Grow & Glow in Guatemala with Leah Zaccaria

Get ready to get in touch with yourself! Through inspiration, yoga, and meditation, Leah will draw out your light during this week of growth and expansion. Majestically located on the shores of Lake Atitlan, our retreat center is the perfect place to dive into your yoga practice and ignite the fires of transformation. Believed by the Mayans to be the center of the universe, Atitlán is surrounded by a dozen highly preserved Mayan villages and three dormant volcanoes. Alexander von Humboldt called it “the most beautiful lake in the world.”

The Venue

Villa Sumaya is an inspiring and beautiful retreat center on Lake Atitlan. Lake Atitlan, with the backdrop of three stunning volcanoes, has been called “the most beautiful lake in the world.” Villa Sumaya is located in Santa Cruz la Laguna, a fifteen-minute boat ride from the lake’s main hub of transit, Panajachel. From here you can travel by boat all around the lake to take advantage of the large variety of activities here at Atitlan, or you can simply relax and rejuvenate in our gorgeous grounds.
