ASRAEL is an Ayurvedic Practitioner, and Yoga Teacher based in the beautiful Cowichan Valley. She has been recently featured in the international documentary Taking Back The Years, alongside Deepak Chopra. Asrael is a graduate of New World Ayurveda, studying under Dr.Paul Dugliss, and is also on their faculty. Her training includes specialized intensives in Ayurvedic Energy Healing, Pancha Karma, Jyotish Astrology, and Ayurvedic Yoga. Asrael runs her own Ayurvedic Healing Practice, where she focuses on expanding consciousness; to create balance and bliss for all.

ROBERT's love of dance has allowed him to train and work globally with a plethora of experiences, people, body knowledge and personal wisdom received. From The Alvin Ailey Company in NYC to musicals, �The Lion King� in England to �Wicked� in Japan. With dance requiring optimal health he naturally connected with Yoga and became certified in Kundalini Yoga from the KRI Toronto Association and Yin & Restorative Yoga through Semperviva in Vancouver. He is also a Thai Healing Alliance Registered Thai Yoga Massage Therapist. A firm believer in self-care in leading a harmonious co-creative life with each other. Robert splits his time between Saddle Lake and Edmonton, Alberta.

Asrael and Robert meeting has been quite serendipitous. In 2009 they met in the paradise of Thailand at Baan Hom Samunphrai (a Thai Yoga Massage and Traditional Herbal Medicine School under the direction of Homprang Chaleekanha in Chiang Mai). Both Asrael and Robert began a naturally friendly supportive rapport discussing everyday life to health and wellness topics. It was a wondrous surprise to hear that they both lived in Western Canada and would be able to see each other again. They had many experiences practicing yoga, eating yummy meals, long chats over tea and basking in the beauty of the natural world. In the sharing of life goals and the natural law of expansion, a birthing to this collaborative Creative Wellness Retreat vision occurred.
