Testimonials

info

"This was my first retreat out of the country. I was a little bit nervous, especially since it was halfway around the world and my first time to that part of the globe. Steph and Polina were very accessible and provided valuable insights on what to expect as well as what to pack which made this endeavor feel less daunting. From the moment I arrived at the retreat I felt welcome and at ease. Steph and Polina did a phenomenal job to expose me to different types of yoga, making each type of yoga accessible and enjoyable. The retreat space and food that was offered was beyond my expectations. Given an opportunity, I would love to go on another retreat with Steph and Polina”.

Royce, USA

“I have now attended two yoga retreats from Steph and Polina, one in Indonesia, and one in Costa Rica. All I can say is WOW!!! Steph and Polina are two of the best yoga teachers I have found. Their love and inner wisdom shine through the classes and time they spend helping each person connect to their heart and soul. They foster a feeling of community and support right from the start. The locations and accommodations were all fantastic, with nature all around. In addition to yoga, they organize activities like surfing, hiking and horseback riding. I loved every moment. If I could, I would attend every retreat they offer”.

Janice, USA

“Steph and Polina have the unique ability to create both a transcendent personal growth opportunity and a powerful community learning opportunity all at once. This yoga experience offers relaxation, delicious food and off-the-beaten-path activities in a wildly beautiful part of the world. I have not stopped thinking about this trip since the moment I returned home. “

Lisa, USA

"Polina and Steph know how to create a fantastic, once-in -a -lifetime retreat experience. The excursions were fantastic, both planned and impromptu, made for memories and friendships formed that will last my lifetime. Of course yoga was amazing too! A magnificent blend of Ashtanga, Kundalini, Vinyasa and Meditation. I felt there was something for everyone. You don’t want to miss it!”
