My family and I have been fascinated with the spirituality and strength of Mayan culture, their sacred cenotes, diverse wildlife, small neighborhood vibes, and vibrant wellness community in Tulum.

Testimonials

"Dear Beautiful Souls, 

As I reflect on this past week, my heart feels full beyond words. 

What began as a yoga retreat became something far greater - a gathering of kindred spirits brought together in a space of compassion, laughter, openness, and shared humanity. 

Though many of us had never truly met before, we were already somehow connected - though Slava, our longtime human bridge, who for the past decade has gently woven extraordinary people into my life. What a gift that has been!

The setting itself felt sacred - nature in her most breathtaking form. The lush landscapes, the denotes, the pyramids rising toward the sky, the exhilaration of zip-lining - each experience filled me with awe and reminded me how alive and present we are meant to feel in this world. 

And then, there was the daily rhythm of our days - the shared breakfasts, lunches, and dinners; conversations that flowed easily between laughter and vulnerability; moments of reflection and joy. Reintroducing myself to yoga in this space felt like a blessing - not just movement, but a return. A remembering. 

Valentin, your care for all of us did not go unnoticed. From lighting candles and creating warmth to ensuring our comfort with such patience and youthfulness - you embodied attentiveness and heart. 

To each of you: I feel certain this was not a fleeting encounter. There are connections that will continue - across coasts, time zones, future retreats and spontaneous reunions somewhere in between. We shared something meaningful and rare. 

Slava, you are truly a blessing. Thank you for continuing to be a conduit for community, growth, and soul connection. 

This week was spectacular. Transformative. Life-affirming. 

With deep gratitude and affection,"

Carmen, 2026

"Because we went so deep so fast, time seemed to have expanded, and it feels like we spent much longer together than just a few days.

I really appreciate the support of the group, how we in such a short time created our own world, much like the princesses in the story: got pregnant one day, and had the bb the next. 

The food, the whole experience was beyond any expectation I could have ever imagined. "Outta this world" kind of experience. I loved mixing it all up - yoga - all the activities with the bonding bus rides, breathwork, stories, communal meals, beach time, zip line, cents. I'll post more pictures later. 

Looking forward to reconnecting and creating more shared experiences, worlds of their own." 

- Zsuzsanna, 2026

"The lies I have been telling myself: 

I can wake up and do the same routine that Slava lead us through and feel as nourished and fulfilled. 

I can drink lemongrass and chamomile tea after dinner and read my Vedanta books - this is the same. 

I can "just" practice my Surya Pranayama method daily as part of my meditation. 

All to say: it's not the same! And I miss you all and these cherished experienced immensely." 

- Jonencia, 2026

"Theresa, Slava, and Valentin, you are a unique combination of souls that genuinely generate so much Light, Energy, Kindness and Compassion. You are a Community onto yourselves and are selfless with your generosity in sharing it with all  who cross your paths. I feel so fortunate to have you in my life!" 

"I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your class a week ago Monday when you were subbing. The pace, the postures, the sequencing were perfect, resulting in improved range of motion without strain. Thank you very much!" - Eileen Hunt, San Diego, CA

---------------------------------------------

"I wanted to express my appreciation for the the class we finished last week, and more specifically, for the peaceful and serene "energy" you brought to it. You have a great healing presence!

The past few years, I have been on the lookout for examples of people who integrate philosophical/spiritual insights with living life in "society", and have not encountered many as of yet. Being in this class was inspirational for me in that I got this opportunity. So much thanks!

Many of the interests you shared during the class resonate deeply with me. The significance of a philosophical orientation to life, the exploration of different religions and spiritual conceptions of reality, metaphysics, alternative medicine, wellness, literature, and the pursuit of living in accordance with one's "dharma" while seeking peace and balance—all these topics captivate my attention.

I particularly enjoyed your clear and open intellect with your ability to see different angles of each situation and your weariness of rigid forms of thinking and being.

Well that's my little letter of appreciation! Would love to stay in touch." - Abe 2023
