This week in Oaxaca was such a gift! As a movement professional myself, I can attest to both Lulu and Francesca being incredibly talented instructors but even more importantly, they created a container to expand, heal, laugh, and make genuine friendships. Would absolutely attend again and again!

From the very first moment I walked into the shala, I felt held — not just by the landscape of Mazunte, but by the intentional container Francesca and Lulu had so thoughtfully created. Their teaching was deeply embodied, intuitive, and spacious. Nothing felt performative. Everything felt real. Francesca and Lulu guided us with steadiness and emotional intelligence — their sequencing was so thoughtful, strong, and fluid. They brought softness, warmth, and an almost poetic presence to every practice. Together, they struck that a seamless balance of structure and surrender. As someone who teaches movement myself, I felt both inspired and genuinely able to receive — which is not always easy for me. Mazunte itself worked its quiet magic. The ocean air, the golden light, the rhythm of roosters at dawn — it softened my nervous system in a way I didn’t realize I needed. There was laughter, deep rest, nourishing meals, meaningful conversation, and space to simply be. I left feeling clearer, grounded, and more connected to why I love movement and community in the first place. What made this retreat exceptional wasn’t just the yoga — it was the integrity. The care. The subtle details. The way Francesca and Lulu truly held the group with attentiveness and heart. If you’re looking to feel seen, restored, and quietly transformed — this is it. I am so grateful I said yes. 🌊✨

I joined Francesca on her retreat in Costa Rica, and it was one of the most meaningful experiences I’ve ever had. She is so intentional about every detail - you feel her care in everything, from the way the days are structured to the energy she brings to each session. She has a rare gift for building community - by the second day, strangers felt like dear friends, and the whole experience was like a vacation with people you love, with the added gift of deep, transformative yoga practice. I left feeling open, strong, grounded, and full of gratitude. I really hope you can experience it for yourself❤️
