The Founders

Gloria Baraquio

Over the years, Gloria's journey into yoga, which started as a quest for healing, has grown into a life of devotion, learning, and service. Her teachings at the yoga retreat programs have been blended with a strong sense of aloha, compassion, and inclusivity because she was born and raised in Hawaii.

With more than 20 years of experience, Gloria delivers a practice that is both expansive and sincere. Her practice brings together elements from Tibetan Buddhism, Kundalini, Bhakti Yoga, and other spiritual traditions. Her work goes beyond teaching; she helps create areas where people can contemplate, rebuild their connections, and fully embrace their mission.

Her teaching is based on a clear purpose: to help people realize what really matters and to live with bravery, compassion, and integrity.

Serge Bandura

Years of intensive study, rigorous practice, and a strong bond with traditional lineages have all influenced Serge's approach to yoga. Living in yogic communities and devoting himself to the study of philosophy, movement, and meditation, he started his path early.

Serge presents a practice that is both rooted in tradition and vibrant with individual understanding through using teachings from Tantra, Tibetan Buddhism, Ayurveda, and classical yoga. His direction inspires pupils to go well beyond technique and into personal experience, where the heart opens, and consciousness grows.

Serge uses music and sound to express his passion along with his work as a teacher, creating spaces that are both vast and intricately connected. His guidance helps people find their own inner truth.
