I went with Amanda and Santosha to Nepal in October of 2022. It was a life-changing journey where I made lifelong connections with incredible people and had time to process a transition in my own life. I will never forget the evening that we practiced pranayama overlooking Mount Everest after an optional day-long hiking trip. While we practiced, the sun set the mountains ablaze with the most vivid orange. I wouldn’t have believed that the photos weren’t edited, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes. The hike was magical, we had deep conversations while being continually astounded by nature’s splendor and the incredible and ancient man-made creations in this remote and inaccessible part of the world. As a group, we supported one another through personal growth and shared joy in each other’s goals and accomplishments, enjoyed exquisite meals, and laughed so much. We had formed a family before the end of our journey together, each of whom I will hold in my heart forever. The people of Nepal were incredible and witnessing the purity with which they embark on projects to better the lives of others, with so few resources of their own, has changed my perspective, revealing such a raw and naturally beautiful side of humanity. The devout love shared by the Nepali people was extended to us throughout our journey, in private homes and farms, through their incredible art (singing bowls, hand carved wooden statues, native jewelry), and in their abundant and joy-filled manner. I can’t wait to join Amanda on another journey in the near future and recommend Santosha’s programs with a full heart. Thank you Amanda, Santosha, and so much love to everyone with whom I shared that...

I have gathered at many events at this studio and I enjoyed each in their own way. Amanda offers unique opportunities from Kintsugi to Yin and Sound Baths by the Pool to Drumming Circles and beyond. I am a being that is curious about self discovery and Amanda Trevelino, owner of Santosha, offered an immersion into Human Design. I jumped right in and it was curious what I learned about myself, humankind and the universe. It was an easeful and insightful exchange drifting off into philosophical conversations.
I recommend Amanda and her studio. It is a secret gem tucked away under the canopies in...

The five star hotel and spa was top tier amazing! The rooms were luxurious and the outdoor infinity pool overlooking the bay was jaw dropping. The food was elevated healthy, traditional Mediterranean buffet with bountiful options. I fell in love with their wild crafted sage tea and local thyme honey. The variety of yoga classes were insightful, inspiring, and exactly what my body needed every day. We were offered the perfect mix of active options, exploring, and relaxing downtime. At the end of the retreat I felt rejuvenated, inspired and at peace. Thank you Amazing Amanda for this...
