About this Retreat
With over a decade of experience as a yoga teacher trainer and practitioner, Juliana encourages yoga as a way of living, a way to rediscover one's essence.
Nature lover, and seeker of new ways of living, and relating; last years she has been learning and sharing different tools to bring human potential and harmony with life.
She also uses vibrations and frequencies to harmonize body, mind, and soul, using instruments like gongs, bowls, kalimbas, rain sticks, and more.
Passionate about tourism and deeply specialized in wellness experiences, Mateo is a world-sailing traveler who has spent years living alongside island communities across the globe. Through this journey, he has developed a profound understanding of sustainable tourism and the ways in which nature-centered lifestyles support balance, resilience, and well-being.
Mateo has mastered freediving and holotropic breathwork as powerful tools for wellness, self-regulation, and presence. Freediving cultivates deep awareness of breath, body, and mind, activating the parasympathetic nervous system and fostering calm, focus, and inner trust. Practiced with intention, it encourages mental clarity, emotional regulation, and a heightened sense of connection with the ocean and oneself.
Holotropic breathwork supports emotional release, stress reduction, and expanded self-awareness by using conscious breathing to access deeper states of presence. This practice allows participants to gently explore and release stored tension, reconnect with their inner world, and cultivate a grounded, embodied sense of clarity.
Together, these practices offer a holistic approach to wellness, helping individuals quiet the mind, reconnect with the body, and return to the present moment with greater balance, vitality, and awareness.
