Our Retreat Home

Set just outside of Montenegro, Quindío, our finca is a colorful, traditional cafetero-style property surrounded by lush greenery. With bright facades, wide porches, and vibrant details, it carries the spirit of Colombia’s coffee region.

The property offers both private cabañas and shared rooms in the main house, each with its own bathroom. Between practices, you’ll have space to rest by the pool, walk the gardens, or simply soak in the views of the surrounding hills. It’s private, peaceful, and full of character - a perfect home base for our retreat.

What to Expect

Our retreat is built around joy - in movement, in connection, and in discovery. Each morning begins with energizing yoga practices, followed by nourishing meals prepared by local cooks.

From there, the days open into adventure: walking among the towering wax palms of Valle de Cocora and exploring the colorful streets of Salento and Filandia. We’ll hike through the jungle of the Barbas-Bremen Reserve, where howler monkeys call across the canopy. We'll sink into the soothing waters of the Santa Rosa thermal baths. A visit to a local coffee and cacao farm connects us directly with the land’s flavors and traditions, before evenings of shared practices and shared reflection.

The rhythm will be playful and balanced. Days filled with exploration and laughter, with enough space for rest and connection to yourself and others.

Meet Your Hosts

Daniel Cuervo and Martin Markaj are partners in life, practice, and now in leading retreats. After years of teaching together in Miami, they’re bringing their shared love of yoga and playful movement to Colombia’s coffee region—Daniel’s homeland and a place close to both their hearts.

With over two decades of combined practice and study, including Awakening Yoga, Ashtanga, Hatha and mobility-based training, their classes blend strong, inversion-filled sequences with a focus on mobility, strength, and joy. Their teaching is about moving well, having fun, and reconnecting to yourself.

This retreat is your invitation to explore the beauty around you and the space within you—a journey into nature, movement, and personal discovery.
