OUR NEW PROGRAM OFFERS TWO LEARNING AND ONE EXPERIENTIAL TRACK:

• PURE EXPERIENCE TRACK: Designed for yogis who are interested in transformational experience only, without higher education lectures or credits.

(Please see below for more info about each track of study)

Thank you for your interest in going deeper into your yoga journey with us. We, Yuval (UV) and Anne, are thrilled to be coming back to Villa Sumaya, for an education program that has a diversity of offerings to fit your needs. 

We had a successful first education program (offered in December 2023), and are coming back this year with additional ways to participate to include more study opportunities for you as a yogi and/or yoga teacher. Deeply love sharing our knowledge and expertise on yoga, prana, subtle body activation and healing practices. We are proud to offer you a week with the perfect balance of learning and experience, movement and study, private mentoring, and free time for self-exploration that will leave you feeling refreshed, energized and transformed. We are both here to support you on your unique, individual path. 

Our program begins on September 21, the Fall Equinox: a time of transformation, a time to celebrate what we have accomplished and reflect on where we want to go next. It is also a time of preparation for the New Lunar Year (Rose Hashanah), offering a fresh new start at many levels. We built our training around these important inflection points. As our focus of study will be on the lunar, reflective side of yoga: the yoga of restoration, nourishment, slow, and intentional self compassion, the fall equinox is perfectly aligned to support our journey together. 

As you prepare to embark on this week of self-discovery we believe there is no better place to experience this journey, then at the magical Villa Sumaya at the spirit-filled Lake Atitlan in Guatemala. 

Please read the below description and feel free to ask us any questions via email. We would love to welcome you on this sacred path of higher education in yoga and the modalities of healing arts.

In service, 

UV & Anne.

GENERAL INFO:

A Very Special Location: Why Villa Sumaya in Lake Atitlan?

Villa Sumaya is a beautiful, 17 acres eco-lodge, set in the stunning hills of Lake Atitlan, Guatemala. Villa Sumaya means “the place where dreams come true” and the lake is considered “the belly button of the universe”, a strong and powerful spiritual and energetic center. The lake, as Manipura: the solar plexus chakra, is supportive in manifestation, making dreams into reality, and setting one on their own deep spiritual path (as long as they are willing to do the work, of course). An important place for Mayan Shamans and culture, the lake as a whole, and Villa Sumaya specifically are the most perfect places to do such deep inner work, and to set oneself on a professional teaching and healing path. A path that is tailored to each individual’s needs, desires, abilities and Dharmic journey, all supported by us, UV & Anne, as well as the fascinating Mayan spiritual system.

While on site. enjoy stunning views, local excursions (not included), delicious and plentiful, home cooked, locally sourced, vegetarian meals, and higher vibrational energy that supports your efforts at every step. There is no better place to invest towards your inner, authentic goals as a yoga instructor.

She designs her sequences to be both challenging and rejuvenating.

With a degree in Biology and Psychology, Anne studied the impact of yoga on the mind and body and believes in yoga’s inherent value for holistic wellbeing. Anne received her 200HR from Back Bay Yoga, and her 500HR from Super Soul Farm led by Raghunath Cappo, where she spent a month living and learning at Radhanath Swami’s Govardhan Eco Village in Mumbai, India.
