SmartFLOW at AMANSALA
April 7 - 13
TULUM, MEXICO
The Location
We are excited to announce that the final week of the SmartFLOW 200HR Training with Annie Carpenter will be held at Amansala resort in Tulum, Mexico. Amansala is an all-inclusive resort on Tulum’s beachfront. It is one of Tulum's first resorts and is known worldwide for its luxurious, eco-chic accommodations.
Set on one of the most beautiful stretches of beach in Tulum, all retreats include delicious, healthy food and an array of rooms types to suit every budget.
What makes Amansala the best beachfront hotel or place to stay on the Tulum beach? Each room embodies the essence of Tulum using smooth cement, Mayan stone, and centuries-old wooden columns; multiple staircases weave together and connect the various spaces, giving the feel of a modern-day Swiss Family Robinson treehouse.

Invest in Your Practice
The Experience
You have learned the SmartFLOW principles - now it is time to test out your teaching skills. During the Retreat, you will receive extensive, experiential opportunities to craft your voice and hone your sequencing and cueing.
What you will Learn
WHat TO EXPECT
Each day will start with a morning 2.5 hour practice session, an extended lunch break for swimming, excursions or relaxing on the beach and a 4 hour afternoon teaching labs. Dinners will be at our group table(s) or on your own, as you wish. We will end with a celebratory dinner on Saturday evening. One afternoon will have an abbreviated schedule to allow for an optional excursion.
You will enjoy both large full group sessions as well as smaller more intimate pairings to get the optimal chance to see bodies and teach to each and every one. Annie will personally oversee each trainee’s development and growth in their teaching progress.
