Explore the magical terrain of Taos, New Mexico or Asheville, North Carolina .... powered up by excellent nutrition, revitalizing yoga, restorative massage, and relaxation...This is the unbeatable life-enriching experience, and vacation, all in one!

Our aim is for you to take home as a sense of renewed health and empowered self-perspective. And an improved know-how for enabling your body (and mind) to thrive with the right diet, exercise, and lifestyle, in your day-to-day life.

AWAKEN IN THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT

After a great night’s sleep, we start the morning together to savor another classic New Mexico sunrise. And, of course, with hot chai.

Then it’s time for your daily yoga class in the magical setting of the great outdoors!

Once we're limbered up for an adventure-packed day it’s time for a wonderful home-cooked breakfast, including of course a revitalizing smoothie that Billy will make for you personally.

After breakfast, we’re out the door to embark on an adventure into "the land of enchantment," exploring some of the most spectacular landscapes in the world.

A big part of the program is hiking - we organize the hikes to accommodate all levels of fitness.

The key to making this possible is there will be three trail guides enabling everyone to hike at their own pace. It’s creating a balance between making the hikes both fun and challenging. As always, we’ll maintain that objective when determining the length and difficulty of the hikes.

A large element of what makes each of the hikes special is how you’re sharing these experiences with other great people. The camaraderie with other adventurers that share similar values is a powerful part of the Infinity Retreat. We will also visit some historic sites to take in the special heritage of the area.

After the hike, we return home, with feelings of achievement. And of course, an increased sense of awe, inspired by the magical landscapes of northern New Mexico.

EVENING IN SERENITY

And the day is not over yet! How about some time in the hot tub before your coaching session? Or enjoy one of your two massages?! Each day there will be time for you to simply relax and enjoy life.

Next, it's time for dinner. You’ll be delighted by the delicious, highly nutritious meals that will be prepared for you every day by a private chef.

After dinner, you’ll enjoy a special group activity. This will include taking some time to share together the things that are important for optimizing our health in both mind and body.

There are some evenings during the week that we are especially excited about, but we don’t want to blow all the surprises! You can bet on them being both fun and magical - really magical. You'll see...

Then, at the end of the day, after having a final gander at the stars (which are amazing in the clear skies of Northern New Mexico), it’s bedtime to recharge for yet another day filled with the magic and adventures of the Infinity Retreats.

Yoga classes

Led by Lisa Varno (E-RYT 200, YACEP) who has ten years of experience leading yoga for all ages and ability levels. Modifications will be offered throughout the class as a means to encourage all expressions of practice. Lisa also sprinkles in elements of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction within her classes.

Massage

Massage combined with hiking creates a powerful synergy. The therapeutic value of massage is a big part of what enables the body to thrive with hiking the adventurous terrain of Northern New Mexico. And the combination of massage and yoga makes the body much more limber with otherwise stiff joints and muscles. Naturally, rest and relaxation of the mind is a goal for the specialized massage that we provide, as well.

Integrative Health Coaching

You will also get one-on-one coaching with Lisa, a Certified Integrative Health Coach trained at Duke Integrative Medicine and Brown University, and her expertise is in helping people improve their lives through behavioral change. What Lisa has to share is powerful, and she knows how to make it a lot of fun, too.

Food

The delicious, highly nutritious meals will be prepared for you every day by a private chef under Billy's guidance. All food served at Infinity Retreats is organic.

Sample Breakfast: oatmeal, berries, sprouted nuts & seeds, Billy's Infinity Greens smoothie, coffee & tea, Billy's Infinity Chai

Sample Lunch: hummus, avocado, greens, & sprouts on sprouted bread, Billy's Infinity Protein Bars, Billy's Infinity Keto Bars, Billy's Infinity Green Bars, Billy's sprouted almonds & seeds, apple or banana

LISA VARNO

Lisa Varno grew up in the Catskill Mountains of New York, which nurtured the creative and contemplative parts of herself from an early age. The deep love she found for both creativity and contemplation led her to center her life in music, yoga, and meditation. Lisa is a lifelong singer and pianist, and she earned a Bachelor of Music in Music Education from Gordon College and a Master of Music in Music Education from The Hartt School, University of Hartford. Lisa taught choral music and general music in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania public schools for over a decade and directed numerous choruses ranging in size from ten singers to 300. She is the founding director of the Martha’s Vineyard Children’s Chorus.

Lisa’s contemplative practice began during her childhood days of observing nature’s beauty during long car rides. She later explored the contemplative Quaker tradition and has experienced silent retreats at SSJE, an Episcopal monastery in Cambridge, MA and Karma Choling, a Shambala Buddhist Center in Barnet, VT. After several years of yoga practice, Lisa was moved to pursue a more in-depth study in order to share with her colleagues and community members. Her yoga teaching experience has ranged from private in-home classes to classes in studios, fitness centers, schools, businesses, retreat centers, and outdoors, with students ranging from pre-teens to seniors.

Lisa transitioned from public school teaching to offer music, yoga, and meditation classes on Martha’s Vineyard. In Vermont, she created a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction curriculum for participants at Confluence Behavioral Health, a wilderness therapy retreat center in Thetford, VT.

Location

Home base is the beautiful, magical, charming Blue Sky Retreat in the mountains outside of Taos, New Mexico.

Taos is a land of beauty and grace. Prepare for the awe-some!

How to get there (flights, airport transfers, buses, trains)

You'll be picked up at the Albuquerque Airport (ABQ) after which all transportation, food, yoga classes, massages (2), and accommodations are covered.

Transportation to daily hikes will be provided by Blue Sky Retreat via 15-passenger vans.

The idea is to bring what you need to optimize your comfort, bearing in mind that not packing too heavy is actually part of what preserves it.

Starting ground up…

Temperatures are likely to vary from mid-50's and 70's, depending on what hike we are doing and the time of day.

For fabric that is against skin we always choose natural materials like wool and cotton. We're not huge fans of polyester for a number of reasons, no matter how fast it dries. We strongly recommend light colored fabrics especially in the warmer months.

Plain and simple...

Our intention is for you to gain something special from your Infinity Retreat experience; something that lasts, including a renewed sense of mind-body health with an empowered self-perspective. It's true that living a truly superior lifestyle creates a quality of life for which no one has ever regretted spending the time and effort. So think of the Infinity Retreat as an investment in yourself. And we can promise you this - you will gain something of extraordinary value that will enrich your life on a long-term basis.
