The experience was transcendent—beyond the physical act of practicing yoga. In the first few hours of the retreat it became clear that many of us were looking for a similar experience. A longing to connect to other men in a way that we all too often are not able, or comfortable doing. As the weekend progressed, I saw men, who a day earlier had been complete strangers, sharing intimate thoughts, hopes, and ideas—about their lives, insecurities, and struggles. Supported by a yoga practice that not only expanded our physical bodies, but more importantly our minds.

I wasn’t sure when to expect when I made the choice to do a men’s yoga retreat in Mexico. It took some courage to push myself to spend a week with a group of strangers in a foreign place. At some point, I realized I felt connected to an impressive community of men. I felt safe, supported and more relaxed than I have ever been. I took a leap of faith and it exceeded all my expectations.

Adam, Andrew and Antonio create for their men’s retreat a beautiful, inclusive, safe and powerful environment in which participants are invited to explore their heart, mind and body—and masculinity—in a way that allows for healing to happen, discoveries to be made, and joy and connection to be experienced. Feeling extremely lucky is how one comes out of such a unique and rare brotherly adventure. They earned my respect and get my gratitude.
