Retreat Facilitators
Sharon and Mariana, two dedicated Ashtangis, met for the first time in 2019 at the pilgrimage of Ashtanga Yoga in Mysore, India. The Lebanese and Bolivian quickly became friends over their love for good food and the practice. Season after season, Mariana and Sharon kept reuniting at the hub in Mysore and dreamt about hosting a retreat together. 2024 is right on time, together this August, they are bringing you a blend of the Middle East and South America in the heart of the Amazon, Bolivia.
With a genuine dedication to the growth and development of students, their way of teaching integrates a profound knowledge of the breath, physical anatomy and Yogic principles. Sharon and Mariana’s deep passion and years of practice to all aspects of Ashtanga Yoga shines through in their attentive, warm and insightful teaching.
