Catarina Lacayo Director It´s Yoga Nica I have the best job in the world I’ve been blessed with traveling the world in order to teach people yoga.

read moreRock Your Yoga On Plant Based Foods
Traditional diets consist mainly of raw plant based foods and weeds. A healthy diet is a diet with organic whole food like vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, grains and berries.

If you are on a spiritual path you would want to eat more of the raw plant based foods. You would want to take care of your body temple, activate your light and the most...

Danielle Prohom Olson is a yoga instructor/filmaker and blogger. She has studied the “new sutras” and she gives us some observations on the book, Threads Of Yoga, by Mattew Remski, along with an interview with the author. The Yoga Sutras was written several thousands of years ago.

The body is our temple, the vehicle in which we transcend our...

read moreHow Do You Want To Yoga Your Life?
Yoga produces creativity I am a creator. When the creation is manifested and established my mind starts to come up with new ideas. Most of the time I can not keep up the pace but now and again something important rises (might turn in to an obsession) that slows me down. Like the idea I had to move to Nicaragua and provide the “yoga starving” Nicaraguans with some real Yoga. This creator mood has been” me” since I was a child, and it is bigger than me and even though it seems crazy I do what I have to do to find a...

Crazy Easter – Getaway We decided to visit our friends at Equilibrio Yoga & Art Retreat this Easter holiday on our way to Ostional. Easter holiday or “holiweek” in Nicaragua is crazy. The biggest and baddest holiday in the year when the national police is working around the clock to prevent people from killing them selves or each other. All Nicaraguans go to the beach and our plan was to escape the crowd with a first stop at Tolla and then continue to Ostional. We manage to make it safely in the insane traffic until the...
