yoga somatic healing retreat

With Diana Paschal

November 7-12, 2025

Verdad Nicaragua

Over stimulation from city life and laptop life, will take its toll on to your nervous system. Join me in paradise for a daily Katonah Yoga and Somatic practices to feel more embodied, grounded and centered.

Join for for a sacred pause, in Nicaragua, for a week full of play, adventure, transformation and restoration. With opportunities for waterfall nature adventures, surfing, beach time and healing work.ย During the retreat, weโ€™ll use a blend of Katonah Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga and somatic movement, to discern your blind spots, cultivate better movement patterns, and create more harmony inside and out.ย Our retreat will inspire you to live with more clarity, confidence, freedom and JOY.

Using refined movement practices and nervous system work, weโ€™ll support you with becoming more embodied, self aware, and emotionally attuned, so you can find more peace in your life.ย Through curiosity, compassion, and a map to traverse the terrain of our bodies, we can navigate life more efficiently, effectively and mindfully.

Somatic work encourages self-discovery and deepens our connection to our inner world. Our bodies and nervous systems holds all of our history and subconscious. Engaging in embodiment practices is an ongoing journey that can be both challenging and profoundly rewarding. As we cultivate presence in our bodily experiences, we often uncover new insights about who we are.ย Your mind is an instrument, don’t let it play you.

There’s always a level of resistance to retreating, to taking a pause in your routine, even though deep in your bones, you know you need it.ย When you remove stagnation the body, and find movement that supports longevity and vitality, you begin to feel more innate Joy and see new opportunities for your life. You realize how much choice you truly have. Iโ€™ve been teaching for over 10 years, and I canโ€™t wait for an incredible week with you!

What to expect:

  • Revitalizing retreat to reconnect with your inner radiance, wisdom, joy and power
  • Daily Katonah Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Breathwork and Somatic Practices
  • Eco-Luxury accommodations
  • Discover the power of embodiment practices and tools that facilitate deep transformation
