Stories from Menorca Retreat

I am very happy with this retreat which was very complete in many ways . Soomai has incorporated all the pillars of yoga for us : the asanas , the pranayamas, the chanting , the mantras and affirmations , journaling, guided meditations, asanas adjustments, references to chakras . It was also great because she allowed us to learn new technics such as Holotropic breathwork but also Janzu . She offered us a starting course on Face Yoga too. The setting was peaceful for introspection. The food was also very good and the hotel offered us non vegetarian options which was very appreciated . The hotel had great Spa facilities and offered key treatments such as lymphatic drainage which was very important to me . It was a great experience , thank you Soomai !

I would say that this was a truly great experience, and I’m so glad I could be part of this amazing space created by Soomai. The whole program was designed with great care — we had meditation, journaling, and then an intense yoga practice in the morning, which was the perfect way to wake up and prepare for the rest of the day. We had time for ourselves and to explore Menorca, and every afternoon we took part in different special sessions. We did holotropic breathwork, a sound bath, facial yoga, and Janzu water therapy. Each of these sessions gave me a unique and unforgettable experience, along with “tools” I can use whenever I need them. I highly recommend everyone to become part of this amazing space and join the next retreat! ❤️

I experienced a dream retreat. When I left for this journey, I never imagined I would go through such moments of deep transformation and serenity. A huge thank you to the wonderful Soomai and the quality of her guidance — professional, yet filled with gentleness, attentive listening, and genuine kindness. I highly recommend it to anyone wishing to reconnect with themselves, let go, and take a timeless pause between yoga, meditation, and discoveries such as Janzu — simply fabulous, a sublime and liberating tool. Thank you, Soomai. I will be there for the next retreat 🌞

This retreat was a wonderful experience that opened me up to a wider yoga practice. Soomai has curated her space to be welcoming and peaceful and her joy in curating this experience truly shines through whatever she does. The retreat encompassed more than I expected with the Janzu and holotropic breathwork. I will recommend this retreat to anyone who wants space to just be and hopefully feel rejuvenated. I definitely reached Samadhi during this retreat.

The Soomai Space retreat felt like a deep exhale. Everything was thoughtfully cared but what made it truly special was the safe, kind space Soomai created. Her guidance was gentle, grounding, and so supportive.

Incredible yoga retreat with Soomai! Everything was perfect, from her approach, mindset and classes to the location, food and ambience. The diversity of the yoga and breathing exercises proposed was diverse, rich and truly inspiring. It was a privilege to participate in those five days, surrounded by great people and a wonderful trainer. Soomai is so professional and such a beautiful mind.

Experiences Shared

I recently attended a holotropic breathwork class for the first time and was truly amazed by the experience. Soomai exuded warmth and kindness, creating a nurturing space where I immediately felt at ease. Her supportive approach allowed everyone to move at their own pace, which made the session feel both personal and empowering. The breathwork itself was an incredibly powerful experience – I was struck by how quickly time seemed to pass as I entered a deep state of calm. Soomai’s gentle, open nature made it easy to connect with her, and I appreciated how she was available to offer guidance and answer any questions after the session. I highly recommend!

Soomai’s classes are a gem. Her style is dynamic and always in tune with the theme she proposes. I took several Chakra Yoga classes with her, and I loved the fluidity of her sequences, as well as how she integrates the mudras and breathwork. It’s a Vinyasa-style practice, super rich and immersive. In the end, you feel that delicious rest after a rewarding effort. Soomai conveys her charisma and knowledge in every movement, making the experience unique and unforgettable. Janzu with Soomai feels like a deep embrace. From the very start, you can feel her care and presence, and as the session unfolds, the water and her movements guide you into a state of incredible calm and safety. She’s gentle yet dynamic, leading you into a deep meditative space. I’d recommend it to anyone in need of a reset and a moment of total peace.

I had the beautiful experience of doing Janzu with Soomai… I was able to disconnect from the external world to connect with her energy and the sea. It was a session of deep introspection and at the same time with just the right amount of dynamism. I am grateful and I highly recommend it! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Each yoga class with Soomai is a precious moment and a unique gift for the soul and body, a session where physical work is intertwined with moments of meditation to find or restore balance at the beginning or during the day. I love the yoga classes with Soomai, who is a gentle, patient, and peaceful person, because there is a beautiful part of spirituality and creativity in every session. You leave feeling both relaxed and full of energy. I highly recommend her services 100%.

I really enjoyed your class, especially because I discovered a new style of yoga with you, combining stretches and strength, which I really liked. Also, you radiate such positive energy that is relaxing and makes everyone feel at ease, which makes the class more peaceful.As a teacher, I also think you explain things well and correct postures effectively. So thank you for this experience!

I had the chance to join Soomai for different types of practices. From gentle yin yoga to soft breathwork and meditation or holotropic breathwork, Soomai creates a beautiful and relaxing space for her students. Each class is a new experience, and she shares the wealth of her knowledge, soothing energy and smile and takes us into a profound journey.

Soomai was very kind to me from the first contact and also very attentive in providing information about her classes. I really appreciated that she gave me different options regarding the price range of her class, and that made me feel confident to attend. The class seemed physically intense at times, but I also felt supported by Soomai's words, and she reminded me several times not to 'push' my body too much, which brought me peace of mind. My favorite part was the little massage at the end with an essential oil that smelled amazing. I really liked her vibe, and I would definitely return to her class without a second thought.

I worked with Soomai in private one and one sessions to help with my Scoliosis. Soomai took the time to research and make notes on the stretches and poses that would help me most with my back ache and posture. She has a beautiful and balanced aura and energy that brings a sense of calm to each session and allowed me to arrive onto the mat truly as myself.If certain poses or stretches were too difficult for me at a certain moment, I was never made to feel incompetent or unable, the class flowed just as it needed to each time, to however I felt most comfortable. Soomai is the perfect teacher, healer and guide and I would return again to work with her in a heartbeat.

Soomai is a wonderful and talented yoga instructor. Her inner beauty also radiates outwardly which makes the practice of yoga a wonderful experience on every level. In her classes you feel noticed and cared for. She can create a safe space and warm atmosphere for yoga practice - from the scent of essential oils to the wonderful music. Additionally, she plays the bowls during shavasana, which makes it an incredibly relaxing ending of the class. Breathing practice led by Soomai is an incredibly deep spiritual experience. Anyone who is looking for personal growth and would like to reach a higher level of their own consciousness should try it. I recommend everyone to join classes and breathing practices with Soomai.

I still remember the first practice I attended with you. From the moment you entered the shala, I was captivated by your presence and energy. After that first practice, I was fascinated by the way you guide, the alternatives you offer for the asanas, your adjustments, and what can I say about the final embrace, a little aroma and massage. Sometimes, I was lucky enough to feel the vibration of your singing bowl. But what I enjoyed most was getting to know you and realizing that all that magic comes from the love and dedication you give to yourself and share with us. I am grateful to your ancestors, your journey, your courage and bravery in following your dreams, and the embrace that, through distance and time, continues to accompany me with the memory of your smile illuminating me.

I've been practicing yoga for about 10 years, and I practiced with Soomai for 2 of them. Her classes are dynamic and engaging—we work on a bit of everything: strength, flexibility, mobility, and breathwork. She has a loving way of connecting and encouraging you to explore new limits with your body. Each class begins with a thoughtful introduction that gives space to the mind and spirit. She sets a theme or intention that helps harmonize the practice, guiding you to move in tune with your personal needs, listening to your body and intentions, while also sharing in the collective energy of the group. The relaxation and meditation at the end of class are both soothing and liberating. Surrounded by calming scents and gentle care, it's easy to enter a state of deep gratitude and carry that energy into the rest of your day. I'm so grateful to have shared my practice with Soomi—she's charming, sweet, and fun. She adores her little dog Coco, and it's beautiful to see him quietly joining her classes. It's easy to relate to her—she’s down-to-earth and brings a light, joyful energy to every session. She's also very respectful and observant, guiding the class with care and adapting to each student's level. She offers adjustments without pressure, always looking after your body to prevent strain or injury. Soomi is intelligent, empathetic, and an excellent teacher. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to practice yoga -no matter your level ❣

Yoga came into my life 5 years ago, surrounded by water in a little corner of this world called Holbox, and I can say it arrived for a second time in my life alongside Soomai. It came so I could believe in it again as a lifestyle, to think of it beyond just a space in my life to relax and forget about the stress of everyday life. Soomai takes the practice of yoga beyond the physical; it’s philosophy, it’s about evolving alongside it in this world. I’ve always loved having her accompany me in my growth, both in postures and challenging me to take that extra step, to deepen my practice. But that depth always meant that it was both on the physical and spiritual planes. Thank you for giving equal importance to both the spiritual and physical aspects, for making each class have a unique meaning. I hope soon I will have the pleasure of crossing paths again.  And I can’t forget to thank you for your continuous personal growth, and I was happy to participate with you in the Janzu practice. The water, your movements, took me back to that first refuge, the womb. A wonderful sensation of peace, calm, and tranquility. Thank you, Soomai, for doing everything from a place of love and with such professionalism!

Your classes are a gift to my body, my mind, and my soul... the intention we work on in each class resonates with me for a long time, carrying it into the life that exists after the mat. And that is wonderful.

Soomai is intuitive and curious about the practice of yoga which is evident in her naturally seamless progressive movement sequences. It is a pure gift and true joy to practice under her guidance.
