Gene’s Reviews
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!
Renewal after sunset
Yoga with Gene is about being present, forgiveness, love, and renewal. Find and own your journey.
