Rebel Retreats A note before you enter

Hi, I'm Brisa.

pronounced Bree‑za  •  she/her

I'm a mama of girls and a doggie, world traveler, lover of people, lifelong student, community builder, and creator of Rebel Yoga Retreats.

I feel most alive when I'm having fun with wonderful humans—moving my body, exploring nature, and finding adventure along the way.

I've spent much of my life following my love of people, new landscapes, and the experiences that change us.

Sailing across the Atlantic. Hiking through remote landscapes. Sitting in ceremony. Surfing on a beach in Panama. Snowboarding on a powder day. Galloping a horse along the sand. Gathering people around a table and dancing the night away. Or simply being completely present with the people I love.

Life has taught me that some of our greatest teachers aren't found in the places we expect.

I've found mine in nature, travel, adventure, and motherhood. In yoga and spiritual practice. In friendship and community. In profound love and loss. And in the moments that have asked me to question what I thought I knew.

My life is a practice of learning, unlearning, and becoming. And I'm still very much in it.

Always becoming.  This is some of my story.
