Our Story
Meet Marci & Karina
Two soul sisters with a shared love for movement, connection, and sunshine — the hearts behind every Salty Skins retreat.
Who We Are
With big smiles and even bigger hearts, Marci and Karina have come together to create experiences that go far beyond the mat. Their retreats are equal parts grounding and joyful — where downward dogs meet dance breaks, deep breaths meet belly laughs, and strangers become community. Through Yoga, Pilates, and playful exploration, they’re building a space where awareness, self-love, and a little magic can bloom. Come as you are, and leave a little more you.
