Ramsay discovered the healing powers of natural medicine as a teenager, when confronted with an autoimmune disorder known as Crohn’s disease, which led him to begin a journey of self-discovery and healing. He began immersing himself in “mind and body”. This further evolved into energy medicine, then ultimately Daoist Meridian Yoga known as Qi (chi) Gong. He believes that understanding the interrelationship of how movement influences an inner calm will provide a path to optimal health. Ramsay has been teaching energy medicine for over 20 years. Ramsay guides transformations, retreats, and teacher trainings. Follow him at @ramsaymethod and www.earthlifebalance.com

Ramsay’s Teachings: 

(Morning) Solar Warrior (Grounding): 5 energy movements done in the sun to ground and charge the mind and body

Vibrational Breathing: A guided journey through the energy systems with humming vibration healing breathwork

Qi Gong Intro: Gateway to energy anatomy and 3 part series with Part 1 : turning on the chi body and energy awareness, Part 2: Flowing and moving the chi, Part 3: sealing the practice and closing

The Awakening: 8 detailed movements to awaken the chi – 45-60 min

Daily Morning Mysore Practice: We will gather for morning meditation and Yoga asana practice.

Familiarity with the Primary Series and comfort practicing in a self-led environment is recommended. 6.00AM through 9.00AM.

Join Jenni Fox & Paul Gould for a Guided Evolutionary Yoga Retreat

January 30th – February 6th, 2021

Enjoy fun, spirited morning practices focusing on functional strength and mobility. Our focus is on developing life-long, life-enhancing habits with two sets of skilled hands and eyes to help you stay vital and connected to your heart and body.  Afternoon practices include Restorative Yoga, Meditation and Inner Journey practices.

These two popular and gifted teachers return to Maya Tulum Retreat & Spa for their 29th season welcoming both new and experienced students and teachers. Combining 40+ years of practicing and teaching, Jenni & Paul’s yoga continues to evolve, respecting your needs–whatever age–with intuition, knowledge, respect and intelligence in an atmosphere of compassionate and heart-felt support. Says one student (JK of California) “Jenni and Paul don’t force complicated poses on people whose bodies can’t do them. They take me where I can’t go myself, and it always feels appropriate, safe and still challenging for me.”

A message from Paul: “While we respect the many systems of yoga we have studied and practiced, we focus primarily on the student–who you are, where you are in your life, what you need. From there we focus on awareness of habit patterns, strength and proper movement mechanics. Physically we value working efficiently in healthy alignment, breathing fully, resting sufficiently and enjoying the process. We see these as hallmarks of intelligent yoga practice that help us move through life with energy and joy.”

A message from Jenni: “We believe flexibility comes from balanced strength. We explore and often create yoga postures based on classical asanas and how they mimic and incorporate everyday movements. Whether someone is new or rusty with their yoga or quite skilled you can love the feeling of athleticism that requires balancing, rotational action and extension –and a strong foundation and core. We often use a variety of tools including balls, foam rollers, bands, poles, massagers, anything that can help stimulate circulation and release and mobilize connective tissue. And most of all, if we’re not having fun and evolving to new possibilities, I don’t think we’ll keep doing it—or anything!”

These two are grateful for and bring to their teaching their eclectic background of studies including Iyengar®, Anusara®, Yoga Therapy, Zen Buddhist Meditation, the Nia ® Technique, Brad Bartenen’s elite training, Hakomi, RCS (Recreating the Self) methods, trauma therapy and their own ever- evolving Yoga practice.

A $395 deposit ($500 single) holds your space, refundable less a $100 cancellation fee until 70 days before departure when balance is due. Send your deposit made out to Jennifer Fox or Paul Gould, 7635 W. Zayante Road, Felton CA  95018 (In light of the COVID-19 situation all deposits will be fully refundable until July 1.

“We all have the ability to stay anchored with rough waters at sea. Trusting things will calm and savoring those moments before the next storm arrives. What we learn from each storm will determine the direction the boat is steered and the depth of peace and joy we are able to connect to in our lives. Through our experiences and how we react, this is one thing we have control over. Keep riding those waves, there is so much beauty in the unknown.” -Karen
