A retreat for the soul, an adventure for the spirit, beautiful memories for the mind, and new friendships for the heart! Fernanda brought this trip to life in such a thoughtful way. She was incredibly generous with her time and prepared us well before the trip. She picked a very lovely place for us to stay, eat, and practice in this beautiful area of Brazil where the ocean meets the jungle. Her yoga classes were so fantastic! She was incredibly organized, detail-oriented, and well-researched, and her communication style and adaptability never left us in the lurch. Even with temperamental weather and our plans having to change, she overcame these challenges with proactivity and discipline, allowing us to achieve all our objectives without affecting the overall tone and rhythm of the trip. I had loads of fun, I learned so much, and I'm so grateful for Fernanda's vision and work in creating this experience and bringing amazing collaborators for each part of the trip - from the very first drive from the airport, the beauty and cleanliness of the accommodations once we got there, the wonderful massages and photos, the delicious gourmet food that delighted our senses and inspired us to step up our game at home, and the surf lessons with the most easy-going instructors - everyone we met was incredibly kind. Because of that, I was able to pause, relax, reflect, reconnect with myself, get to know others, and explore this special corner of the world that I would never have known without her. I can't wait to see what she comes up with next!

This trip far exceeded my expectations in so many ways: the beautiful, inviting Brazilian landscape; the cozy, welcoming vibe of Moksha Yoga Surf Villa; the friendly faces; the delicious, nourishing meals; the daily yoga and mindfulness practice; the connected small group community; and most importantly Fernanda! She is not only a skilled and organized event planner (thinking of EVERY detail) and a fantastic and thoughtful hostess, but she is a tremendously wonderful yoga teacher. Her classes held the perfect combination of movement, stretching, relaxation, pranayama, self-discovery, group connection, chanting, scents, inspiration, and introspection. She made us all feel welcome and like a family, throughout the entire stay. She communicated regularly and adjusted the schedule of activities as necessary to fit the weather. She made me feel welcome and connected to everybody and to the culture (even though I don't speak Portuguese). The excursions were incredible including visits to lovely Ubatuba, swimming under a waterfall, surfing, beach hopping, and bird watching from kayaks. The beauty of Brazil was on full display, and I repeatedly felt like I was in paradise! Fernanda exudes warmth and welcomeness, and I'm so happy she shared her homeland with us in this intimate way.

I had a fantastic time on this retreat! Fernanda is wonderful. She is warm, knowledgeable, thoughtful, and inclusive. Her attention to detail meant that I always felt prepared for the next step of the adventure. I really loved the balance of daily activities, yoga, and free time. Fernanda also creates such a safe space for those attending the retreat. I would love to go to Brazil with her again in the future!

Loved the balance of yoga, self reflection activities, and fun excursions! Surf lesson and island hopping boat rides were my favorite. Moshka was a nice place as well - I miss the delicious meals! The villas felt hidden and cozy. Fernanda did a wonderful job at cultivating a nice group dynamic and ensuring that everyone felt welcome and included
