Wild Heart Yoga

I had the privilege of attending the 2025 Costa Rica retreat, and it was a beautiful and transformative experience! We all have busy schedules and everyday life things, and it can be hard to put ourselves first but this retreat reminded me that self-care is important for both our minds and our bodies. The villa and scenery in Costa Rica are a beautiful backdrop for practicing yoga, and participating in meditation, sound baths, and workshops that prioritize looking inward for inspiration and clarity. Add a few natural experiences of horseback riding on the beach and sailing the ocean on a catamaran; and my mind found its happy place on this relaxing adventure. Marybeth, Dr. Alyse and Snowy put together a wonderful program that had something for each person on the retreat. It was so nice connecting with a like-minded group of people who although different, share many of the same life experiences and provided insight and shared stories to help each other navigate our individual journeys. Also, a huge shout out to our personal chef who spoiled us and made the most wonderful meals for our group! I plan to attend another retreat in the future. If you are on the fence, I highly recommend saying yes to yourself and treat yourself to a retreat with Wild Heart Yoga!

YTT Lin Costa Rica summer of 2025 was rigorous, amazing and transformative. It was extremely well organized and took place in a stunning resort on top of a mountain with superb service, meals, views, and spa services. Marybeth was a radiant and extremely dedicated teacher through the entire three weeks. The course was well planned with a variety of different educational strategies and activities. I never knew there was so much to learn about yoga !! I feel extremely well prepared to teach and so so unbelievably grateful for having had this incredible experience with her as my teacher, and ten other beautiful souls cheering me on in those intensive three weeks! Thank you, thank you!!!

I was lucky enough to attend the 200 hour YTT with Marybeth and Trish at Anamaya Resort this summer. How to sum up the most incredible experience? Marybeth and Trish created such a beautiful, safe and supportive environment. All of us came to the training from different places, and had different backgrounds, yet Marybeth and Trish brought us all together, and delivered both fantastic training and a deeply heart felt experience. I found so many of the experiences provided to be deeply valuable, powerful, and thought provoking - feelings that will stay in my heart for life. Every aspect of the training was well thought out, and had an excellent balance of the physical practice of yoga, and the rich history and philosophy. We were also given many opportunities to express ourselves creatively, emotionally, and intellectually in a safe space with no judgment. Learning was often discussion based, where all thoughts and opinions felt valid and taken into consideration - we were all teachers from the beginning! It wasn’t all serious either - we all had so much fun together, often laughing til we cried to help balance out what is a quite intensive training process. I feel truly blessed to have been able to attend Marybeth’s training - I learned so much from her and Trish, and left not only with new knowledge but also feeling motivated, refreshed, and transformed. Thank you, thank you, thank you - you have turned a group of strangers into a beautiful family in a short three weeks. To anyone considering YTT, training, classes, or experiences provided by Marybeth, I can highly recommend her without hesitation 💛✨

Costa Rica cracked me wide open like a coconut 🥥🌴 When I arrived six days ago, I didn’t know what to expect. I carried quiet doubts, resistance, and the weight of needing to stay in control. But slowly, through stillness, movement, laughter, and the company of extraordinary women, something began to shift. This land, this retreat, and the sacred space created by Wild Heart Yoga reminded me how to surrender. Each day peeled back another layer of fear, of tension, of stories I’d been holding onto for far too long. Time here didn’t seem to exist, I slept so soundly and received the rest I have been needing for so long . Tonight, during our closing sound bath ceremony, something unexpected happened I felt myself crack wide open and Waves of emotion rose and released . I can’t describe the feeling because I have never felt this before but it was powerful and beautiful! A sense of calmness and peacefulness came over me with everything I didn’t even realize I was carrying. This was pure peace from giving in and letting go ! I leave Costa Rica tomorrow with a heart full of gratitude for the people who held so much space for me & for the beautiful women who became sisters, and for this journey that I didn’t know I needed as much as I did. Something inside me has shifted, softened, and come home. I leave renewed and reshaped into the version of me I have missed for a very long time ! “I found what I was looking for , she is me” Pura vida~ Thank you Wild Heart Yoga for helping me remember who I am. I will never forget this journey with all of you ! Bex

Signing up for the 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training with Marybeth is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself. Marybeth leads with love, passion, and intention. The cues she uses in yoga classes are so thoughtful and positive. She incorporates fun additions to her yoga classes like oils, meditation, poems, quotes, mantras, sound baths, oracle cards, etc and it cultivates the most amazing yogic atmosphere. She offers helpful feedback to help grow as a future yoga teacher and provides many opportunities to practice teach and role play real life scenarios. I truly felt that Marybeth cares for me as an individual and wants to see everyone succeed. I appreciate that Wild Heart embraces yoga as so much more than a physical practice. Marybeth shares her wisdom on yogic philosophy, lifestyle, history, methodology, anatomy, etc! So, so extremely grateful for this magical experience!

This is a review and also a love letter <3 I did a 200 hr yoga teacher training with Marybeth and Trish. It was far more beneficial than I could have imagined in all ways. As someone that has been practicing yoga regularly for about 6 years and a stay at home mom for about 5, I arrived to the training with an expectation of learning how to teach a yoga class and find the confidence in myself to do so. Flying to Costa Rica and studying with a bunch of strangers with the knowledge that I was going to need to speak publicly eventually felt wildly out of my comfort zone. Nevertheless I have had this calling for a while now so I took the leap and I am forever grateful that I did. Upon arriving to beautiful Anamaya Marybeth and Trish greeted our little group that shuttled in from Liberia as if we were already close friends. What I found in the 3 weeks at Anamaya was immense spiritual growth, family, healing I didn’t even know I still needed and unwavering trust for myself, the process and the beautiful people that surround me and yes I learned how to teach a yoga class although that felt like the tip of the iceberg. As Marybeth says “the well is deep”. I haven’t signed up with a studio YET and have not taught outside of family and friends YET but what I took away from this journey that we went on together was so much more than what I expected my end goal to be. During this journey we all laughed together, cried together, combusted, healed and walked away inspired, with tethered hearts. There is no doubt in my mind we were all brought together for a reason. I could talk more about our personal experiences but I have a feeling that every single one of Marybeth’s trainings are uniquely beautiful in their own way. Her and Trish are not pumping out yoga instructors like a boot camp, they’re guiding yoga teachers in the discovery of their truest selves and to teach from authenticity. They will meet you where you are and love you for who you are. If you are on the edge of deciding if you want to do a teacher training or if these are the right teachers for you let this be your sign to go for it. You will be in great hands and you won’t regret it.

Wild Heart Yoga is my little pocket of calm on Bee Caves. I walk in carrying the day, and within five minutes the noise drops. Jenna is my go-to. Her sequencing is thoughtful, steady, and kind to bodies that have lived a little. She offers clear cues and real options, so you can work or soften without feeling called out. I leave class taller, lighter, and a better human to come home to. The studio itself feels good. Clean, welcoming, gently warm, with music that supports the room instead of stealing the show. Booking is easy, parking is simple, and when the weather is pretty they take advantage of it. They host special classes and community events that make it feel like more than a gym calendar. Popular times fill, so I plan ahead. From a Westlake mom who has tried a lot of studios, this one has heart.

My best friend invited me to a Wild Heart Yoga retreat and I said yes mainly to hang out with her, but I ended up having the most magical and spiritual experience! I can honestly say that Marybeth and Jenna are two of the BEST teachers I've had the honor to do yoga with. I can't go back to "normal" yoga! :) They had a combination of different movements that were powerful and gentle. They are both educated on the practice of yoga and are caring. Dr. Alyse Snyder was the other wonderful part of the team (doctor of eastern and integrative) medicine and is equally as generous and inspiring. Book with her for acupuncture and coaching if you’re in Austin, TX! She taught us great information about health and the conversation could have gone on for hours. It was an authentic experience that filled my heart and inspired me. If you're feeling stressed in life more often than not, or looking for a unique experience, I recommend doing yoga here and if possible treating yourself to a retreat. It was perfect for a mindset reset! I have shared this with my closest friends so they can have the opportunity to enjoy this experience, too. :) Check out the photos and details on the website, you get what you see and much more.
