Billy is based in Newport Beach, CA and will be joining us for our Costa Rica Restorative Retreat Experience.

Billy states:

My experience as a yoga teacher, breathworker, and sound practitioner gives me a unique perspective on how to make these practices relatable and experiential.  I have been practicing yoga since 2013 and have been teaching vinyasa, gentle and restorative yoga since 2017.  

Sound plays a crucial role in a more meditative practice as the combination of yoga and sound makes it easier to relax the mind and find comfort in stillness.  I work with instruments like the gong, handpan, didgeridoo, tuning forks, bowls, and mantras to evoke new sensations, mental experiences, and relaxation.

Yogic breathing practices play a powerful role in my life and over the last few years, I have dedicated myself to mastering my breath.  As a didgeridoo player, I can feel the transformative power of proper breathing and pranayama.  Breathwork has a way of bypassing the mind and connecting me directly to my source.

I have spent 6 months working with an authorized Buddhist meditation teacher, Cayce Howe and I’ve practiced at Karme Choling, a Shambala Meditation Center in Vermont.  I love sharing the practices of Sound, Yoga, and Breathwork.  My goal is to mix the three together so that a powerful personal practice can be born.

Eve Kerwin, White Buffalo Woman

Based in Stamford, CT

Eve is renowned throughout the country and the world as White Buffalo Woman.

She is an accomplished Shamanic Healer and Channel, bringing her clients profound messages of inspiration and guidance, working with each individual's spiritual, mental, emotional and physical bodies.

In 1991, Eve experienced a series of personal challenges, which prompted her inward search. During a period of deep meditation and intense drumming, the divine being White Buffalo Woman made her presence known, and has since guided and orchestrated her inspirational work for the benefit of humanity. In addition, Eve's spiritual gifts enable her to connect to the energies of the Archangels, exalted masters and guides, and at times to the Higher Self or Inner Child of the client.

Eve has also co-written a book - “The Awakening: The Life & Work of Eve Kerwin, White Buffalo Woman” by Eve Kerwin with Ernie Pugliese.
