My experience volunteering in the school was really great! Memo and Jennifer are great hosts and have a big heart, they treat you like family and are always making sure you're okay with tasks giving you freedom to spread your hours how you feel best. It was really nice to get in touch with nature and getting to know Jullian, Saint Izabel and seeing a lot of wild life. The place the school nice and comfortable. It was also really nice to teach some yoga at the retreats! Thanks for everything ;)

The school an amazing opportunity and experience for anyone and everyone! Memo was very kind and caring. He was an amazing host and was openly communicative with the exchange. The property and surrounding area were absolutely gorgeous and it was delightful being able to walk around and truly admire the surroundings. During my stay, I was able to truly embrace nature and its true beauty. The exchange was amazing and I would absolutely love to come back!

I went to the school for a retreat to help film and teach yoga. I loved my time there and am excited to one day go back. Memo was kind to me and the other travelers there were really amazing people. I really enjoyed the nature there and the weather. It's up in the mountains so it doesn't get as hot in summertime.
