Born to Thrive – Missy & David Hartley

Born to Thrive: Rooted, Radiant and Ready.

 

You already know how to survive. What if you were meant for more than that?

 

Missy and David hold space for the parts of you that have been on autopilot too long. Your body, your relationships, the quiet weight you’ve stopped noticing you’re carrying.

 

As the Year of the Fire Horse gives way to the Goat, this week is an invitation to trade constant motion for creativity, connection, and calm.

 

Sound healing, partner yoga, and honest conversation about the life you actually want.

 

Come solo or bring someone you love. Leave lighter than you arrived.

The food, the location, the daily morning Yoga, evening restorative yoga, meditation, workshops & spa treatments helped my mind, body & heart be restored & heal. Anamaya is a true blessing & I pray to return to Anamaya for such an experience like this one again.” – Gez

Rooted

Sound Healing + Chakra Alignment
An immersive sound healing session using wooden instruments, sound bowls, and deep resonant tones to bring your energy back into balance. Missy guides you through the chakras, helping quiet the mind, settle the nervous system, and open space for what’s been asking to be felt. Many guests describe this as the moment the week truly begins, the point where everything else falls away.
This 75 minute experience is $40 per person (or $75 for all 3).

Radiant

Partner Yoga + Deep Connection
A partner yoga practice for couples, friends, or solo travelers (we’ll pair you if you come alone). Through supported poses, eye gazing, and synchronized movement, you’ll rediscover the strength that comes from not carrying everything on your own. Past guests have found this practice unexpectedly emotional, a reminder of why we choose to love the people we love, and how much stronger we are together.
This 90 minute workshop is $20 per person (or $75 for all 3).

Ready

Born to Travel: Freedom, Finances & Vision
A hands-on workshop for anyone dreaming of a life with more freedom to roam. David and Missy share what they’ve learned building a life on the road, from practical money habits to smart ways to travel more for less. You’ll close the session with a vision board, a clear, tangible picture of the life and travels you’re building toward.
This 90 minute workshop is $25 per person (or $75 for all 3).

Missy Hartley

Missy’s yoga journey began in 2016, a pivotal year that would change her life. It wasn’t until she met her husband David that the magic of yoga truly clicked for her. He introduced her to the mesmerizing Anamaya Resort, nestled in the lush jungles of Costa Rica. As the sun set on her last day there, a fire ignited within her—she knew this was where she belonged. Determined to teach in that paradise, Missy and David immersed themselves in an intensive yoga teacher training at Anamaya, diving deeper into their shared passion for wellness.

Today, Missy’s life is a beautiful blend of travel, yoga, and adventure. She’s the proud fur mom of two playful cats and finds joy in hiking the rugged, picturesque mountains of Arizona. But she’s not just a yogi—Missy is also a Financial Assistant at Wealth Wellness, the dynamic firm she co-runs with David. She combines her deep understanding of wellness with financial savvy, guiding clients toward not just wealth, but holistic prosperity.

In her yoga practice, Missy’s mission is clear: to make yoga accessible to everyone. She shatters the myth that flexibility is a must, creating a welcoming space for students of all shapes, sizes, and abilities. Her classes are more than just a series of poses—they’re an empowering journey, especially for women seeking confidence and strength. Through her own story of self-discovery, Missy inspires her students to embrace their uniqueness, proving that yoga is as much about uplifting the soul as it is about strengthening the body. Whether on the mat or in life, she’s all about finding balance, joy, and transformation.

David Hartley

David Hartley is a seasoned financial advisor with over two decades of experience, proudly rooted in Michigan and a graduate of Michigan State University. After eight enriching years in Colorado, he now calls Arizona home. Beyond his professional expertise, David has a profound passion for yoga, which he integrates into his financial practice, creating a unique approach that fosters holistic well-being and mindful financial planning.

David’s journey into yoga began with his first teacher training at Lifetime Fitness, where he developed a strong foundation in the practice. Shortly after his training he went to Anamaya and experienced his full potential, and started manifesting the life he wanted. Returning to Anamaya for a second time was a profoundly meaningful experience for David. This time, he was accompanied by his new wife, Missy, celebrating their honeymoon at the very place where he had experienced such personal transformation. Their shared love for yoga and the serenity of Anamaya marked the beginning of a new chapter in their lives together. The transformative experience not only enriched his personal growth but also inspired him to intertwine the grounding principles of yoga with his financial practice.

David’s philosophy in both yoga and financial advising is rooted in the belief that true wealth goes beyond monetary success; it encompasses a balanced and fulfilled life. By integrating mindfulness and yoga principles into his financial practice, he empowers his clients to achieve clarity and purpose, aligning their financial goals with their personal values and well-being. David is honored to teach at Anamaya and to bring his teachings to the same place that gave him so much wisdom.

“Anamaya is an amazing retreat center up on a mountain overlooking the ocean. The Anamaya experience has it all ~ breathtaking views, outstanding staff, delicious food, and beautiful well planned accommodations. It is the perfect place to practice yoga, take part in excursions or simply relax. Everything is incredibly clean. Every single staff member was exceptional. The body work offered is incredible, and definitely world class. I will return!”
