Staying with Akiko was a magical experience and I’m so thankful that it happened!
Akiko’s place have a special energy that slows everything down and calms your nerve like grandma’s old house in the country. I was surrounded by tropical rainforest vegetation and sounds which made me sleep like a baby every night.
Each weekday morning there is group meditation with Akiko and other residents, many of which are experienced practitioners which bring a very calming and stable energy in the meditation session. On Monday and Thursday there are group yoga sessions happening in the compound, where very seasoned instructor come and teach. Thanks to the secluded setting and very slow pace, I experienced the best yoga practices I’ve had.
What’s also magical is the group of travelers who found their way at Akiko’s, they tend to be solo travelers who are worldly, thoughtful and cool. I made a few great friends here and was able to spend time with them. How serendipitous and how blessed!
