The Portal:
A Pilates & Yoga Retreat
Pleasure. Pilates. Practice. Play.
Sept 10-14, 2025
Cabo Pulmo, Baja California Sur
The Portal.
We invite you to step into The Portal: a multi-sensory community experience to embody pleasure, pilates, practice, and play.
As we find ourselves in an era ripe with transformation—composting what no longer serves us as individuals and what no longer nourishes the collective—it is time to reimagine what is possible for the world we are creating.
Together, we offer you four days and nights of joy, grief, ceremony, and nourishment. We will gather on Pericú land, held by the ocean’s embrace and desert’s wisdom, to explore what it means to regenerate, reconnect, and rest.
This is more than a retreat: it is a deepening into collective care, shared intention, and sacred embodiment. We’ll move our bodies, sweat, rest, pray, connect, release, and honor the prayers carried in our sweat, words, and hearts.
Every B O D Y is welcome in this space, no matter your practice experience level or abilities! Come & play…

Born in Brooklyn and raised across three continents by age ten, Moses embodies a unique global perspective shaped by the rhythms of diverse cultures. His love for movement began as an athlete but deepened through injuries, teaching him the body’s potential for healing, strength, and joy. These experiences inspired a philosophy that celebrates every body’s uniqueness and emphasizes the power of community in fostering emotional, physical, and mental healing. Sacred work!!!
As the founder of OVRHL, Moses weaves together ancient traditions, modern practices, and life’s hard-earned lessons—parenting, missteps, and growth—to honor the body as a sacred vessel for transformation. Drawing on Yoruba spirituality, Yoga philosophy, and a bold embrace of play, he offers a holistic, soulful approach to wellness and collective healing. IYKYK

Mira is a queer white Jewish mama, a Sagitarrius through and through, a 4th-generation San Franciscan, and a shrimp fiend.
Mira’s work centers on curating community through education work, community healing, and pleasure activism. As a Jewish ritualist blending ancestral practice with reimagined creations, her offerings center on belonging and connection with collective liberation and healing for all, both within and beyond the confines of culture and identity.
After 15 years working in K-12 schools, Mira founded her own consulting business focusing on anti oppression education and advising, and is now blending those histories with more body and pleasure based practices to step out of the mind and into deeper transformation.
When she’s not chasing after her fiery toddler on some epic Bay Area adventure, you can find Mira on her mat in hot yoga or pilates, tending to her 24 fruit trees in East Oakland, hosting folks for a delicious Shabbat, or planning her next getaway on this vast planet.
