“Anamaya is the best and most beautiful place to rejuvenate! I had the most amazing week. I cannot recommend Anamaya enough. I went as a solo traveler and had the best time. The food was incredible. I was blown away by how delicious, fresh, healthy and clean it all was. The whole week was a great balance of group activities plus time for solo adventures. This trip was the perfect was to disconnect, relax and rejuvenate.” – Eden

GUEST TEACHER BIO

Becca is a plus size body-positive and trauma-informed Yoga Teacher (500hr) with over 15 years of personal yoga practice, a Registered Massage Therapist, and Sound Healer living in Toronto, Canada. Yoga came into her life first as a physical practice when she was recovering from a back injury, and later as an emotional/spiritual/energetic practice during life’s unexpected challenges. Becca did both her 200hr + 300hr yoga teacher trainings immersively in Costa Rica. She aims to be a calm, kind and supportive presence for those she connects with on her path, meeting you where you’re at with compassion and curiosity. She deeply believes that we are all worthy of living the life of our dreams, and wakes up with the motto “Every day is a second chance” in her heart.

In 2016 fate connected Anamaya + Becca’s paths together, when she attended her first life-changing yoga retreat, and after that continued to visit Anamaya annually as a guest. At Anamaya, she received the medicine of this place, felt safe to land in her body, be held by nature, connect to her intuition, and take control of her life. Now things have come full circle, and she’s so honoured to teach yoga retreats at Anamaya, her happy place. Becca is SO excited to show you the magic of Anamaya and Costa Rica, heaven on Earth, and how deeply it can nourish you.

At Anamaya we are held by the rhythms of nature, rising with the sun, playing in the ocean, nourished with incredible fresh high vibe food, and being visited by monkeys in the jungle trees. She wants everyone to experience this feeling.

Becca is a cis-gender female with Sicilian Italian and Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry. She is a highly sensitive person, empath and triple water sign- Sun in Cancer, Moon in Scorpio, and Rising in Cancer. She has always been a natural at bringing people into deeper connection with their feelings – all of their feelings, even the uncomfortable ones.

Becca recharges with her yoga practice, enjoying nature, listening to a new playlist, swimming in Ontario’s lakes and rivers, traveling, laughing (heart medicine), DIY art projects, healthy smoothie creations and making her own bath potions.

She’s also kinda nerdy, deeply connected to the moon phases, and LOVES the ocean – where she feels most at home.

Becca's Teaching Philosophy

Becca aims to create yoga classes that are accessible to all bodies and practice levels, and that feel welcoming and safe to people of different lived experiences.

Through yoga we can harness the potent self-healing power of the nervous system, working with breath and the mind, and how this is interconnected to the body. Becca aims to leave her retreat guests feeling deeply relaxed, empowered in their own bodies, and nourished on a mind, body and soul level.

Join her for a week-long retreat weaving together the ancient Eastern traditions of Yoga and Ayurveda. Ayurveda is India’s ancient medicine system, deeply interconnected with the practice of yoga, and together we will explore these sister sciences moving through morning Hatha Flow and evening Restorative/Yin Ayurvedic Yoga classes.

We will journey through the sacred 5 Elements in Ayurveda (Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether) each day in the yoga classes, practicing to curated playlists and the beautiful nature sounds, as we enjoy a transformational one-week retreat at beautiful Anamaya, surrounded by the Earth’s healing prana energy.

Experiencing our internal & external environments through the lens of Yoga and Ayurveda can provide a powerful opportunity to turn inward and observe without judgment. Allow the magic of experiencing these practices at Anamaya to change your life!

 

From Becca’s Students…

 

“Becca is a gifted yoga teacher who is very in tune with her students and supportive everyone’s unique body and mind. She curated wonderful sequences of poses specifically for folks who work on computers, which really helped me drop into my body and relieve the tension that builds up throughout the workweek.

She also included thoughtful elements in the series like having us answer reflection questions during the first class, and having us write intentions we’d periodically return back to throughout the session.

Yoga with Becca is always a multi-sensory delight! She lovingly curates calming music, gorgeous aromas, comfy props, and beautiful spaces.” ~ Riviera
