The Sabanero Way
I first found El Sabanero in 2019. I arrived to teach and left with so many new friendships and experienced a different way of life, Pura Vida! This place is like no other. As soon as you step foot into the retreat center, time will slow down, you’ll be greeted by friendly smiles and furry friends. We connect with the universal force and go with the flow. This place is purely magic and I’m so excited to return and share this space with you. A space where I have healed and loved so much.

SOME OF OUR LOVELY YOGIS THAT EXPERIENCED OUR RETREATS
@monkeyslick
I found Rogue Retreats and Crystal on a random late-night Google search. I had no idea who Crystal was nor did I have any context about previous retreats. Whether it was because the stars aligned or just the universe making its move, I felt compelled to sign up and take that leap of faith. As soon as I signed up, Crystal sent a message and gave me a ring. It meant so much to me that she reached out, reinforcing her values and expectations of herself and the retreat. As soon as I arrived, I felt an instant connection to Crystal and my purpose for being there. It’s not every day you meet someone and just know you’ll be in good hands. The theme of the retreat was to recharge and reconnect and needless to say, it was exactly that and then some. I personally explored a lot about the idea of pausing and what it means to explore the space between thoughts and actions. Coming from NYC, it’s not easy to accept that space, that pause, and going to the retreat allowed me the mental capacity to truly wonder. The format of the retreat was super flexible which I enjoyed a lot – it was very much at your own discretion and pace to do whatever you please. I appreciated the yoga classes, really enjoyed Dharma yoga, and found the Full Moon ceremony cathartic.
I would totally recommend – truly, won’t regret it one bit! I went in knowing no one and left connected to so many folks in and outside of the retreat. Crystal is a joy and honestly, grateful to have her in my spiritual circle of goodness.
