Untamed Living. Radical Belonging.

The greatest rebellion is living a life that is truly your own.

We gather in some of the world’s most epic places to practice what matters most: being human—with presence, curiosity, adventure, generosity, and the joy of belonging.

The Rebel Philosophy

We embrace joy as an act of rebellion and rebel against anything that asks us to become less than who we are.

Rebel exists because when we return to ourselves, we discover how deeply we belong to one another.

Community reminds us of our shared humanity—and what becomes possible when we walk together.

Yoga as a Way of Living

We refuse to accept a version of yoga that begins and ends on a mat

At Rebel, yoga is lived through experiences that remind us how to feel awe again, through the choices we make every day.

Radical Belonging

Belonging begins within — when we uncover our own gifts and embrace even our shadow self.

Home is not something granted by others. It is the relationship between us and the land beneath our feet.

Belonging is not a destination — it is a living practice, and a doorway to healing and transformation.

Radical Optimism

Radical Optimism is not blind positivity. It is defiance — the rebellious act of seeing possibility even when facing challenge. It is trust in our own resilience and inner wisdom — especially when things don’t go as planned.

About

Guided by Brisa & Marcela

Mother, wife, world traveler and unapologetic lover of people. Brisa has sailed the Atlantic, hiked remote landscapes and carried her mat to the corners of the map, always coming home to the same truth.

True power lives in connection and presence. Her retreats are an invitation to practice both, in places that take your breath away and give it back slower. She believes belonging is something we build, never something we wait to be granted.
