Greetings, radiant souls!

I’m Sunny Grigorova, your guide on this transformative journey at The Vibrant Woman Retreat in Guatemala. As a seasoned yoga teacher, coach, and dynamic businesswoman, my passion lies in creating spaces where women can embrace their adventure-seeking spirits, revel in sisterhood, and rediscover their vibrant essence.

With over 15 years of experience in yoga, women’s studies, and corporate wellness, my international approach is a fusion of Vinyasa, Tantra, Kundalini, dance, psychology, and conscious relating.

Throughout our retreat, I’ll invite you to delve into the richness of your being, guiding you to shine authentically and unlock the natural flow of every part of your body.

At the heart of my offerings are women’s circles and studies, partner yoga, chakra balancing, living in harmony with our cycles, exploring Goddess archetypes, embracing sensuality, nurturing conscious relationships, as well as comprehensive corporate and personal wellness covering nutrition, movement, and stress release.

The Charlotte Women’s Circle, a community I lead, is more than a gathering—it’s an invitation for Goddesses like you to unearth your true selves, forge connections with kindred spirits, and chart a course towards your most joyous and fulfilled life.

Join me for an unforgettable retreat filled with adventure, rejuvenation, and the vibrant beauty Guatemala has to offer. Let’s embark on this journey together, celebrating the essence of womanhood in a lush and empowering setting.
