“I wish everyone could take this journey. Rebekka and Karen provide the context for a journey of self-discovery, healing and fun. Guatemala provides the backdrop of what feels like untouched beauty and magic. I wouldn't have changed a thing.”
Josie Duff-Bricket
Vinyasa Yoga Flow Instructor
“Rebekka and Karen's leadership styles are quite complementary – participants benefit from their synergy. “

“What inspired me....the weather, the food, the people on retreat, the instructors, birds, the sun, seeing the kids in Santa Cruz. The visit to the home of a local family was invaluable. Seeing our people, and you, willing to share almost everything we had with the locals. Just one more big thank you. I enjoyed meeting you, and being part of the great group experience in a beautiful setting.” Peter Basnak “Thank you Karen and Rebekka for being such lovely teachers and comrades on our retreat. We arrived without much yoga training, (my husband had none). It didn't matter. We enjoyed the gentle challenge of trying new movement (even learning some Thai massage!) We were nervous about the vegetarian meals but found it to be so delicious that we think Villa Sumaya should publish a cookbook! We learned to love Guatemala and will definitely return -maybe next year to get back in balance. Karen and Rebekka thanks for such a beautiful (and reasonable) gift to ourselves and a feast for the senses! Leah and Dan Strangway
