Trained in India since 1989 — at the Sivananda Yoga school, the Osho Center, and the Bhakti Yoga tradition — he combines somatic movement, breath work, active meditation, kundalini-based energy activation, ancestral sound, and Ayurvedic principles to create grounded, body-centered experiences that help people quiet mental noise, release held tension, reconnect with their vital energy, and return to presence.
His work is not theoretical. It lives in the body — through movement, voice, breath, vibration, and stillness. Each retreat is designed to produce something tangible: greater calm, sharper clarity, more energy, and a real practice you can take home.

Details of this retreat
Immerse yourself in a transformative journey of renewal, designed to meet you exactly where you are.
Nestled in the heart of Akumal’s lush jungle, our therapeutic Temazcal ceremony is more than a ritual—it’s a heartfelt embrace from ancient wisdom, inviting you to release, recharge, and remember your inner light.
The Ceremony: A Womb of Fire, Steam, and Compassion
Step gently into the sacred dome of the Temazcal, where the warmth of volcanic stones and the scent of copal and eucalyptusenvelop you like a prayer.
Guided you’ll move through four “doors,” each honoring a direction and element, while steam purifies your body and sacred chants soothe your spirit. This is your space to let go—whether tears, laughter, or silence—all held in a safe, nurturing circle
During the ceremony, the air vibrates with the resonant tones of *music medicina*—ancestral instruments like the *huéhuetl* (Aztec drum), clay ocarinas, and seed rattles. These sacred sounds, paired with traditional chants in Nahuatl or Maya, align your energy and awaken deep states of tranquility. Sound healing here is not just auditory; it’s a vibrational massage for the soul, dissolving blockages and restoring harmony.
Before entering the Temazcal, you’ll be smudged with fragrant copal, its smoke carrying prayers to the heavens. Post-ceremony, a gentle cleansing with white sage and palo santo, clears stagnant energies, leaving you grounded and luminous. These sacred botanicals, revered for centuries, act as bridges between the physical and spiritual realms, amplifying the ritual’s transformative power.
Rebirth in a Private Cenote
The journey culminates with a plunge into the cenote, a crystalline sinkhole sacred to the Maya. As you dive into its cool, turquoise waters, the contrast of the Temazcal’s fiery embrace and the cenote’s refreshing depths symbolizes rebirth. Let the waters wash away remnants of the past, leaving you renewed, empowered, and deeply connected to the pulse of the Earth.
Why This Experience?
Our Temazcal ceremony is more than a ritual—it’s a portal to self-discovery.
