Our Guides On This Trip

Heidi Wirtz

Heidi is an accomplished climber in all realms of the sport. She has been guiding for over 20 years and is an AMGA Certified Rock Guide and professional climber for The North Face. Along with her passion for climbing she has taught yoga for climbers for over a decade. She works with people to get them back into the flow state and help them realize that this is a natural state of our being. We will work on the mat and on the wall to help us grow and develop.

Raquel Hermandez-Cruz

Raquel grew up in Puerto Rico and is an accomplished and internationally recognized yoga, slackline yoga, handstands and acroyogateacher. She found her passion for yoga when she was studying for her Master’s degree in marine biology and discovered it as a way to alleviate pain in her neck, back, and shoulders. This led her to complete her first of many yoga certifications, including a 500-hour Hatha Yoga teacher training in India. However, Raquel’s true passion lay in sharing her knowledge and helping others find the same balance and peace she had found through yoga.

Sam Selwei

Sam is Co-creator of Yoga Slackers. He decided over a decade ago that the status quo simply was not for him. Instead, in 2004 he packed up what little material possessions he owned and began living on the road, traveling coast-to-coast in pursuit of a life that uniquely expressed his values for adventure and environmental responsibility. Just a year later, his passions for Slacklining, Adventure Racing, and Rock Climbing came together when he co-created “The YogaSlackers,” a company founded on bringing yoga poses to the slackline, and finding the yogic elements within other body-awareness practices, such as acrobatics and climbing.

Marc Pietrolungo aka "Petch"

Petch has been climbing since 1989 and his passion for teaching and guiding are equal to his insatiable stoke for climbing in general. He is owner of Lovers Leap Guides and has developed quite a lot of the climbing in this area. He is an AMGA Certified Rock Instructor

Notes From Past Adventurers

"Unlike any other international trip I've been on! What a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in all types of play. Puerto Rico was absolutely soul recharging, I'd love to do it all over again!" Becca Roseberry

“Earth play retreats is a blast! It’s a great way to travel, and play with people who have similar interests. As a climber of 26+ years, finding a climbing/ travel partners isn’t always the easiest to find. Earth play has been awesome for that. I get to travel and climb with out the worries of finding someone to travel with.” Michelle Hale

“Earth Play was everything I could have wished for. Wake up to yoga and surfing in paradise, crushing gorgeous limestone coral formations in the jungle, and slacklining over the waves with a breathtaking ocean sunset, all accompanied by like-minded awesome people and culture.” Isacc Jessen
