Join Magen* for a week-long retreat that will include daily wellness talks and the option to eat all your meals with the Best Body food protocol while surrounded by the tropical beauty of Costa Rica.

Unlike most retreats, MB Wellness retreats offer the perfect combination of classes: restorative MB Yin (a stretching practice that includes time for meditation, breath work and reflection) and an energizing full body yang workout, MB Core. Classes are designed for participation by men and women of all fitness levels, from teens to seniors.

Magen and her Yin Stretch were featured in Manhattan Magazine's Best of the City 2010 January/February 2010 issue

*Based in New York City, Magen Banwart teaches Yin Yoga and core conditioning classes to New York City's business and fashion elite and leads mind and body wellness workshops and retreats both nationally and abroad. She founded the transformative Best Body program which she offers both to groups and privately.

Active in competitive sports since childhood and a distance runner who has completed the Boston, New York City and London marathons, Magen began working as a fitness instructor 16 years ago. She has studied Pilates™, interdisciplinary styles of yoga, and meditation for over 20 years, and received her Yoga Teacher Certification in Interdisciplinary Yoga from the Nosara Institute in Costa Rica. Magen continues to further her education and regularly participates in yoga, movement and athletic teacher trainings.

Magen is known for her ability to motivate clients with her boundless energy, unwavering and compassionate support and personalized approach. She is dedicated to helping her clients improve the quality of their lives by giving them the tools they need to be their best -- emotionally, mentally and physically. She understands from personal experience how to reduce the effects of stress on the mind and body, optimize energy, and maximize flexibility and strength in her clients' bodies. Magen works with people ranging in age from nine to 90. She specializes in core fitness, eliminating chronic back pain, weight loss and weight management and also works with athletes recovering from injury.

**MB Yin uses long, passive holds to work on the deep, dense connective tissues of the body-the tendons, ligaments and cartilage which are difficult to energize and open. This practice is very restorative and rehabilitative for the joints and muscles.
Magen's Yin class was listed in the December issue of Manhattan Magazine's Best of the Best for 2009: Best Fitness and Yoga Classes in Manhattan
