My trip to Guatemala with Yuval and Anne was exactly as advertised. I felt the magic within as well as the magic of the lake, the culture and our hosts. I felt very well taken care of and safe. The setting was lovely. All of the experiences offered were very thoughtful, meaningful and fun. A true testimony to a good trip is what I take home with me. I am home and still feel the magic! Thank you Yuval and Anne and to the wonderful group of humans you rounded up to share this experience with me and to the warm people of Guatemala.

This was my fourth yoga retreat with Yuval and first with Anne. Their combined teaching styles and energy were perfect for offering a great experience for everyone who was there! They were available to provide any and all support needed to ensure participants felt safe and cared for. The spa retreat in Guatemala was beautiful and the employees were very helpful and made you feel welcomed. I look forward to my fifth yoga retreat with Yuval… wherever it is!

Just returned from the most transformative week at Lake Atitlán with Yuval and Anne, and I’m still floating. From the moment we arrived at the breathtaking shores of Villa Sumaya at Lake Atitlán. it felt like stepping into a sacred dream. The volcanoes rising out of the mist, the stillness of the water at sunrise, the vibrant local culture — everything created the perfect container for deep inner work. Yuval’s guidance was grounded, wise, and beautifully intentional. Every practice felt thoughtfully woven — strong yet accessible, challenging yet nurturing. Anne brought such a radiant, heart-opening presence, blending softness and strength in a way that made everyone feel seen and supported. Together, they created a space that felt safe, expansive, and genuinely transformative. Each day unfolded with soulful movement sessions, nourishing meals, meaningful group circles, and quiet moments to reflect and integrate. There was laughter, there were tears, and there was so much growth. This wasn’t just a yoga retreat — it was a journey back to myself. If you’re feeling called to reset, reconnect, and realign in one of the most magical places on earth, don’t hesitate. A retreat with Yuval and Anne at Lake Atitlán is a gift you’ll carry long after you leave.

A wonderful yoga retreat led by the purrrfect duo! Yuval brings incredible energy, colourful outfits, yoga dance and Reiki - Anne balances him beautifully with her thoughtful Ashtanga, teachings, calm presence and Reiki. Their sense of humour and warmth created such a welcoming ambience. The days exploring the villages around the lake: racing tuk-tuks and stopping for ice cream were as memorable as the yoga. When I became ill on my trip they were incredibly kind and thoughtful: even providing me with a get well kit! A spiritual, joyful and genuinely caring and transformative retreat 😇💕

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!!!
