The Area
Dominical is a quaint beach town that boasts a combination of jungle-filled mountains and ocean known for year round surfing and sunshine. The nearby hills are a playground for wildlife, waterfalls and hiking plus the expansive beaches are the perfect escape for those looking to relax and unwind… or even SURF. Adi is currently living in Dominical and has hand picked a location for us where we can feel safe, connected and enjoy an expansive estate together.
The Private Villa
We’ve booked the most amazing private villa with 8 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, multiple yoga decks including a primary deck situated over a running river (with glass bottom sections!). At 275 meters (900 ft.) in elevation, the property has a regular breeze and inspiring panoramic views all year round. Toucans live in the trees around the house and a wide array of wildlife lives on the property including white face and howler monkeys. Come experience a personal yoga retreat in this quaint and beautiful villa nestled in the jungle.
The Teachers
Adi will bring out your inner power, get you focused, and have you feeling great in a snap. Her Flow classes are creative yet concise, so you’ll be able to follow along and modify as needed. Her 26 and Plus classes are hot, sweaty and fierce – just how we like ‘em!
Adi teaches Vinyasa Power Flow, Slow Flow, Hot 26, Sadhana, and is the creator of Hot 26 Plus (oh and occasionally teaches everything else like HIIT, Nidra and Yin). 1st place Southeast regional champion 2009 and 2015. And voted one of the Best Yoga Teachers in Mountain X Best of WNC 2017, 2018 and 2020/21.
You’ll notice Adi has a keen eye for form and alignment, and she teaches with concise cues to help you navigate each pose to the best of your ability.
While she encourages you to work hard and focus, the underlying message is always about listening to your body.
From Adi
I began my hot yoga practice in the year 2000 and it forever changed my life. I lost 40+ lbs, skipped grad school, became a Full Time yoga teacher and went on to open Hot Yoga Asheville in 2008 – on credit cards and the hope that “if you build it, they will come”. Well, I sure am glad I did!
Yoga continues to evolve for me personally. I love a good Hot 26 class when I need a “reality” check and centering. I love Power Flow when I want to get my energy out and feel strong! I love Yin when I need to be alone (even in a public class). And I love HIIT and Inferno when I need a good butt kicking! Over the years, meditation and breath-work have also become one of my passions. Asana (yoga poses) in its simplest form provides a means to check in with Self and reconnect to breath while clearing out stress and emotion.
For the first time, I am currently living away from HYA and a hot yoga studio but I keep up my practice solo. The pandemic was a super rough ride for yoga studio owners like me. After 15 years, it became time to pass the HYA daily task torch to my team, and focus on my family – 2 daughters and husband.
Though I may not be “on site”, I am in touch daily with the team and continue to make magic behind the scenes. I currently direct HYA from Costa Rica and love to hold retreats for our community there.
Retreats provide the ‘next level’ opportunity to integrate all the work we do in “normal life” and I love helping people make that transition. I look forward to meeting you!
(PS. If you have pregnancy or post-cesarean questions, please email me and I will do my best to advise.)
Get ready to be set free. Heather Parks, a Vinyasa Flow Instructor, will set your heart on fire. She is an easy-going soul who teaches with infectious passion. Heather has been teaching at Hot Yoga Asheville for 5 years, practicing yoga for 18 and has been certified since 2012. She was voted one of the best yoga teachers in WNC in 2021 and THE BEST #1 in 2022. Her flows are creative, playful & will leave you feeling strong and inspired.
From Heather
I’m a Chicago native who transplanted here in 2010 and as a mother of two boys & a chocolate lab…I have to have a lot of energy! Yoga is an endless practice & after all these years, continues to challenge me to grow.
Having once been told to ‘refrain from being physically active’ from years of herniated discs, I am beyond grateful for where I am today. Needless to say, yoga has changed my body physically, mentally & emotionally in ways that I could have never imagined.
My greatest hope is that others will learn to move, breathe in ways they never thought possible. Teaching Vinyasa allows me to be creative & crank the tunes! I will always encourage and inspire you to come out of your comfort zones & laugh while being mindful & safe. I want everyone who leaves my class to feel strong, open and alive!
