Vibe & Thrive Retreat

Photographer, director and editor for branded content.

Imagine an open-air space full of electric people listening to upbeat music while doing yoga poses, primal and hip-hop movements. This is Buti Yoga! I had never heard nor seen a Buti Yoga class before documenting this retreat, and wow, I was in for a treat! Kayla Vangelder and Nicole Wellbeloved hosted the Vibe & Thrive retreat at Isla Verde in Santa Cruz La Laguna, Guatemala. The group they brought was full of vibrant energy, filling the space with positivity and a big appetite for high-intensity workouts.

The retreat focused on different types of exercises such as Buti Yoga, Spinning, and pilates! Kayla and Nicole hired me to document one full day of their retreat to capture their tribe's high-vibe energy of their tribe and showcase the different types of movement classes. They gave me a headset to join in on the music's fun, and off I went!

These photos emulate the fun exhibited in this space and the bad-ass instructors that lead the retreat. The content is on Wellbeloved Wellness Facebook and Instagram page and their personal social media profiles and future marketing collateral to advertise their brand and upcoming retreats.
