MEET YOUR GUIDES
Teresa Gonzalez
Teresa is a yogini and lover of nature with a creative heart.
Aside from yoga, she also enjoys movement such as cycling, hiking, swimming, and dancing. She brings over 20 years of yoga experience with a solid practice in Vinyasa, Restorative, Yin, and Partner Yoga.
She wants to share with her students all of the adventure, peace, flavors, smells, warmth of the sun, and cool water that Greece has to offer.
Teresa is passionate about teaching her students how to find peace and bliss in their lives by awakening all the senses to take it all in. She believes any type of meditation is an important daily practice whether that looks like a mindful walk, sitting still, practicing breathwork, etc. This is one of the many tools that supports her teachings.
Her philosophy of taking it all in also involves opening the heart with yoga, inviting restful sleep with meditation, and waking up to beautiful sunrises to fill up the inner vessel of beauty.
Creative expression is also one of her gifts and she enjoys creating art by painting on canvas, paper, walls, on a t-shirt, or just drawing a Mandala in the sand, using her fingers and toes, and decorating them with sticks and stones that she collects nearby.


Ruben Gonzalez
Ruben’s introduction to Yoga came many years ago from the philosophy side by reading the classics texts and meditation practice, as he combined a professional life as a data analyst for over 35 years with an active life in sports, mainly soccer.
Later in life, Ruben moved more through cycling and triathlons, and discovered that yoga helped shorten the recovery time after races and hard training sessions. He also discovered that yoga helped him with his posture at work, and finding more mental clarity. All of this led him to get his 200hr yoga teacher certification.
Through breath-centric movement, Ruben encourages his students to find harmony within their bodies and minds, fostering a deeper connection to themselves.
Ruben’s teaching philosophy extends beyond the physical aspects of yoga. He believes that yoga is a powerful tool for self-discovery and personal growth. In his classes, you’ll find an invigorating safe space to develop a sustainable practice.

“Our retreat unfolded seamlessly, and we all had a delightful time. The setting, the accommodations, the swimming, the food, the field trips were all amazing and so much fun. The daily yoga sessions were perfectly paced and accessible to all. My husband and I found that having the opportunity and space to mindfully consider the topic of connection- to nature, to place, to ourselves, and to each other was an unexpected gift. We left with a deeper understanding of ways we can support one another on life’s journey!”
-Susan, past Retreater 2023 & 2024

Our Destination
This dream travel and retreat experience takes place in Florence, the enchanting city of the Tuscany Region in Italy. From the iconic Duomo to the charming streets, Florence captivates with its timeless beauty and vibrant culture. From Florence, we venture into the serene hills of southern Tuscany, near the picturesque village of San Casciano dei Bagni, a charming medieval village. It is about 2 hours north of Rome and 2 hours south of Florence.
Where We’ll Stay
In Florence, we’ll stay at the centrally located Grand Hotel Cavour, a historic medieval palace set in the heart of Renaissance Florence. One of the hotel’s most special features is its breathtaking rooftop terrace, offering stunning panoramic views over the city and the iconic Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore — the perfect place to soak in the magic of Florence.
In the Tuscan countryside, we’ll retreat to the luxurious Fonteverde Spa Resort, a magnificent palace born from a Renaissance-era portico commissioned by Grand Duke Ferdinando I de’ Medici. Nestled in the heart of the Val d’Orcia — a landscape of rolling hills, cypress-lined roads, and ancient churches — Fonteverde is a sanctuary of natural beauty and serenity. Its spectacular panoramic pools, along with the thermal spring-fed pools used for spa treatments and relaxation, create an unparalleled atmosphere of healing and renewal.
Fonteverde is a jewel of Tuscany: a timeless haven where you can discover a new dimension of well-being, restore your senses, and experience pure harmony.
