COURTNEY:

Courtney, is a well known gymnast with over 15 years of experience training, and 6 years as a coach. She always notes that she is an athlete first, before anything else in her life. She is most knowledgeable in her handstand practice, and liked for her improvised tricks and flips incorporating her infamous dance moves, such as the handstand twerk. At the heart of their craft lies a philosophy: to guide beginners along the path of self-discovery, where movement becomes a conduit for awakening the dormant potential within. From dancing, hand balancing, weightlifting, gymnastics and so much more, these two are a powerful combo, motivating so many around them! She is the perfect person to get you to the height of whatever your goal is.

Meet Your Host, Courtney, who has a love for teaching others how to improve their state of well being and reach their full potential through doing something that they love. Courtney found a passion for traveling as a young gymnast when she got to compete in different states as a competitive gymnast, which brought her all the way to a championship in Hawaii. This was her first time experiencing a tropical island like this, and had fallen in love with everything about the island, travel, trying new foods, and experiencing a different culture. From then on, she decided she wanted to travel to all kinds of different cultures, continents, and countries to really see the world for how beautiful it is. It is her mission to bring like minded individuals who are best-self focused women together from all over the world to connect and thrive as a community.

Let me introduce you to Viva Vibe retreats, founded by fellow life style enthusiast, Marisa West. Marisa is a personal trainer with over 8+ years of experience in her field. Not only that, but she also has her own high class meal prep service with her own expertise and knowledge of food and how it can really fuel an athletes body to achieve their goals physically and sustainably. She also has extensive knowledge when it comes to healing the body, including her physical therapy experience that really makes her stand out as the perfect person to travel with and learn from.

 

Courtney is an accountable person to travel with because she knows how to stay fit and on track while on vacation. Ever since she was a little girl in gymnastics, she has had the determination and motivation to be active wherever she goes. Currently, she works as a dancer on tour, and still manages to workout every single morning on her own before her day starts at work, 6 days a week. She really takes her time and care when hosting a retreat because she knows how important it is to stay on track with one’s fitness goals while  traveling. She is a great inspiration for those starting their fitness journey and for those who want to expand their range of movement, learn new skills, balance, and tricks while on vacation. Who wouldn’t want a vacation where you leave feeling better than when you arrived?

This retreat is focused on healthy choices, building community with new friends, learning new tricks and flow, and having relaxation time as well. You will feel completely immersed into a new lifestyle, with healthy choices, around uplifting friends that inspire you to be the best version of yourself. Join us, and don’t miss out on an opportunity of a lifetime.

 

The inspiration for Viva Vibe came from one of our founders, Marisa, during a summer adventure through Europe. She discovered how challenging it was to balance her fitness routine with the joy of exploring new cultures. This sparked a vision to create a space where women could embrace both wellness and wanderlust. Together with the unparalleled help of her partner Courtney, they have brought this vision to life, offering retreats that combine relaxation, adventure, and top-tier fitness masterclasses. Our mission is to provide a holistic escape, blending exotic locations with unique experiences guided by local experts.

 

Our retreats go beyond the basics when it comes to fitness and wellness. We incorporate a dynamic mix of activities, from the rhythmic movements of Capoeira and martial arts to the grace of dance, the power of strength training, and the focus of hand balancing techniques. Our programs are designed for all levels, aiming to deepen your understanding of your body and introduce you to new forms of movement. At Viva Vibe, we celebrate feminine embodiment in all its forms, helping you connect with your inner strength and discover the joy of being active in beautiful, nurturing environments.
