Feb 14 - 21, 2026 | Starting at $950Guatemala Yoga Retreat with Yuval Samburski: Feb 14-21, 2026
A Rich and Unique Experience combining Yoga, Dance & Sound, Nature & Culture, lead by Yuval Samburski & Anne Koza
Join Yuval Samburski on his 12th (!!!) Annual Guatemala Retreat and Anne Koza on her 6th (!!!) to reconnect with your heart & soul in this magical week of transformative yoga, soulful music, unique cultural excursions, and ancestral Mayan ceremonies.
During the time in the breathtaking and powerful Lake Atitlán, you will have the opportunity to embrace a change of pace and breathe in harmony with nature.
Villa Sumaya is the perfect destination to feel truly immersed in the elements, while feeling well taken care of by the unique culture and our well-curated program. Come to strengthen your relationship with your true Self and experience the magic of a natural world like no other.
Lake Atitlán is considered by many to be one of the most sacred places on Earth.
For centuries, the Mayan civilization has considered this energetic portal to be the "the belly button of the world", a place of forward motion, where your intentions are supported to come into fruition in record time. From our experience, this is true.
Lake Atitlán undoubtedly connects us with the power of the Solar Plexus, leading us forward, in support of stronger, healthier and more empowered beings.
During this week in Guatemala, expect your senses to be nourished, as you feel your Prana, vitality, and spirits lift with each day. This special off-grid holiday is the perfect place to take a break from your daily stresses and to make room for your soul's wisdom to surface. You are on a new, inner journey. Self-love and joy are inherent parts of us and our aim is to help you activate those real qualities within you. We are here to support and help you integrate the magic, not just for our week together, but as lasting transformation into your life.

As you plan your trip here are a couple things to note:
• We HIGHLY RECOMMEND consulting us before organizing travel arrangements and purchasing flights as we can advise according to the retreat schedule. Please reach out to me at anytime.
• As with any travel, we recommend buying trip insurance.
• All levels of practitioners are truly welcome; however, a reasonable level experience with yoga is assumed.
• An optional few days in the beautiful colonial city of Antigua (before or after our retreat week) is a great option to experience more of Guatemala, and is always popular among our participants. This unique town offers great history, shopping, art, museums, phenomenal gastronomy, as well as a highly recommended hike up the Acatenango volcano.
We are happy to help with advice, however this optional trip extension is at your own cost and organization. If interested, please contact us!
• A $950 non-refundable deposit secures your spot.
• All payments are non-refundable.
• Unforeseen circumstances may require us to change activities, however, we will do our very best to keep the schedule as is, or replace an offering with another of similar interest and value.
See you in Guatemala!
