In February 2027, we gather on the shores of Lake Atitlán — a place of extraordinary natural beauty and deep spiritual heritage — for a week of focused practice, meaningful connection, and conscious transformation. This is more than just a yoga retreat; this is an investment in your path of self-actualization. This retreat is designed to increase physical, energetic, psychological, and spiritual harmony and vitality.
Nestled between powerful volcanoes and rooted in living Mayan culture, Villa Sumaya offers more than stunning views. It offers a container — peaceful, intentional, and quietly potent.
Fire of Transformation is my signature retreat offering. It is about working skillfully with the inner fire of practice. This is a week-long, immersion-style retreat designed to support the transformation of stuck or stagnant energy and cultivate a more harmonious way of living. Through intentional practice, guided inquiry, and embodied experience, participants will develop deep introspective awareness of the areas of life that are in harmony and those that are calling for realignment. Together, we create a focused container where insight becomes integration, and inner work translates into meaningful, sustainable change.
