Kirby Gordon teaches Katonah Yoga, a style she studied with Abbie Galvin, owner of The Studio in New York City. Her classes combine classical yoga philosophy with Katonah Yoga theory, and she is known for hands-on adjustments — she helps students go where they wouldn't on their own. She also runs one-to-one therapeutic yoga privates and a three-month mentorship for teachers, so the teaching on this retreat comes from someone who works with students over years, not just in group classes.

The retreat runs 16–21 January 2027 in Costa Rica, over New Year. It is a five-night stay. The page does not list a day-by-day schedule, so the exact shape of each day is not stated here; what is stated is that yoga teaching is the core of the week and that the group is kept intimate.

What separates this from a large resort yoga week is the teaching style. Kirby's classes are described as a blend of structure and spirit, earthly and accessible, with theory you can take into your life. A student quoted on the page, Mariana, who attended a solo retreat, said the teaching was more than repeating what was learned in school — that it was about transmitting the practice while respecting students' own boundaries.

Kirby also runs a half-day retreat in Austin, Texas, on 6 December, and keeps an email list for future international retreats. The Costa Rica week is the one currently listed for 2026/2027 alongside that Austin date.

Beyond the dates and the teaching, the page gives no details on the venue, rooms, meals or daily timetable. Those are not stated and are not filled in here.
