Alison Bond
Alison first came to yoga for its health benefits in 2010 and upon finding Hridaya Yoga in 2012, knew she had discovered a school sharing authentic yogic teachings. The inspiration to share the knowledge she gained led Alison to complete three yoga teacher training courses (200-hour in Canada, a 300-hour in India, and the Hridaya Yoga 500-hour). Alison also explores feminine spiritual work as another pointer to Divine Nature and completed the 200-hour Mystical Dance TTC and to become a certified “Sex, Love, and Relationship Coach” with a specialization in Female Sexuality and Jade Egg.

"Simply from the heart. Filled with love."
More than I hoped for. Life changing teachings. Opened my heart. Taught me to love myself. Beautiful people forming a beautiful supportive community. Open to every being. Eat meat and Doritos if you want - no one will judge! Go and learn to be free.
Thank you
To all the students who shared this Module 1 with me, and to the amazing teachers who have chosen to guide us towards enlightenment.
Love. Peace. Compassion.

"Open your mind and your heart"
What a great community of dedicated teachers in yoga philosophy to a path to liberation. I did the Modulo 1 - 25 days yoga retreat and Conscious Tantra Loving workshop. The course is intense and take you to the most scary place in the world: "yourself - deeply inside". This isn't a holiday retreat - its way more profound. Come with an open mind specially if you have previous yoga experience or 200 hours teacher training. I almost drop the course on my first week, the second week I still had resistance and the third week was the week of transformation. Come without expectation and let your heart speak for you. I physically left the place but my heart still there, I can't wait to go back! I am so happy that places like Hridaya is making available to the West such amazing teachings. Beautiful people, beautiful hearts! Thank you, Thank you. And I will be back with way more questions ;-)

"Prepare to go deeper and witness your true nature"
What a life changing trip and what a beautiful community. This is a truly real community of dedicated teachers, teaching us how to reach a spiritual path and be the community that leads to a life of stillness and deep understanding of our true nature.
The community was beautiful and the teachers were each and everyone dedicated which enabled students to feel fully supported into diving into the divine. There is no (zero) judgement if you can imagine that!!! The yoga was exceptional and transformative (eyes shut) and increased day by day layer by layer deeper and deeper.
The teachings are original and still relevant as spirituality is timeless. The teachers who deliver the teachings are fully and totally embodied of the divine. In my opinion it's literally like being in a "Practicing the Power of Now" Book by legend Eckhart Tolle with the added bonus they teach Hatha Yoga.
The community runs like a beating heart and the love is endless.
The location is stunning and the locals are so beautiful. I felt safe.
And last i loved the connection of all the wonderful people attending the course.

"Came for a phyiscal change received a change of perspective"
I came to Hridaya looking for a physical change. Hoping to lose a few pounds and gain some strength I booked myself onto the Yoga retreat. What I got however was much better and more profound then I could have expected. I got a change of perspective. The yoga here is focused on spirituality, for each asana you learn which chakras are being activated and you are encouraged to meditate whilst in the asana. I think if I had realised quite how spiritual it was going to be I wouldn't have come but I am very glad that I did. I feel like a completely different person.

"Gem of a Spiritual Yoga Retreat"
At Hridaya Mazunte teachers and staff are very dedicated and this shows in the quality of the teachings and the loving environment. This is a perfect, terribly affordable course for those who want to find out more about yoga as a spiritual path, rather than just exercise.

"Centrarse en el corazón "
Que te hace ver la vida desde una perspectiva más consciente, entendiendo que la empatía, el amor y la compasión son las fuerzas universales que nos deben impulsar a vivir aquí y ahora. Sin juzgar, sin etiquetar, sin cargar con expectativas. Me encantó la visión de integrar la vida diaria a la espiritualidad y no viceversa.

Me encanto toda la paz y armonía que hacia perfecta combinación con el lugar.
Aprender a meditar, el detenerse un poco respecto a el ajetreo cotidiano.
no se todo estuvo perfecto. me hubiese gustado mucho estar mas días pero por cuestiones del trabajo fue que me tuve que regresar antes sin embargo regresaría con mucho gusto.
Gracias a todos

from Los Angeles,
My Hridaya Yoga Retreat was indeed life changing, and surpassed my expectations. I was looking for a deep dive into meditation that might motivate me to start a more regular practice. The instructors and volunteers at Hridaya are superb. They have spent years doing intensive work and committing themselves to this knowledge, and do an incredible job sharing it in their workshops, with humility, discipline and love. My retreat was a three day silent meditation retreat. Be warned - it is not for the faint of heart! But the intense periods of meditation are made possible with all the discipline of the participants and expert retreat leaders guiding the process. I found the principles and tools incredibly useful, and actually opened a window into a self-love cultivation. After years of being flummoxed and challenged by the notion that self love is "an inside job", the Hridaya heart centered techniques have given me a way to experience self love in an honest and authentic way. The folks here and their teachings are really like scientists of the mind! I cannot wait to try out a longer retreat. I did not stay "on campus" due to lack of room, and have to say for beginners having space outside of Hridaya proved helpful for me as a first timer. But the meal plan (vegan) was superb and I loved being on campus as much as possible. Mazunte is also a beautiful beach town and while most time is spent in workshop, there's enough free time to experience the beach just a few blocks away.
