Offering 13 years of experience teaching yoga, Satya de la Paz August inspires students to fall in love with their bodies and their practice. She infuses dynamic alignment, chanting, storytelling, and community-building into her classes. Satya is deeply grateful for her mentor, Abby Tucker, as well as all of her dharma and movement teachers: Sally Kempton, Rob Preece, and Sianna Sherman. Satya's classes are a classroom and restoration of our most awakened blissful being for multiracial, multi-gender, and multigenerational groups.

This was wonderful experience, full of connection, community, and joy.

This was such a magical experience. I absolutely loved the community - everyone showed up with warmth and love. The yoga classes and smaller group workshops/sessions were incredible. The food was very good.

An insightful and loving experience. The healing I received at the Sacred Ceremony, touched, moved and inspired me to fully LIVE my life. Satya and the facilitators (Malka and AshEL) of the ceremony held space for all of the participants in a special, loving and caring way which enhanced the experience of healing. I had a HUGE breakthrough @ this ceremony - I healed ancestry wounds as well as healed my own wounds during ceremony. I whole-heartedly recommend this ceremony with these facilitators to anyone looking to heal in a loving and caring way.

The 2025 Being Peace Yoga & Meditation Retreat was a beautiful way to enter the new year. The programming was supportive and enlightening without being overly scheduled. The facilitators were amazing and made the entire weekend run well. This was a wonderful gift to myself and I highly recommend the experience for those looking to deepen their mindfulness practices.
