The yoga retreat in this location on Long Island is absolutely unforgettable. Uvi’s family is unique to make everyone feeling at home, cozy, included, taken care in the body, mind and soul. The yoga is tailored based on everyone necessities. The breath work is special dedicated to strengthening the vagus nerve. Performing yoga and breathing in front of the ocean bay of Jamesport under Uvi’s guidance it has been a mystic experience. The special session of the sound healing is another amazing experience you cannot miss. Uvi’s singing mantra while playing different percussion instruments will put you in a high vibrational state. For me it has been having like an etra body experience. I’m looking forward to joining other retreats organized by Uvi. If you haven’t done it yet, you won’t regret it!

A wonderful experience — I greatly appreciated the welcoming atmosphere, thoughtfully planned yoga and activities, Yuval’s deeply knowledgeable yet approachable yoga sessions, the sound healing session, and the looser structure, that left room for contemplation, connections and conversations, and enjoying nature and the lovely surroundings — this allowed for many meaningful moments. Thank you!

Yuval’s retreats are incredible and really beyond words. His teaching and sound healing are transformative. I will definitely be at other retreats with Yuval God willing. I only wish I could go on every single one but I am happy to be able to go on the ones I can. If you can manage to participate in one of Yuval’s retreats you will not regret!

A Magical Long Weekend of Practice, Sunshine, and Soul Connection If you think you need a week-long vacation to completely hit the reset button, you haven't spent a long weekend beach retreat with Yuval Samburski and the wonderful Gee. This short but incredibly potent getaway was the perfect cocktail of deep soul-work, beachside bliss, and fun. From the first afternoon sun to the final, golden sunset, every single moment felt intentional, rejuvenating, and deeply nourishing. Yuval’s ability to guide you inward is truly special. Having Gee there to assist made the weekend feel incredibly luxurious and safe. Gee ensured that everyone felt perfectly aligned and deeply taken care of throughout our retreat. Packing a full, transformative retreat experience into a long weekend is an art form, and Yuval is an absolute master. His daily yoga classes were beautifully sequenced—fluid, challenging, and deeply grounding. His Yoga Dance is a total standout experience… pure, uninhibited joy.. It allowed everyone to shake off residual stress, let go of expectations, and just celebrate being alive in our bodies. While the entire weekend was spectacular, the absolute pinnacle was the magical sound healing session. As we lay in restorative bliss, Yuval infused the space with his beautiful, soulful singing. His voice, paired with the healing vibrations of the instruments, was nothing short of transcendent. We were blessed with spectacular weather all weekend long. In between sessions, there was ample time for swimming and long beach walks. We cleared our minds to the sound of birds, wind and water while soaking up the much-needed sunshine. The group brought together a beautiful mix of familiar faces and wonderful new souls. Whether we were laughing over pizza or french toast bagels, sharing stories on beach walks, or sitting in sacred silence together, the sense of community and shared experience was instant and heartfelt. Yuval and Gee managed to squeeze a week's worth of magic, relaxation, and transformation into one long weekend. I returned home sun-kissed, stretched out, well-fed, and deeply content. If you ever get the chance to grab a spot on a retreat with this dream team, do not hesitate!

This was my fifth retreat in Jamesport with Uvy and G, and somehow it keeps getting better every year! What makes this experience so special is the incredible community—kind, compassionate, like-minded people who come together to create something truly meaningful. The friendships, laughter, and sense of belonging are real and lasting. We had an unforgettable Sound Healing session at one of the most spiritual places of Long Island too… The art exhibitions are inspiring, the food is amazing, and the fun is genuine. But above all, the yoga is simply the best I’ve experienced anywhere in the Northeast. Every session leaves me feeling stronger, more centered, and deeply grateful. Thank you, Uvy and G, for creating another unforgettable experience and for giving us the opportunity to find joy, connection, and renewal alongside such an amazing group of human beings. I am already looking forward to next year!

The Croatia retreat was amazing!!!!! Yuval is a very special individual. His energy is incredibly inviting. My yoga practice is beginner level, at best. Yuval was patient, and an excellent teacher. I never felt judged, and by the end of the trip was even learning not to judge myself. The accommodations were top notch. Our three bedroom villa was fully stocked, clean and beautiful. Maria organized fabulous day trips - we spent time on a goat farm, learned about Croatian wine and olive oil, visited beautiful historical towns and parks, and ate wonderful food. It was an experience I will never forget. I cannot wait until my next retreat!

I had the most amazing experience in Croatia - it was not only yoga, sound baths and mindful reflection but some fun dance and lively conversations with the most talented Yuval that included a beautiful vacation that left me feeling inspired, restored and reset. In merely a week it was a wonderful to come together with like minded beautiful people that Yuval brings together. Between his lovely husband, Germain, Maria, a seasoned curator who booked special experiences throughout the incredible region of Istria, Ivana, who explained so much about local food and wine and Sonja, a special chef, we left feeling grateful to have learned a lot and made new friends. And we didn’t have to plan a thing - the goat farm we visited and dined at, the local winery, olive oil farm and lively towns exceeded my expectations and left me feeling blessed to have visited this very special part of the world.

I could not have had a more holistically amazing time in Croatia with Yuval. Joined by Maria with insider travel guidance and Ivana leading us in food and wine experiences, as well as personal chef Sonja, I felt our every need was catered to. I learned so much about Croatia, met a group of yogis - making a connection with each one, and had a profound yoga experience through Yuval’s teaching. My first experience with Yuval’s Sound Bath Meditation was completely unique and other worldly. Yuval cares deeply about each person at his retreat. I highly recommend this experience because of the joy of the event itself, but also for the path his teachings will set you on. Not to be missed!!!
