Release and Nourish

Yoga and Wellness Retreat

Jan. 21-28, 2023

Lake Atitlan, Guatemala

By Ma’ayan and Shoshana

Join us on a yoga and wellness journey at the beautiful Lake Atitlan Guatemala, surrounded by volcanos and magical landscapes.

Travel with us on a journey of release and nourishment. Together we will connect and explore themes of being present with what is, letting go of layers that are no longer needed to prepare our body, mind, and spirit for the spring-time ahead. We will embody self-love and self-nourishment through the practice of yoga and mindfulness. In addition, we will connect with the earth through nutrition and permaculture teachings.

Join us on an exploration of your self and the beautiful and ancient cultures of Lake Atitlan, Guatemala.

Who we are

We are Shoshana and Ma’ayan.

We are both certified yoga teachers with versatile backgrounds. Click below to learn more.

  • As a dancer, Ma’ayan started practicing yoga as a supplemental movement practice. With time yoga became more than that. It became a meditative practice, a space for self-connection and a place to return to for exploration and healing. Inspired by love for movement as a whole, Ma’ayan’s yoga classes are infused with elements of dance, functional movement, and of course the tradition of yoga. In her classes, she explores breath techniques, mindfulness practice and meditation to enhance the experience of union to ourselves.

    Ma’ayan is also a nutritionist and certified strength and mobility coach.

  • Shoshana has practiced Yoga since the age of five, and has been teaching Yoga regularly for four years. Shoshana is dedicated to helping all her clients and students find their own yoga practice, full of self-love, while also fostering a loving and accepting mindful community for all to be a part of. She is a registered instructor with Yoga Alliance and specializes in a variety of Yoga practices. Shoshana is twenty nine years old and from the United States. She currently resides in Antigua, Guatemala where she works with multiple retreat and wellness centers. In addition, Shoshana regularly teaches online Yoga to clients located around the world.
