In 2007, Benjamin founded the LUXYOGA retreat in the South of France, an experience featured in Esquire, Yoga Journal, Vogue, the New York Times Magazine, and more. LUXYOGA now exists as a transformational experience both in pe

He is obsessed with practice, and committed to evolving his material to keep expanding after 40. If you’re young and flexible, he’ll help you, too. and continues his studies in Ayurveda, anatomy, bodywork, Katonah Yoga, Astanga Yoga, and energy healing. Benjamin leads seminars worldwide, facilitates teacher development, and is a sought-after mentor in the international yoga community. As a competitive athlete who stumbled upon yoga as a last resort to heal, his therapeutic teaching style helps real people live better through yoga. Benjamin’s ability to connect the poses to your body and the practice to your life in a practical and poetic way empowers students to appreciate the present and develop an action plan to progress. He recognizes that the students do their own work and hopes to help them stay safe and enjoy the process.

when it comes to local mobility in which the goal is to isolate one joint like the shoulder, success, and progress come from precision. Then it’s just about consistency.
take care of the magnificent home you were given. these bodies are incredible and they deserve our love and care.
next retreat is july 19-24 in Montana.

We don’t need as much entertainment as they try to sell us. Make a meal and take a walk at sunset with your friends. What could be better?
This was last night after dinner on our ibiza retreat. Next retreat is Yellowstone, Montana July 19-24.

20 guests from seven countries and everyone already laughing like old friends. That’s what it’s all about.
This week will be a seamless integration of yoga, movement, strength training, mobility, mindfulness coaching, fine food, and proper hospitality.
we hope these posts bring you a little taste of joy.

simple and effective. now you just have to repeat consistently for 8 weeks and report back.
I had six knee surgeries in my 20s and I’m now 45, still going. we have to take care of these bodies.
in fact, my injuries have given me more material to use as a teacher.

All I can really say at this point is let’s fu***ng go. I got a great strength and mobility practice in this morning. I love creating joyful spaces for people to challenge themselves and grow. It’s my life‘s work, and I’m ready for this chapter.

Straight from ibiza, here are the simple and powerful drills you need to improve and maintain your shoulder mobility and health.
These fundamental mobility sets are essential building blocks. Save them and hit each one three times per week exactly as described in the video. Focus on maintaining scapular depression and retraction throughout the drills in order to isolate the rotations.
On each day of our retreat, we will be doing a significant volume of strength training, calisthenics, and yoga, so holistic mobility work is crucial. We will alternate between internal and external rotation basics each day.
Follow along for mobility tips from the retreat.

fully yes, my coffee remained on my mustache for most of this video.
anyway we are fully booked, and now getting locked and loaded for our fourth year of Ibiza retreats. Success in these endeavors comes down to a balance of impeccable planning and adaptability.
a great team is essential. I don’t rely on resort staff because I have particular taste and I want my guest to have the experience that I believe represents the brand that we’ve developed over 20 years from the South Of France, to Montana and Ibiza.
here on the island, I have the best people by my side, and for that I’m very grateful.

Stick to the basics and subtle shifts will become inspiring changes. Keep your head up out there: you’ll never know when you’ll see a donkey pooping gold.
