"The retreat was wonderful. Just what I needed to refresh and reset. Lance and Amber were wonderful hosts who always ensured that each of us had everything we needed. The yoga was challenging but not overly difficult and I left with new knowledge and ways to deepen my personal practice. The location was amazing-beautiful views...made hiking each day memorable! Amber and Lance have really created a wonderful experience here for everyone."

Meet The Teachers
Terri Speck
With a unique Western Medicine background and a devoted student of the Iyengar yoga lineage as taught by Rodney Yee, Terri is uniquely able to bridge the gap between West and East. She imbues her practices with grounded science while gently guiding students to open a deeper connection within themselves.
Rich Kreig
Rich's journey into the world of yoga began with his meditation practice, which he developed to find balance amidst the demands of a busy professional career while raising a growing family. As he deepened his practice, he experienced the transformative power of yoga (for him a major career pivot) which ultimately inspired him to share its profound effects with others.
I cannot possibly say enough good things about Vita Pura Yoga. Their warm and gentle guidance has made her a trusted source for me to help navigate not only the world of yoga but the journey of life itself."
