Body & Vibe Over 45
November 21-28
with Kristina Canizares and Kerri Kresinski
At Casa Chango in Puerto Escondido, Mexico
Spend a WEEK in PARADISE with new friends, the beach, delicious, fresh, local food, and get into your body in all the juicy ways!
Gen X women are redefining what it means to be femme and over 45. We are not content to fade in the scaffolding of the world, silently holding it all together while our bodies and voices cease to be of interest to a youth-obsessed world. Fuck that!
The availability of MRT is just one part of an emerging body of research showing how much exercise, diet, and attitude can shift our quality of life as menopause rampages through our bodies. We still have choices, agency, and so much power. Not to diminish the challenges we face, we can support ourselves and each other to fight back against any intimations of obsolescence.
Join Kerri and Kristina, two lifelong performers and physical artists with many decades of coaching experience in an exploration of tools and tactics for marching into middle age with strength, grace, and humor.
This retreat will have 2 daily classes -
Morning sessions from Kristina:
Not Today Death - Strategies for healthy exercise in peri- and menopausal bodies. How do we need to shift our approach to working out when our bodies are in constant flux? What are the most important tools in our toolbox to fight muscle and bone density loss? What if aesthetics ceases to be as important to the way that we work out and we are freed up to work on feeling fantastic?
Afternoon sessions with Kerri:
Pathways of Movement & Expression - We will tune into our feeling bodies, and work with tools to explore how to listen and let our bodies guide us. Each class is an exploration of curiosity and how to follow somatic, emotional, and experiential prompts to discover how movement can be healing and revealing. This class includes writing, sharing, and observing in an inclusive, non-judgmental setting. We are invited to support ourselves and each other to celebrate our creative process and discover the confidence to be big and bold!
Special evening session
When you walk your grown ass into a room, what do you want people to see? When we are young our beauty and youth are our currency, but as that currency fades we have a choice. Either we mourn its passing and fight to get it back or we imagine all the other things that we can be now that we are free of that pressure. This workshop brainstorms all the parts of ourselves that we want to cultivate in this phase of our life and offers exercises to embody those archetypes and keep turning heads with our fierce, unapologetic power.
When you aren't practicing, you'll be eating amazing, healthy food, lounging at the pool, swimming in the ocean, reading in hammocks, and enjoying being in nature. Get ready to move, play, breathe, feel, stretch, and express. At Casa Changoyou are invited to shine and be yourself!
