      Joining this 200hr YTT was the best decision I've made this year. I'm beyond grateful to Kayla and Parham for sharing their knowledge and putting their heart into this training. I'm a very particular person when it comes to education and I can confidently say I learned from the best. Not only was the training excellent but the connection and lifetime friendships I built with the women who attended, are priceless and I will forever hold this experience dearly in my heart.

      The retreat with glow yoga retreats was blissful! The people, the magical place and the teachers. Food was amazing even for a non vegan ! Highly recommend.
      By Alexandra G for Solstice in Peru Retreat on Jul 03, 2023
      This Yoga retreat was a dream came true for me. I was looking at it for 3 years now. The venue is completely out of this world. Fernando, who is the owner of the place, is so kind and attentive. He always make sure we are okay and happy. I loved all the yoga course and the partnership we practice in many of them is very nice too. The flows proposed by Kayla and Dafna were very creative and helpful for my daily practice. I particularly loved the meditations propose by Dafna in the beginning of her classes. The workshops were also very powerful, I particularly loved the cacao ceremony and the manifestation journal workshop. However, I was expecting a bigger participation from Kayla and this is my only "deception" of the retreat.

      I had the most amazing time at Still Salty Escape!!! Staff went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed for my travel to and from Managua. The food was absolutely amazing!! Rooms and accommodations were perfect!! So many fun adventures and the yoga and workshops gave me more than just physical benefits. I would recommend this retreat 10/10 times!!!

      The yoga retreat was wonderful. From the accommodation, to the food, to the activities, the staff, the organization... it was brilliant. But what made the week especially unique was that Kayla and Parham created an environment where everyone could be completely themselves and we as a group felt an incredible connection. I definitely met people who will continue to accompany me in my life. Further, I took away inspirations and insights which will enrich my life. A heartfelt thank you <3

      Staying at SSE was like living in a dream state! This retreat was absolute magic- from the food, to the views, to the yoga, and the community. Kayla crafted an experience of a lifetime and I feel blessed to have been part of it.
