Gene’s Reviews
Self Realisation Retreat Bali
Like the garden looks better than before because i can use the space to practice. I rarely have temper these days But feels like while gaining inner peace, lose lots of joy
Bali Retreat Self Realisation
Thank you for the arrangements. I’ve started a journey I’ve never thought I would have been through in the past years. I believe the starting point is that you’ve made me feel attached with dogs😉. This amazed me. I realized this is the energy and strength of coming out of comfort zone and getting ready for the changes.
I’m not good at sharing but it doesn’t mean I don’t think. I enjoyed the Dharma talks though I always forgot the names of the term🤪. I enjoy being pushed and extending the limit with your support during the practice. It makes me feel that I’m alive and growing stronger. Of course the concert, the sound healing session, the breathtaking session, the team mates, the foods and drinks, the wonderful duck dry rice 😋 , made my days at Bali wonderful!☀️
I would focus on the three things in the coming months and see how changes are going:
Get rid of the obsessions. Go through the process and enjoy it
I’m good enough. I deserve better.
Hold on the most difficult Yoga poses.
Time passes quickly. Time to realize dreams and fulfill myself.
It's more than yoga
It has been an incredible journey to learn, practice, retreat with Gene. At his class, not only I can find power, but also numerous touching moments. I start to look inward in the quest of my spirituality. The best experience of all would be the Bali retreat. All activities are well planned and it’;s really the lifestyle I want to live, surf & yoga. Gene shared in-depth and real-life yoga knowledge with us during the trip, which I continue to practice in my daily life. Thank you again for all the joy and peace you brought to my life!
An incredible teacher and mentor
Gene is one of the most compassionate individuals I’ve had the honor to meet and learn from. He leads with heart, integrity, joy, and truth. His teachings of yoga go beyond the mat and touch upon integral aspects of wellbeing including relationships, self-love, purpose, healing and presence. Attending his classes propelled not only my yoga practice but also my spiritual path. Gene’s teachings and mentorship have been a life raft for me as I navigated challenging experiences in my life. I can’t speak highly enough of him!
wholesome journey
new to yoga, i signed up for gene’s sanya retreat. we practiced sunrise, midday, and sunsets for 5 straight days on the beach. in between, i learned to surf, riding waves alongside gene. it’s been a truly great experience and i still continue to join his classes now!
