About this Retreat
Yoga Teacher & Retreat Guide
Growing up in Italy, I studied languages in Berlin and from there life led me through Spain, Portugal, Sri Lanka, and many corners of the world, always curious to learn from local communities and their way of living.
For years I taught in high school, a chapter I loved deeply. Guiding, inspiring, and connecting with my students made me feel truly alive.
With time, I felt the call to live closer to nature, and settling in Playa Maderas became my way back to myself.
Today I teach yoga and surf, helping people reconnect with their body, their breath, and the ocean.
Born and raised in Sicily, Eleonora has always been drawn to the sea, movement, and open horizons. She holds a degree in Sport and Movement Sciences, which shaped her understanding of wellbeing and the relationship between body, environment, and experience.
After seven years living in London, where she completed a Master’s in Illustration and worked creatively, Eleonora realized she was craving a life more aligned with nature. A long journey through Asia and Central America made everything clear: travel wasn’t just something she enjoyed, it became her way of understanding the world and reconnecting with herself.
She now works as an independent Travel Designer, creating custom, experience-led journeys for individuals and small groups in destinations she knows intimately, guiding each journey from initial concept to on-the-ground details .Her work is shaped by years of slow, immersive world travel, with a focus on local relationships and lived experience rather than tourist routes.
Today, Eleonora splits her time between Bali, Central America, and her beloved Sicily, designing experiences rooted in presence, nature, and soulful exploration. Hosting retreats through FLUIR is a natural evolution of her path, bringing together movement, creativity, travel, and human connection into a thoughtfully curated journey that honors place, people, and rhythm.
Dominique is a naturopath with over seven years of experience in natural and preventive medicine. His work is rooted in the belief that health is our most valuable resource, and that long-term wellbeing begins with everyday, proactive choices.
Based in Nicaragua for over four years, Dominique is deeply connected to the local community and coastal lifestyle. He is also the founder of DodoSurf Zinc — a line of natural, chemical-free skin protection created for surfers and beach lovers.
At FLUIR, Dominique offers a wellness workshop focused on practical tools for daily health. Topics include foundational nutrition, key supplements and herbs, microbiome support, and maintaining a healthy acid-alkaline balance. Private consultations may be available during the retreat for those seeking more individualized guidance.
Lucie brings a deeply grounded and compassionate presence to her work, shaped by over 15 years as a nurse within the healthcare system. Through this path, she developed a profound understanding of the body, care, and the importance of feeling truly supported.
Drawn toward a more holistic approach to wellbeing, Lucie transitioned into yoga, energetic healing, and sound work. She is trained in Reiki and sound healing, weaving together movement, vibration, and subtle energy to support nervous system regulation, release, and restoration.
At FLUIR, Lucie offers sound healing sessions designed to guide participants into deep relaxation and inner listening. Optional one-on-one Reiki sessions will also be available as an add-on for those seeking more personalized energetic support.
Kawahe is a visual artist from El Salvador whose work explores geometry, animals, ocean life, and cultural narratives inspired by nature and place. Working primarily with acrylics and techniques drawn from fantastic realism, his art blends imagination with detailed form.
During FLUIR, Kawahe leads an intuitive art workshop that invites participants into a relaxed, creative flow. This is not about technique or outcome, but about expression, presence, and reconnecting with creativity as a felt experience, a natural extension of the retreat’s rhythm.
No prior art experience is needed, only curiosity and openness.
Natalia is a holistic massage therapist who supports people through body-centered healing practices rooted in presence, care, and respect. Her work creates a safe and nurturing space where the body can soften, release, and return to balance.
Drawing from holistic and ancestral approaches, Natalia’s massages are intuitive and responsive — honoring each person’s unique rhythm, history, and needs. Her sessions support not only physical relaxation, but also emotional and energetic integration.
At FLUIR, Natalia offers therapeutic massage as an optional add-on, providing a deeply restorative complement to the movement, surf, and ceremony of the retreat.
