermaid gypsea yogini. She loves to travel, swim, surf, and SUP. She teaches athletic alignment based Hatha flow yoga and Yin yoga classes on land and stand up paddle yoga classes on the water. Her curiosity about mindful movement patterns is what fuels her creativity and makes her yoga classes both fun and challenging.
Location
The state of Oaxaca is made up of steep mountainsides, winding roads and lush tropical valleys and lagoons, and is bordered on the west by the wild Pacific Ocean.The neighbourhood of La Punta- right next door to Zicatela- will be our home base for our week on retreat.
You will start every day with yoga on the rooftop palapa deck and enjoy the most delicious fresh fruit breakfast smoothie bowl you have ever had. You will have the rest of your day to sunbathe, surf, or swim and the company of our group of Mermaids to check out the local mercado, taquerias, ristorantes, and sip fresh coco frios on the beach.
