Ann Blackburn
I have been a student of yoga for 35 years, have had the honor of teaching for 12 years and been a Certified Yoga Therapist for 6 years. I weave yoga, somatics, breath science, and energy work through all my classes, private sessions, and retreats to support people in calming their nervous system and connecting with their inner strength. Students learn practices to find balance in every area of their lives. I love leading retreats and creating life changing experiences where people gain more than they could imagine. I am blessed to combine my love of travel, people, and yoga.

Dan Blackburn
As a lifelong learner of health and wellness, I became a massage therapist over 30 years ago with a focus on chronic and acute pain. After a career of Executive Leadership, I’ve returned to my roots becoming a certified yoga therapist, yoga teacher and coach. I’m blessed to share my love of leadership, coaching and the mind-body connection in all areas of life. Private sessions, group classes, writing, travel, coaching and facilitating relationship-building projects with organizations bring me great joy. I love supporting people’s growth through an amazing retreat experience that brings out the best in each of us.
