Nicaragua Retreat 2025
Where
Casa Colorados, Hacienda Iguana, Nicaragua
When
2/2/25 – 2/8/25
What
A 6 night/ 5 day transformation experience incorporating Pilates with Kevyn and her personal Teacher and Mentor Amy Alpers, Surfing, Breath Work, and Results Driven Holistic Coaching that will change your life!
Are you ready to gift yourself this deeply restorative time away with us in Nica?
Allow my team and I to help you choose the perfect room and answer any of your burning questions. It would be our absolute honor to provide you with this deeply restorative and wildly transformational experience in paradise.
The trip provided multiple opportunities to pause and reflect on my life and the perspectives that shape it. The experience gave me space to focus on my beliefs and values and to find gratitude in the unexpected.
I haven’t been this happy in a long time. I am renewed and reenergized. I am also trying to embrace and find ways to make my mental health number 1.
Retreat Focus
The focus of the retreat is to empower retreat participants and provide them with a space to completely:
–
–
RELAX: Literally everything is taken care of from the moment you step off the plane eliminating all necessary stress and decision fatigue imaginable.
–
RECHARGE AND REFILL YOUR CUP: The schedule is filled with opportunities to move & nurture your body, expand your heart & mind, connect with like-minded women, and empower your most authentic self. However, taking as much downtime as you need to relax by the pool, enjoy a walk on the beach or simply relax in your oceanfront oasis with a good book, is highly encouraged.
–
CENTER: Extremely thoughtful Pilates classes led by yours truly and my personal mentor, Amy Alpers, will focus not only on the brilliant and centering work that is Pilates but also on how to apply the principles intrinsically linked with this work to the experience of the retreat itself and to life in general. I have been studying with Amy since 1999 (over half of my life!!!) and it is the honor of a lifetime to be presenting this material with her by my side.
–
Amy brings multiple decades of teaching experience, a curiosity, intuitive genius, and true mastery of the work that has completely and utterly inspired me and my growth as a teacher for over 20 years. Basically, if you have ever worked with me and had a mind-blowing experience, at the root of that experience you have Amy to thank.
–
I have been teaching since 2003 and have dedicated myself to continuously learning, growing, and honing my teaching and coaching skills in a way that keeps my work interesting and fresh. With a schedule here in Manhattan that is filled to the brim, I am thrilled to be able to offer this work to a few new faces on this retreat, and hopefully to some familiar ones as well!
–
EMPOWER: We will dive deep into my signature AWOKEN & UNBROKEN™ Small Group and optional 1:1 Coaching Curriculum taking this experience to the next level. We go deep with thought-provoking topics and questions that encourage you to consider what has been getting in the way of you allowing you to embrace your wholeness and your fullest potential. A safe and empowering space in which you feel nurtured, can tell your story, process “negative” emotions, and learn to do so without making it all mean so much.
A Day on the Retreat
Picture yourself in paradise, in a luxurious beachfront home with epic views of world class surf and sunsets that will take your breath away.
You are surrounded by like-minded women, nourishing food, salty air, and peaceful vibes.
There is soft music playing in the background, you are caressed by the sound of laughter, tropical birds singing and new friends splish-splashing in the pool…
And now, with the scene set, imagine you also getting to indulge in:
A Sunrise Beach Walk
Morning Breath-work w/ Scotty
Pilates w/ myself AND Amy Alpers
Group Coaching and intention setting
A surf lesson
A delicious massage to soothe all there is to soothe
A Private Sunset Catamaran tour
Time to read and to unapologetically do nothing
Three delicious meals prepared by your own Private Chef
A deep re-connection with yourself, with nature, and with others
New friends for life
Profound restoration
Oh and did I mention AMY ALPERS?! 😉
After a full day of thoughtful movement, play, meaningful connection and conversation, with your body mind, and soul deeply nourished, you fall asleep held by the steady and constant rhythm of the ocean waves.
This unique and wildly transformational experience is limited to 10 women. If it is calling to you, know that it would be our absolute honor to have you.
I haven’t been this happy in a long time. I am renewed and reenergized.

Retreat Guide
My AWOKEN & UNBROKEN™ Mission
“I haven’t been this happy in a long time!”
q
Hands down this was the best testimonial that I received from one of the guests on my most recent AWOKEN & UNBROKEN™ Women’s Retreat in Costa Rica…
q
Not because being happy is the end game, but because most of us are so bogged down by the negative that we don’t make room for the positive.
q
By far the most powerful theme on my retreat and the one that fuels AWOKEN & UNBROKEN™’s underlying mission is to create a world in which we allow our wholeness and the mosaic of our emotional bodies to exist fully and freely…. Objectively and without judgment.
q
It’s a big mission, I know.
q
But I am up for the task.
q
In fact, I feel as if I was born for it and have spent my entire life up until this point honing the wisdom necessary to teach it well and from a place of true and deeply inspired integrity.
q
Do we learn to embody the human experience and love ourselves unconditionally on a 6-night/5-day retreat?
q
Well, no… but that would be nice, wouldn’t it???
q
It often takes a lifetime, but the work that I offer through AWOKEN & UNBROKEN™ will certainly help to set the path on fire so that the process is expedited in a safe, loving, and FUN environment.
q
Masterful coaching, coupled with the somatic healing and embodiment work that is Pilates (and that I have spent 27 years honing), taught with extraordinary precision, care and this fundamental intention as my guiding force, you will begin embodying your wholeness immediately by joining one of my AWOKEN & UNBROKEN™ Experiences.
q
What is the embodiment of your wholeness you might ask? Real talk, minus all of the new age mumbo jumbo, it is releasing all of the bull$h\+, and getting REALLY, real with yourself.
q
It is recognizing that you are a living, feeling person and that allowing and processing your emotions is the key to EVERYTHING.
q
It is allowing sadness, frustration, anger, fear, anxiety, and shame… and showing up anyway because you understand that feeling these feelings is natural, healthy, and HUMAN.
q
My friends, this work is powerful. And it will change your life if you let it.
q
Being happy is a product of true wholeness – it is no longer controlling your environment so that you don’t have to feel the other feels… it is surrender…
It is freedom.
q
I want that for you.
q
It would be a sincere honor to have you join us.
q
Love,
Kev

Scotty Craig
Retreat Chef | Life & Breathwork Coach
“I love nourishing others with my creative and flavorful healthy dishes.”
Scotty brings over 25 years of culinary expertise to these retreats. He was always been inspired to cook because he has loved food as early as he can remember. When he was 5 years old, he recalls eating fresh crab and lobster with his grandmother.
While he did grow up eating out in restaurants a lot he wanted to be able to enjoy food at home more. This way he could have control of the ingredients he was using and the ones he was avoiding.
While Scotty does eat all kinds of foods he is also certified in plant-based nutrition and has experimented with all types of Diets in order to find what works best for his body and encourages others to do the same.
“Everybody is unique and reacts to different types of food differently. I believe optimal health is attained by eating whole foods and avoiding processed foods as much as possible.”
Scotty loves to delve into understanding the healing powers of food and believes that the most powerful way to connect with nature and with health is through food. He works every day to better understand what seasonal foods most effectively nurture health for his clients and loves to generously share this knowledge with them.
He believes that the difference between living and THRIVING lies in adding a more mindful diet into their lifestyle.
Scotty is also a certified Breathwork Coach and will be offering morning and evening breathwork sessions on the retreat. Breathing is the foundation of life! His goal is to help others bring conscious thought into their breathing in order to improve the foundation for long-term lifestyle optimization.
Scotty is also in the transformation business and is a Certified Life Coach. Through his work, he helps others realize their full potential and change their lives through massive action.
“Life coaching has truly changed my life and I want to share this incredible journey in order to help others transform their lives as well.”
