Testimonials

“I have been taking yoga with Thuy for over a year and always have the best experience in her classes. Incorporating the seasons, elements, and local harvest schedules into her yoga teaching is rare in my area and such a refreshing take on a traditional yoga practice. The moon circle events are a fantastic way to reconnect with yourself while being open amongst peers. Highly recommended!”

“As a Christian, I was originally apprehensive to try yoga or meditation… but I found Thuy to be very patient and knowledgeable. She made me feel very comfortable and I decided to give it a try. From the very first class, I fell in love. I have now found meditation to be very relaxing and mentally uplifting. I always leave Thuy’s class feeling on top of the world, clear minded, and that I can conquer anything! Highly recommend her and her amazing skills!!!!”

“It was my first yoga class and I still felt welcome and at home, it was a rewarding challenge that left me feeling alive and wanting more! I now live in Hawaii and now find myself looking for more yoga classes!”

-Alex Barris, RN

“I was so excited and felt very inclined to take Thuy’s class due to her high qualifications. It was both a guided practice and a learning experience. When attending her classes, I feel very confident and secure which are very important aspects to being part of the yoga community. Her confidence and knowledge as she is guiding us through practice, allows you to enter a calm state while also challenging yourself. The kindness I received from her allowed me to be more vulnerable and myself. Her knowledge is also very inspiring. I would take her class at any opportunity I get!🤍✨”

“Yoga Teacher Training with Salila Thuy was a life changing experience.  I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from such an incredible teacher.  From anatomy to yoga mythology, Salila inspired me to become the best yoga teacher I can be.  My experience truly taught me how to live a yogic lifestyle, and anyone who has been a student of Salila would agree that her unique style of teaching is full of passion, knowledge, and expertise.”

-Deneille LaMendola, M.ED, RYT

“Salila Thuy’s class is so calming for me. It’s the day of the week where I prioritize “me time” and it’s literally the day I most look forward to. It connects me deeper in my mind, body, and soul and my life instantly got better since I’ve done her yoga. I am so grateful.” 

-Juliana Castelblanco, Yoga Student 

“The beautiful destination and incredible food was only matched by the genuine love and curiosity each person had for one another.  How we all shared past experiences of hardships in our lives and what helped us through them was divine. Real people becoming vulnerable to heal one moment and intoxicated with laughter the next.  I highly recommend a destination yoga retreat with Salila Thuy & her fellow teachers. A yoga retreat I will always cherish.”  

– Thomas Peluso, RYT-200, CPT

“Thuy’s  programs, classes, and teachings (no matter the kind) are merely an extension of You. Thuy’s classes fully embody this. It’s one thing to practice something, but another to truly embody it. TRUE work is an extension of who she is. What she teaches to others is a form of sharing herself with the world. Her tranquil, peaceful and connected flows that bring you into a state of bliss and peace within your mind, body and spirit. Thuy will take you on a journey that MOVES you. Her guided visual meditations are a one of a kind experience. Vinyasa flows that keep you challenged yet connected to your body and all that it is capable of. She is knowledgeable, loving, and a kind individual, a MUST experience.”

-Katie Cerami, Yoga Student 

“I had only taken about 6 yoga classes in my life and they were all with Thuy and that wasn’t until I was in my mid 40’s. That’s when she invited me to attend a yoga retreat in Mexico. I questioned if I was experienced enough to attend a retreat. But with Thuy’s support and guidance, I went and it was life changing. It was everything I could have ever imagined and more. I learned so much about yoga and breathing, how to heal my body and mind, how to help others, etc. I met the most amazing people. I am so grateful for that experience. I practice yoga regularly and I feel great. I now consider myself a yogi! Thank you Thuy!” 

-Frances Kestel, RN

“Thuy puts so much thought and love into everything she does and this retreat was just another reflection of that commitment. Everything was perfect- the location, the food, the FLOWS! I love how Thuy teaches, always weaving in deeper meaning w/ poetry & astrology, integrating the asanas with her words of wisdom. This retreat helped me remember who I really am. It was the perfect opportunity to connect with my higher self & make new friends. So many amazing moments it’s hard to choose a favorite but if I had to it would be the temazcal ceremony- chanting, crying, and sweating with everyone was truly transformative. Then to be bathed in tea by the medicine woman was incredibly healing- an experience that definitely changed my life. Wish we were back at the beach right now getting ready to sit for a delicious locally sourced organic meal while listening to the sound of the Pacific Ocean crash against the shore! Take me back! 💗💗💗” 

-Alyson Kryszak, LMT 

“Thuy’s retreat was the perfect balance of healthy eating, learning Reki, relaxing on the beach, meditation, asana practice, dancing, fun events with turtles and bioluminescence and making new friends. The retreat was the embodiment of yoga, union of mind, body and spirit for all!” 

-Jon Guerin, Yoga Student 

“The Chakra Immersion and Reiki Certification retreat in Playa Viva Mexico hosted by Thuy, Naya and Madison elevated my retreat life for life experience. The way the retreat was designed was so supportive to elevating our life’s purpose from the moment we woke up to the time we went to sleep in our Manta Ray style treehouse! Everything was at the right time, right place, right moment… The daily yoga, meditation, and reiki class were nurturing and giving to my body, mind, and soul. I had the opportunity to be part of a newly hatched baby sea turtle journey as they transitioned from the shore to their new ocean home. Not to mention, I experienced my first Temazcal Ceremony that I recognized now as a big part of my life-transformation journey of 2022. I love this retreat, all of it! I would love for my loved ones, friends, and everyone who is following their intuition on their way to meeting their truest, highest, and happiest self.”

“I have attended numerous moon gatherings that consisted of yoga, meditation and sound healing with Thuy. I can tell you that no two are the same. When I first started all I knew was what my “sign” was. I have now learned that there is much more to it than that. Now, I know my sun sign, moon sign and many other astrological influences. I’ve learned that astrology is not necessarily a belief” but rather a language of energy that we can learn. I knew nothing about astrology, meditation or yoga but I continued to learn with each experience, and she makes me feel like I am at home. You can tell this is not just a ‘business’ or ‘job’ to her. She lives and loves to educate! It’s obvious and utterly contagious!”

-Larry Kaskey, Yoga Student 

“I enjoyed the movement meditation, the guided imagery of the digestive tract where Thuy provided homemade tea to ingest during the process. It felt good to meditate while moving, gently breathing,  and stretching.”

-Fei Daniel, Yoga Student, RYT 

“Thuy’s meditations, sound healing, and breathwork techniques are magical, they take me on a journey to a higher vibration! Really, it’s such a fun and divine experience. I feel centered in my body and mind, and I am always left at peace. Her goddess energy and guidance is very unique and special. If you have the privilege to experience it, I suggest that you go for it! 👍🏼🙌🏼😊”

-John Bej, Yoga Student 

“I’ve been taking yoga classes with Thuy almost two years now and she exceeds my expectations every time. Every class she teaches she incorporates spirituality, philosophy, and cosmology for yourself to either modify or amplify your practice during class. Her energy is pure, welcoming and just all around a radiant soul. Thuy also hosts moon gatherings, these circles give an opportunity to help reconnect yourself to your mind and body. It also helps to connect like minded individuals in one space forming a community of beautiful collective souls. I decided to take her 200hr Yoga Teacher Training back in 2021 and of course she completely changed my life helping me discover my true self being able to step into the inner goddess that I am. I’m glad to call her my teacher and my friend.”
