Ready to Reclaim Your Thirst for Life?  

Welcome to New Thirst.

Is alcohol no longer quenching your thirst for a happy life?

A growing number of adults worldwide feel the same, and a new 'drink less' approach to living is gaining momentum. You don't have to do it alone! 

This movement is inspired by drinkers that do not define themselves as alcoholics. Collectively, we work in empowering ways to understand why we drink and then learn to take back control.

​Our strategies are based on using yoga and holistic health options to rethink our relationship with alcohol, identify old habits and create new stories that inspire us to live the life for which we truly thirst. 

​Yoga beginners are welcome.

Yoga + Alcohol Reduction

From Our Founder,

​Yoga postures, breathing techniques, mantras and emotion/thought management are excellent tools to aid you in drinking less.  

And, they are extremely useful at helping you identify what you are really thirsting for in life. 

During my personal search for support, I discovered there are very few groups designed to help you reduce drinking that aren't Alcoholics Anonymous, and quite frankly that's not a group many of us feel comfortable with or fits our needs. 

Having practiced yoga for 13 years and worked in the yoga industry for 9, I know many teachings of a yoga practice can assist your drinking reduction efforts.

​For me, my yoga practice made it easier to transition to reduced drinking and get focused on the things I really wanted to be doing; advance yoga teacher trainings, growing a new business, and swimming! 

 So, I have decided to share my yoga practice and holistic health knowledge with others that want to reduce or quit drinking so that we may all live happier and fuller lives, quenching our true thirst for life! 

Welcome to New Thirst, using holistic strategies to help you reduce your drinking. I'm so happy to have you join the community!

Yoga Wisdom & Drinking

Yogananda (master yogi): Do you smoke? 
Herb Jeffries (actor, yoga student): Yes
Yogananda: Well you may continue, do you drink? 
Herb Jeffries: Yes
Yogananda: Well you may continue
Herb Jeffries: Hold on, you mean I can come up here and study with you and then go back down there and do all of these things
Yogananda: Absolutely, but I will not promise you if you continue these studies that the desire to do these things will not fall away from you. 
- Herb Jeffries, Awake the Life of Yogananda

Costa Rica 

In 2009 I moved to Costa Rica. I had no plan, no contacts and no belongings. I simply listened to my inner voice that said "Change!"

Almost 11 years later I run an established yoga studio and travel agency. I have seen the magical, healing powers of the jungle. I've watched people arrive with raw, emotional wounds and use the tropics as a place to reconnect and rediscover their thirst for living a life aligned with their true desires. 

It seems like a no-brainer to use Costa Rica as a home base for New Thirst operations. Our videos are full of wonderful information, and also give you a visual tour of the best of this country. You'll be thirsting to visit (and have the money saved to do so!) after you finish your 30 Day No Alcohol Challenge. 

I hope we can meet on one of our No-Drinking Costa Rica Retreats.
