Why you should Join Margi on retreat
“On the second morning, Margi led us in sun salutations to the rising sun in the land where yoga was invented. The Lodhi Gardens, one of Dehli’s Central Parks, was filled with Indian yogis. A group behind us was in a pose that looked like a seated, one-legged happy baby. They looked like they were smelling their feet. Margi joined in, but not until a nonverbal communication went down between Margi and their teacher and she knew that he knew that copying poses was the highest form of flattery. Margi told us to smell our feet, then she said, “No, let’s talk on our phones, into our soles/souls.” 😀
Later, Margi quoted Patanjali, an ancient Indian philosopher who said, “Let go of future suffering.” I’m not typically woo-woo, but every day after, I thought about letting go of future suffering. “

“When Margi holds the space I feel literally buoyant and engaged. She is remarkably present and draws from the essence of each moment as invitation to enjoy and find relevance on and off the yoga mat. Margi sees the world in metaphor and is adept at sharing her poetic vision as we sit in stillness or ride through flowing practice. One moment her smile and twinkling eyes beam and the next she leads us into deep reverie. Her sequences have a simplicity that embody a progressive, deliberate logic and feel wonderful. Her cueing is rich but not verbose. All this in the amazingly beautiful, remote beach setting at Playa Viva with pulsating, rhythmic surf, exquisite, super delicious, fresh food and caring warmth of Mexican hospitality. ”
