WHO IS THIS
RETREAT FOR?
Whether you crave movement, stillness, connection, or adventure, TIDES holds the perfect balance. Here, you’re invited to reconnect—to your breath, your body, your soul, and a supportive community that will uplift and inspire you.
Come as you are, and leave feeling deeply refreshed—mind, body, and spirit—carrying with you the lasting rhythm of the ocean’s ebb and flow
No prior yoga experience is necessary—just a willingness to listen inward.
These waters—
tides, currents, swells
remind me of the ebb and flow,
the dance of effort and ease
that lives in daily life.
We are not separate from it,
not different from the ocean’s rhythm.
It’s how we move with the tides,
how we meet each season of life—
knowing when to lean into effort,
and when to soften into stillness.
The ocean, like yoga,
has been a great teacher—
guiding me through the meanders,
teaching me to trust
the ebb and the flow.
This is how TIDES was born
my Summer 2026 oceanfront yoga retreat in El Salvador.
A gathering to honor nature’s rhythms,
to practice in tune with the sea,
and to remember the wisdom of ebb + flow
within ourselves.

FAQs
Flowing Into the Practice:
Do I need to be an expert in yoga or meditation?
Not at all! TIDES welcomes all levels. There are no “levels” here—just an invitation to move with the rhythm of your own body, breathe deeply, and flow alongside a supportive community.
Your Own Current:
Do I need to register with someone?
Short answer: No.
Long answer: Whether you arrive solo or with a loved one, TIDES is designed to help you find your own flow. Many guests arrive alone and leave having made lifelong friends. Others bring family or friends, sharing in the rhythms of the retreat. Either way, you’ll be guided to move with presence, ease, and connection.
Community & Connection:

Yes! The TIDES retreat is open to all, inviting a diverse, heart-centered community to share in the experience.

Is it safe to travel to El Salvador?

Upon arrival at San Salvador Airport (SAL), a private shuttle will bring you directly to AntiResort (75–90 minute scenic drive). With 24/7 security at the resort, you can settle into the gentle ebb and flow of retreat life with ease.

Sarah Pascual
Yoga Teacher & Embodiment Coach
With over 15 years of guiding retreats near and far, I create spaces where the body can soften, the heart can open, and the soul can breathe deeply. Each retreat is woven with a balance of deep, introspective practices and soul-led joy, always infused with the rhythm of the ocean. What began as my own yearning to travel and explore has blossomed into a passion for leading others on journeys of transformation. These retreats are more than a getaway—they are a return home to yourself, leaving a lasting ripple of renewal and inspiration long after you return to shore.
