If you are in menopause or post-menopause, you may feel as though your body is betraying you. You have the same diet and do the same physical exercises as before, but your body is gaining weight—especially around the belly—and you don’t see when it will stabilize. The key to releasing excess weight, even during menopause, is identifying the 2–3 most impactful habits to change and giving yourself the decisive push needed. Once again, we begin to honor our body and its needs. What are the first 2 things you should no longer have in your body? Inflammation Cortisol As long as you have inflammation and high cortisol levels, losing excess weight will be difficult because, during menopause, hormonal changes cause an increase in inflammation and cortisol.

Co-creator of the Body Fx methods and Yoga Balles trainer, she has been driven for more than 12 years by a deep desire to guide others toward taking control of their health through knowledge and education.

Jump Back and Jump Through with Joseph Armstrong In this class, Joseph Armstrong breaks down the subtle body mechanics that make graceful transitions possible, then leads students through drills designed to build a connection to their foundation and the strength needed to float. He explores both the fundamentals of these movements and how they relate to more advanced arm balances. Joseph recalls telling his own teacher that his arms were too short to lift up and jump back—a memory that now brings a knowing smile when he hears similar doubts from his own students. This class is designed to leave participants feeling empowered, with the understanding that while the journey may be challenging, the ability to jump back is within reach. About Joseph Armstrong Joseph Armstrong is an Authorized level 2 teacher. He teaches yoga with feet planted firmly in tradition and gaze turned towards the future. His search for a more present and peaceful life first led him to the practice in 2008. A few years later he was in India, studying intensively. After finally overcoming a long struggle with addiction, Joseph began experimenting with Ashtanga Yoga. He understood quickly that the lineage was calling to him to deepen his practice. He underwent a 2 year apprenticeship program at the world renowned Miami Life Center, continuing his education under his teachers Tim Feldman and Kino MacGregor. In 2016 he completed 2 months of study in Mysore under Sharath Jois. 2017 brought Joseph to Guatemala where he taught Mysore Style for over a year while also traveling and giving workshops in Europe and the Americas. He currently lives in Florida and is the Director of the world renowned Miami Life Center. Joseph teaches yoga because attempts to do any and everything else ended disastrously. But when he finally devoted himself to hispassion, he became an asset to himself and others. He hopes his practice allows him to be ever more loving and to exist gently.

THE BEGIN WITH YOGA RETREAT — Tulum, Mexico is a six-day immersive Ashtanga Yoga experience designed for beginner to intermediate practitioners who feel called to dive deeper into their practice and explore the roots of the traditional Ashtanga method. Set in the heart of the Mayan jungle, this accessible retreat welcomes students who are curious, committed, and open to learning — not just the postures, but the breath, rhythm, and inner discipline that shape a sustainable practice. This experience is for those ready to reconnect with themselves, deepen their understanding, and experience yoga as a lived practice — far beyond the mat. Held at the stunning Amaite Retreat Centre in Tulum, this Soul Destinations retreat invites you to step away from daily life and into a space of simplicity, nature, and intentional living. Surrounded by lush jungle, cenotes, and ancient wisdom, you’ll be supported through daily Ashtanga Yoga guided and Mysore practices, pranayama, workshops, and cultural experiences — all carefully curated to nourish both body and spirit. This retreat is rooted in the Ashtanga tradition as taught at Energie EnCorps: accessible, respectful, and community-driven. Whether you are newer to the practice or already established in your practice, you’ll be guided in a way that honors where you are — with space to grow, explore, and build confidence in a supportive, non-competitive environment. Come alone or with a friend. Practice deeply. Rest fully. Reconnect — with yourself and with a like-minded community from around the world. This is more than a retreat. It’s an invitation to begin again. From the inside out. Why come on a retreat with us? Space to Return to Yourself Stepping away from daily life allows the noise to settle. In the stillness of the Mayan jungle, you reconnect with your inner rhythm and remember what truly nourishes you. Seeds for a Lifelong Practice Daily practice, guided with care, creates lasting foundations. This retreat isn’t about doing more — it’s about learning how to practice in a way that supports you for years to come. Yoga as a Living Tradition Through breath, rhythm, and mindful repetition, yoga becomes more than movement — it becomes something you live, not just something you do. Nature, Nourishment, and Presence Practicing in lush jungle surroundings, enjoying wholesome meals, and stepping away from screens allows the body to soften, the mind to quiet, and presence to naturally return. Community That Grounds and Renews Shared practice creates genuine connection. You’re held in a supportive, human community — returning home steadied, inspired, and deeply rooted in your practice.
