Los Angeles-based yoga instructor Andrea Marcum is pictured here bending over backwards on the beach of Costa Rica where she was teaching at her yoga retreat. “Yoga can take us out of our routine and introduce us to inspiring new places, sounds, tastes, cultures and people,” she says. “As beautiful as this sunset is behind me, nothing is more incredible than watching people get to know each other and their new surroundings as our yoga retreat week goes by.” Marcum is the founder of
U Studio Yoga in LA.
