The Instructors

Arthur Uratani:

Hi everyone, Arthur here! I'll be one of your instructors for this amazing retreat in Belize. Having just come back from another Yoga Beyond the Studio retreat in Belize in January, as you can see, I can't wait to go back!

I have been teaching yoga for over eight years and Sculpt for over three years. I have led and coached close to 10 yoga and Sculpt teacher trainings for CorePower Yoga. What brings me the most joy is seeing you find success and happiness in your yoga practice. You can expect a few things from every class I teach: motivational storytelling, creative flows/poses/transitions, breaking down advanced poses, and lots of juicy twists and stretching.

I also love to travel. My favorite countries to travel to (at the moment) are Japan, Switzerland, and Portugal. I have gone on yoga retreats in Morocco, Mexico, Greece, Guatemala, and Belize. If you have more recommendations, I'm all ears.

A few fun facts about myself: I have taught yoga to both Michelle Obama and Katy Perry, I currently live in Washington DC working as a marketing director, and I know every line from the Simpsons (seasons 1-10) and Seinfeld by heart.


Maryam Kashkooli:


My relationship with yoga began almost a decade ago as a personal quest to find healing and balance for my body after years of battling chronic back pain. Through yoga, I discovered not only physical healing but also a profound sense of inner peace and balance. From the intensity of power vinyasa to the gentle surrender of restorative yin, I practice and offer a variety of yoga styles.


In addition to my passion for yoga, I'm also an avid traveler and have been to 33 countries. I've been privileged to have experienced trekking through the Andes mountains, skiing in the slopes of the Alps, cycling through the starkness of the world's driest desert, and the rich tapestry of cultures in the Middle East and North Africa. Along the way, I've found that the practice of yoga transcends borders and languages, serving as a universal language of connection and well-being. I cherish the opportunity to connect with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures, fostering understanding and unity through shared experiences.


I aim to create a welcoming space where you can explore the depths of your practice, cultivate mindfulness, and gain confidence and contentment. Whether you're seeking to build strength, find inner peace, or simply connect and create friendships with like-minded individuals, I'm here to support you every step of the way! 

The Yoga

Finding time for yoga amidst a hectic life can be a struggle, but stepping away from daily stressors unlocks the freedom to fully embrace the benefits of yoga. 


Our retreat in Belize offers the perfect escape to cultivate a deep and meaningful yoga practice, providing you with the tools to integrate these habits into your everyday life.


With a schedule designed to balance free time and guided yoga sessions, you'll lay the groundwork for a sustainable practice. Whether you're a beginner or looking to deepen your journey, our retreat caters to all levels, welcoming those new to yoga with open arms.


Daily, you'll participate in 1-2 yoga classes focused on nurturing a healthy body and mind, including meditation and healing practices. Our unique setting in a stone and mosaic-filled cottage—and, weather permitting, amidst the awe-inspiring Mayan ruins—adds an unparalleled dimension to your practice.


Join us to discover how yoga can transform your life, with the beauty of Belize as your backdrop

The Adventure

Two unbelievable adventure tours are included in this amazing retreat:


Your cave tubing adventure begins with a jungle hike above the Mayan Caves. Enter the Caves Branch River in your inner tubes and float down stream and through the caves and see their wonders.


Altun Ha Mayan Ruin is in Belize Boutique Resort and Spa's backyard. A twenty-minute drive to Lucky Strike Village, where Altun Ha Mayan Ruin is located, uncovers the temple of the sun god. Altun Ha Mayan Ruin was discovered in 1957 while building the Pan American Highway through Belize. 


Enjoy a one hour Yoga & meditation class (weather permitting) while at the Ruins.

Had an amazing time in Belize! The jungle resort was amazing! Allie is a wonderful yoga instructor and leader. Everyone at the resort and on the retreat were so warm and welcoming.

A very memorable experience. Pilates, the Mayan ruins, cave tubing, zip lining, and Caye Caulker. The most unique experience and perfect retreat. I will continue to enjoy yoga beyond the studio retreats, they’re the best!

This was a fantastic trip! It was just the right amount of “participation” (no pressure), Nicole is the best, and I can’t imagine being with a greater group of fun and amazing ladies! Shayna thought of everything, the packing list was very helpful for someone packing last minute, and the gift bags were used by everyone. The jungle resort was great with good food and very friendly and accommodating people.

This was one of the best trips of my entire life and I travel A LOT! I booked back in September I had a lot going on and wasn't sure it was the right thing to do at the time, but I can say I am SO GRATEFUL I did. Everything was organized perfectly! The resort was amazing, the food, the service and the staff. The pilates instructor was amazing the adventures were wonderful! The group of women that I spent the week with changed my life. I was able to celebrate my birthday while I was there and the staff went above and beyond and decorated and even made the best cake ever for me to celebrate! The women made me feel so special as if I was with my best friends I had for life! I am so so so grateful I booked when I did and it came to fruition the way it did! Shayna did an exceptional job with the organization of this retreat! Cannot wait for the next one!!!

This trip was unlike any I'd ever taken. A mix of adventure, total serenity, and impeccable service. From the food, to the tour guides, to the resort staff - every bit was perfect. I left feeling like I had a new home with both my fellow adventure buddies as well as every one of the resort staff. Special thanks to Melanie, Gloria, Sandy, Maricela, Gary, and our tour guides Delwyn and Emilcar.
