I finally recorded one of my OG original songs, Sayulita!
Written during my early backpacker days living in Mexico (15 years ago), and I couldn’t be more happy with the amazing full sound teaming up to record with Earl Pereira on bass and solo guitar, Christian Kongawi on live drums and even having J Pool do the final mix and master.
I went into the the travel media vault and found this spontaneous street jam in Mazunte in 2017 with some local musicians as they bring some amazing percussion to Sayulita played on Normita (my travelin’ ukulele).
The universal language of music is such a gift. I feel very grateful and humbled by all the different places and people I’ve had the fortune of playing and evolving my original music with. My song Sayulita was written in Mexico years ago and has been at the top of my music jam arsenal ever since!
In other exciting news as we kick into retreat season,
this January I am very excited to team up with my partner and amazing yogi Brenna Bote for her studio’s first international Yoga Teacher Training and our first YTT at ViYarte!
Jan 19 - Feb 13, 200 hour certification and with PLY’s signature emphasis on mobility and how to fully step into the teacher role. We will also be offering fractured weeks for those keen on just the first week or two or looking to get extra hours (300hr) and brush up on their yoga.
Please share the word out with any friends ready to dive into yoga and step up their teachings. Click below for more info:
I'll be posting more updates via my Instagram stories from ViYarte - especially on all the plants and trees we've been planting and what's thriving and what's not.
It's a jungle out there!
Dig it!

I enjoyed reading about Sayulita and the experiences shared in the article. The descriptions made the destination feel welcoming and full of character. While researching travel storytelling for a university task, I came across a Corporate Branding Agency case study and noticed how strong storytelling helps create lasting impressions. Places often become memorable because of the stories connected to them.
The Sayulita article is beautiful because it captures the relaxing atmosphere and unique experiences of traveling to a peaceful destination. It reminded me of short trips during school breaks when traveling helped me recharge from academic pressure. During stressful semesters, I used Computer Course Help USA support to better manage coursework while planning travel experiences. Overall, travel and relaxation can really improve balance and motivation.
It is inspiring to see how a song written years ago during backpacking finally reached full production and release. I once tried balancing creative hobbies with academic pressure and even considered online calculus help so I could free time for music practice. Stories like this show that creative journeys take patience and evolve with every life experience. Staying connected to passions while managing responsibilities makes achievements feel even more meaningful.
