Our unique transformational programs
Are you ready to transform your life by taking a journey deep within to uncover the bright, beautiful light that is you? After guiding thousands of individuals through our transformational programs over the past 10+ years we have mastered the art of sharing our proven practices with others to empower them to live life at optimal capacity filled with love, joy, purpose and clarity.
At YiA, we believe in the importance of holistic wellbeing and take into consideration every aspect of you as a unique individual. Our goal is to guide you on a personal journey within to remember and nourish your true essence of love, joy & peace and to then be able to greater witness that same essence in everyone and everything around you. It is a journey that connects you to your own personal values and beliefs, your own strengths and weaknesses. It connects you to the ancient wisdom that flows through every cell of your body. You already hold the widsom within to heal in mind, body and spirit, we are simply here to remind you of that wisdom and to remember that we are all interconnected and woven together as one beautiful tapestry of life. Life teaches us to see the magic in all that is. That this life we have been given is a blessing and is meant to be lived to the fullest. It reminds us to see the beauty all around us and to embrace the shadows cast side by side the light. It is a journey of fusing the light with the dark and witnessing and embracing their perfect balance. It is a journey of surrender and trust. It is a journey deep within the heart where a never-ending flame of unconditional love illuminates each and every one of us.
The greatest spark for transformation starts with complete acceptance as you are. All the beauty of your luminous light and the shadows it casts. It is stepping into the awareness that these two energies work together united in perfect harmony. This acceptance catapults you into the present moment of sweet surrender and unconditional love. It is from this space of having our hearts and eyes wide open that we enter into deep awareness and we realize that we are not broken. We realize that all the answers we seek already exist within and always have. We come to know that inside each and every one of us lies an unwavering joy and peace that we simply must choose to connect to, to remember.
Come join us in doing the most important work you will do in this lifetime, take the journey within by joining one of our personalized transformational retreats for individuals, couples, families and corporations or by joining us in one of our yoga teacher trainings.

w/ Katherine Sophia
You are one of a kind. You are unique in every sense of the word. You were born with your very own imprint and iris that are like not one other in the world. You cannot be duplicated or put into categories or labels. You are a beautiful pattern of life woven together by your DNA, your experiences, your personality, your beliefs, your purpose, your culture, your gender, your light, your shadow, your soul… your very being.
Your retreat experience should honor all the remarkable uniqueness you possess. At YiA we have created the most tailored retreat experiences designed just for YOU. We take your very essence into consideration when designing your retreat.
And yet although we are each uniquely designed, we are all kindred in spirit. We are all on the same journey with the intention to live to the fullest. To feel happy and healthy and to create the most beauty and joy for ourselves and others in this lifetime. Yet how we arrive to that space has many paths, with twists and turns along the way. The question is, what is the path that best serves you? What is it that transforms you? What makes you light up with inspiration, love and inner joy? What makes you feel most alive?
It is our belief that personalized retreats offer the most potent environment for profound personal transformation and pleasure as it takes every aspect of YOU and your vision of the experience into consideration. Join us and fully ignite your inspiration and passion for life.

Private Yoga Teacher Trainings
Just like our private retreats, our private yoga teacher trainings are completely personalized just for you. Depending on your goals and desires for the training, we can customize the learning and path to honor your unique style of teaching and being. Private yoga teacher trainings can be hosted at one of our primary luxury retreat centers in Bali or Panama, or take place anywhere in the world you desire! There are three primary options, with other options being a possibility depending on your needs. With that being said, we do not offer strictly online teacher trainings as we do not feel that is an ideal environment for learning the physical side of the practice.
Transformational Fusion - This private yoga teacher training allows you to customize your learnings both online and in-person. It consists of one week in-person training and self paced online training and distance learning.
Transformational Immersion - This option is a two week in-person training. There will be some pre-training and post-training homework assignments, but are minimal. The vast majority of the learnings will be done in person.
Weekend Fusion - This is a great option for people who have more availability on the weekends. It consists of three weekends of your choice with an online self paced learning fusion added to the experience.
If you are interested in exploring a private yoga teacher training, please contact us today schedule your free yoga teacher training consultation @ +507-6630-3769.

Boquete, Panama
Valley of the Flowers & the Eternal Spring
Boquete is the heart chakra of Mother Earth. She embraces you with her lush tropical natural beauty with her mountains, rivers, flowers and rainbows. She is nothing shy of breathtakingly beautiful. She will hold you close to her heart with her calming energy, but beware, you may never want to leave. It has happened to many…
Boquete, many would say, hosts the perfect weather year round with a sunny cool mountain climate with an average temperature of 25°C | 78°F
I have traveled the world & never seen anything more beautiful then the natural beauty of Boquete! It is the place I call home. The place where I feel most safe, most held, most connected, most grounded and deeply rooted. My love for her will never waiver.

Bali, Indonesia
Spiritual Bliss
Bali is the third eye chakra of Mother Earth. It is the place you come to pray. To learn. To explore. To open. To fully feel into the power of your intuition. The place you come to allow your adventurous, fearless parts to shine. The place you come to expand your mind beyond limitations. With her diverse beauty & energy, she will fill you full of excitement for life and motivation to live it to the fullest!
Velenje, Slovenia
Embodied Solitude
Our retreat center in Slovenia is built on 23 hectares of energetically powerful pristine land. Its intense beauty will charm you, fill you full of peace and nurture your soul. Join us and allow Veduna to swallow you in her rhythm and tune you back into yours, in harmony with the divine flow of life and nature. At Veduna, even the deepest of wounds can be seen, felt and released… and the greatest visions can come to manifestation. This is a place where new paradigms are pushed and deeper understandings are gained. Where we rekindle our connection to the land and reconnect deeply within ourselves.
