At Synergy Retreat Center in Uvita Costa Rica        

 

Join Debbie Dixon Life Coach, inspirational speaker, yoga teacher and Author of “The Path to Freedom Your guide to living the life of your dreams” on this incredible Yogic Adventure!

Debbie is an avid yogi who stumbled into her first yoga class in 1997. Having studied and taught yogic philosophy for many years before being formally introduced to the asana, taking her studies to the mat gave her the opportunity to experience with her own body, mind and spirit, the miracles this practice is capable of creating in ones’ life. Her journey into asana began with Ashtanga Yoga and eventually her passion expanded into Hatha, Kundalini and Yin yoga. Nine years ago she taught her first yoga class and shortly after she opened (Seven Hot Yoga) a studio/community she owned and ran for over four years.  

She Has been holding “Realizing your Dreams” workshops and seminars for over 12 years now inspiring, motivating people to step outside of their comfort zones and into a life filled with freedom, prosperity, joy, happiness and infinite possibilities.

Now she guides people into their own self-discovery everyday as a yoga teacher. She also leads guided meditations and does yoga retreats all over the world. These retreats allow people to use yoga, meditation and her techniques to reconnect with their purpose and deepest desires, the essence of their being, while disconnecting from their everyday routines and finding themselves in a setting of paradise.  

The ultimate goal of these transformational retreats is to step out of the mundane cycle of waking up, working, going to bed and into a passion driven, purpose filled life where wishes are granted instantly, prayers are answered and love, light, peace and happiness exist in every breath.

I had an amazing time while at this retreat. I wasn’t ready to leave and I feel like I connected with everyone on some level. It was an amazing experience. Thank you Debbie for everything, you are simply amazing!

Andrea

Debbie,
What an amazing weekend at the Abundance and Prosperity retreat! The location you choose could not have been more perfect for us to explore our dreams, and that we did! The work we all did together as a group, by ourselves, and one on one with you definitely left me with a plan to realize my dreams. I left the weekend, with a sense of confidence, and an understanding of why I do the things I do, and how to change it. You are a truly amazing teacher and I am so grateful you have chosen to share your gifts. I can’t wait for the next retreat!

Darryl

I was so impressed by the content and level of depth that we explored in such a short time at Realizing Your Dreams. Debbie’s expertise was invaluable and I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone who is looking to make positive changes in their life.

Natalie

We are all cut from the same cloth, all here to help each other. I thank you as well for helping to live from my heart by your example. I now extend love to everyone I meet. Even when I am angry at them. For now I understand that maintaining anger towards another is like drinking the poison I intended for them. I have choice and choose to just love them instead.

Keep spreading your light!!

Jason

I landed my dream job!!! I work as a building engineer for the Columbia center!! With the tools I learned from this group I have made it through some hard times! THANK YOU DEBBIE!!!!!!!!

Patrick

I know! This path to my new life has been so exciting! It’s almost happening faster than I can keep up with. So much power in Realizing your dreams and believing in yourself! Thank you Debbie you have helped so much!

Cindy

Thank you for your guidance it has meant A LOT to me. You truly are an inspiration to so many people, including me. We are so blessed that you will have an outlet through your studio and your workshops to pass on the mental and physical clarity that has influenced you. I plan on sweeping all of my insecurities and excuses out of my way and allowing myself to dedicate my soul to your life transforming processes! thanks again!

Amy

I can feel it! I would love to come to one of your realizing your dreams workshops. This book is exactly what I need right now and its just so inspiring.

Robin

Debbie,
I wanted to tell you, once again, how much I loved the workshop. It was the exact message I need at this time. My coworker, ******, recommended it to me. She currently does hot yoga at your studio. I am so happy that she gave me the information about this work shop. I could go on and on, but instead, I want to wrap this up, so I can do some reflection on today’s points.

You mentioned that you took today’s topics from a weekend-long event. Do you do the weekend event?
If so, when are you doing your next one?

You have a gift in this work. Thank you for sharing it!

Wendi

If you are thinking of joining Debbie in Costa Rica for the 2nd Annual Realizing your Dreams Retreat at Blue Spirit, don’t hesitate, you won’t be disappointed! This was my first time to Costa Rica and I didn’t know what to anticipate. I only was sure that traveling abroad with our two amazing hostesses and a group of like minded souls would be an adventure.

The accommodations leave nothing to be desired…Blue Spirit gifts you with stunning views, comfortable quarters and delicious, healthy meals. There are so many unique little niches to discover via trails and walkways, a great space for doing self exploration! There is also a lovely pool and amazing spa services available. All located on a near deserted beach and a short walk from the town of Nosara where you will find lots of shops and outdoor dining. The locals are very kind and relaxed and it’s easy to see why their mantra is Pure Vida. There is also the option to go on day excursions like horseback riding at sunset, visiting the animal refuge, zip lining and surfing.
If I wasn’t going to be staying home with a new addition to my family during the upcoming trip dates, I would readily sign up. I’m
looking forward to the 3rd annual trip!

Shauna

What a beautiful day – the sun is shining, birds singing, and life is transforming and growing at a rapid pace. Time is moving faster! So
fast, that important, noteworthy, actions or potential actions could be missed and opportunities lost. That being said, I want you to know that I appreciate the positive impact you had on our lives and how your life-changing philosophy influenced us and the way we live.

This is Chris now 🙂 I hope you are well. Mike and I already miss you, even though we haven’t really left yet. We talk about some of the things we learned from you everyday. You have had a tremendous impact on our lives and I want to thank you. I will be there to help if you decide to do the recording on Sunday or Monday so we can chat then too 🙂 Have a beautiful week and see you soon.

Mike & Chris

I was not sure what to expect when I attended. I thought it might be a networking affair.It was much more because it was a learning experience. There were definite training tools to use in everyday life and also to be able to show others how to be happy. I thought Debbie ran an excellent workshop that was comfortable, informal and well organized. I was impressed and transformed!
