Layna is a 500hr RYT practitioner. For 8 years she has led all forms of yoga from Advanced asana, including Vinyasa and Ashtanga to rejuvenating slow flow, restorative and yin sessions. Being diverse in her practice she encompasses the yin and yang of the practice. The stillness and the dynamisms. With a balance of physical strength and flexibility aligned with the stillness and bliss within the mind and self. She has studied techniques of this connection throughout Central America, South America, India and Sri Lanka. With an integration of breath, asana, mediation, chi, wisdom and devotion, yoga dissolves into a way of life rather than a practice.  Layna has also been a surfer her whole life. Growing up on the shores of Florida, whether freediving, paddling or riding waves everyday she finds sea time. Thus dubbing the name Sea Reina, meaning sea queen or mermaid. She has traveled far and wide around the world chasing waves and a deeper connection with the ocean, locals and colorful culture from sea to sea. These retreats do not have a single goal of just surfing or yoga, they strive in all angles to connect, support and uplift local cultures, economy and environmental stewardship. This passion for surfing parallels with the sacred yoga practice creating this coexistence and synchronism within. A true embodiment of Zen with her partner Tony embodying the Hang Ten as they both guide you through each journey.
