Personalized Retreats
Welcome to the jungle of this ancient Mayan land, where you are invited to reconnect with your authentic, wild self.
We are here to create an authentic and meaningful experience for you - one that honors your whole being, your uniqueness, and your truth. This journey is woven through both the visible and unseen realms, with effects that unfold not only in the moment, but also in the months that follow.
The creation of your personalized retreat begins well before you arrive. We start by connecting through an initial call, where we get a sense of your current path, needs, and intentions. You’ll also be invited to complete a detailed questionnaire, which helps us understand your personal history, preferences, and areas of focus. We take time to study your natal chart as a deeper tool for insight, revealing key themes, patterns, and potentials in your soul’s journey. Together, we’ll explore your intentions for the retreat and any modalities you feel particularly drawn to - ensuring that your experience is thoughtfully curated to support your unique transformation and healing.
In a world often filled with chaos, noise, and distraction, we offer a different kind of medicine - universal and timeless. Here, you’ll find simplicity, grounding, silence, nature, focused presence, purification, refined sound, and the guiding elements of ancient wisdom and practice. All in service of uncovering the deeper purpose and meaning behind your intentions, efforts, and commitment.
Let’s start with the physical space you are in.
Welcome to Siddhi Bhava –
In Sanskrit, "siddhi" (सिद्धि) translates to "accomplishment, attainment, perfection, or success”. In the context of yoga and spiritual practices, "siddhi" refers to extraordinary powers or abilities that can be gained through dedicated practice and meditation. "bhava" (भव) broadly means "being, existence, becoming, birth, feeling, sentiment, state of body or mind”
This space has many elements to help you access those deep inner states, as it is enriched and charged with various energies and symbolism.
It is handcrafted with mostly natural local materials. Cabaña is held by two mother trees, stretching their roots into the space with their grounding and supporting presence.
Siddhi Bhava also features ancient rocks that were once part of coral reefs eons ago, when this area was an ocean! We invite you to experience the powerful grounding effect of standing barefoot on these ancient rocks, connecting deeply to the core of the Earth, evoking your own primordial memories.
The floor is made of earth, clay, cement, and sand. We highly recommend walking barefoot in the space for improved balance, body awareness and other health and mental benefits.
The space is thoughtfully adorned with elements collected from around the world - each piece hand-selected by Yana during her travels, carrying with it the energy of the hands that made it and the stories of the lands it came from. The soft cotton sheets, hand block-printed blanket, and towels are from the vibrant state of Rajasthan, India. The delicate shell chandelier, flowing bathroom curtains, and intricately carved and painted coconuts come from Bali, Indonesia. The hammock is from the lush landscapes of Ecuador, while the pillows are crafted in California by Avocado, using certified organic and natural materials. Everything else is deeply rooted in Mexico, sourced with care from local artisans who keep their traditions alive through their craft. The toiletries provided are organic, made with honey and herbs, and entirely free from synthetic chemicals - offering a gentle, nourishing experience for both body and earth.
Living in the jungle for the past two years has taught us to embrace the imperfections, to loosen up, to let go of the sterile life of the western civilization to embrace the real chaos of the natural world where everything magically falls in the right places in the right time. Here we don’t try to dominate the nature but let her guide us by deeply listening and watching the signs and the gentle nudges. Because her plan and wisdom always trump ours. We invite you to try to play this game, too!
Enjoy watching the stars and the moon through the skylight at night and wake up to the sounds of the birds signing to welcome a new day!
Food as Medicine
We are blessed to have access to vibrant, seasonal, locally grown organic food - abundant with the vitamins and nutrients naturally suited for this climate.
During the retreats, we offer a nourishing and delicious vegan diet, carefully prepared without added salt, processed sugars, or heavy oils. Each meal is designed to support clarity, lightness, and a deeper connection with your body.
As part of the intention to reset and realign eating habits, we invite you to be fully present with your food. Meals are enjoyed in silence within our beautiful Saha space, allowing you to truly taste, feel, and honor the experience of nourishment.
When we set aside all that is unnecessary, we begin to touch the spiritual, subtle, and heavenly realms - layers of reality that often feel just beyond reach. In this space, it can feel as though invisible hands are guiding us forward, and a quiet sense of anticipation arises - an invitation into something deeper, more alive, more meaningful than what we've known before.
What becomes available in these subtle planes far surpasses the familiar pleasures of the material world - food, comfort, sex, wealth, power. In the subtle realm, the delights are more refined, intricate, and soul-nourishing. But to access this plane, we are asked to let go of the ballast - the weight that keeps us tethered to density and distraction. This is the paradox: to say "no" to what is known in order to open to what has not yet fully revealed itself.
This “no” is not about deprivation, suffering, or forced austerity. It is the release of craving. It is the choice to live in freedom, rooted in gratitude and contentment - enjoying life fully, yet without attachment or need. It's not about avoiding comfort, but rather finding true comfort in simplicity and presence.
“It is all I have lost, that has set me free.” - B. Sparacino
During the retreat, we intentionally create gentle limitations around comfort - offering a supportive structure that encourages inward focus—while simultaneously expanding the space for meaningful practices, healing experiences, and personal guidance.
We approach this work holistically, honoring the full spectrum of body, mind, and spirit. We believe that deep healing and transformation happen when we engage with the entirety of the self, while staying anchored in the spiritual nature of existence. Our role is to create a safe, clear, and sacred container where your spirit can do its own profound work. We hold a deep trust in the inherent dignity, divine origin, and self-healing potential within every human being. We are simply here to provide the space, the tools, and the presence.
Through a process of sensory purification - supported by ceremonies, yoga, meditation, sound healing, and other modalities - we open the doorways for you to journey inward. You may begin to see your true self more clearly: your past, present, and future; your wounded and healed aspects; karmic patterns; soul path through the lens of your natal chart; and most importantly, the voice of your truth - unfiltered and free.
We will move at your pace, walking alongside you with care and presence. We only ask that you commit to staying through the entire journey, no matter what arises. Trust the process. We are here to serve you.
TESTIMONIAL
“Since the moment I began working with Yana eight months ago, I started hearing her guiding voice in my head. Yana has a great ability to be really piercing with her feedback and to touch the parts of myself that need to listen but often don’t. She is very good at seeing where I am playing games or finding excuses and immediately catches it and helps me see it very clearly so I can be more aware and mindful. I believe the best way to know if a therapist or a coach is good, is to simply witness how you feel after you spoke. Every time we finished a session, I felt more energized, motivated and guided. Yana always gives very clear instructions, homework and rituals that really resonated with me and helped me deepen the work not only in our sessions but on my daily life.
This feeling is what made me decide very early on to book a private retreat with her in Mexico. I was confident that if she could make me feel this way after 1 hour online, she would be able to really help me break through and go even deeper in a live setting.
Since the very beginning, what inspired me the most and what I believe is what makes Yana stand out compared to other therapists I worked with, is the integration of Vedic astrology into the sessions. I have been interested in Vedic astrology for 6 year prior to working with Yana, and I had done several readings already. I truly believe that it is an amazing way to know ourselves on a deeper level but most importantly to accept who we are. We often try to change parts of personality or behavior that we are annoyed by, but when we truly understand that this is part of our birth blueprint, we are being given the opportunity to simply accept every parts of ourselves and learn to work with them rather than against them.
The accuracy of all the predictions I have ever had were so shockingly on point that it is hard not to make peace with the idea that there is a greater force out there that sets the tone.
Integrating this powerful set of information into a guided therapy/coaching allows to have a much more profound and personalized feedback that really surpasses all the previous work I have done.
I always felt that someone who has access to your chart and really knows how to read it, knows more about you than your parent or your closest friends. So having these informations in the hands of a good hearted therapist/coach is a true blessing.
Although all our online sessions were great, being able to meet Yana in person and participate to a 10 days private retreat with her was really an amazing opportunity to learn and grow a lot in very short period of time. She has a great attention to detail and it is easy to tell that she really cares a lot. I felt very supported and the work we did was really tailored for my needs. I am very blessed and honored to have been able to do it. This was a very unique experience and I can only recommend it sincerely to anyone who is willing to really dive in and change their life.
I’ve already booked my trip to go on a pilgrimage that she is organizing in India later this year, and I am really looking forward to it.”
