Balance in a Busy World – Missy & David Hartley

Balance in a Busy World: Strength & Surrender Within.

 

If you’ve been pushing to keep up with life’s demands – always doing, rarely pausing – this retreat is your invitation to reset.

 

In the stunning beauty of Costa Rica, Missy and David will guide you back to balance through daily yoga, mindful practices, and space to simply be.

 

You’ll reconnect with your body’s wisdom, cultivate inner harmony, and rediscover the dance between strength and surrender. More than just a retreat, this is a chance to recharge your spirit, deepen your connection to yourself and others, and return home with clarity, resilience, and a renewed sense of balance.

“Anamaya is such a spectacular experience!! Our entire group bonded beautifully throughout our week & practice. 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

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!”
