Thank you, Asiya and Svetlana, for curating an incredible experience which I will never forget! It was delightful to share genuine camaraderie with representation from America, Russia, and France in the beautiful Dominican Republic! Valeo Villa accommodations were superb with absolutely jaw-dropping 180+ degree views. The excursions were so well-organized: at Rancho Magante, we hiked, toured the amazing children’s academy, learned about organic cacao farming, practiced yoga by the pool, and then enjoyed a delightful lunch with the proprietors, Maria and Henry Mensen. We had paddle boarding lessons and relaxing, peaceful beach time on the stunning Playa Grande. Svetlana prepared healthy fresh meals each day and Asiya’s boundless energy engaged us in ballet/barre, water aerobics, hula hoops, and dancing under the stars. I returned refreshed and energized. I highly recommend this healthy, fun, cultural retreat!

Valeo retreat at the Valeo Villa in Dominican Republic was pure happiness! I met Asiya for the first time after watching her amazing YouTube dance fitness workout videos and it was over all my expectations:
The location with the amazing panoramic views,
The wonderful, healthy and balanced food,
The program every day and also the pleasure to meet amazing ladies from all over the world: Svetlana (Asiya’s mother), Susan and Paula!
Thank you for everything!!!

I loved the balance of pushing yourself and fitness classes to completely relaxing and laying by the pool. I left DR with a true fitfam and made memories that will last me a lifetime. I think I can speak for all the retreaters when I say all of us wanted to stay forever.

I’m in a constant high-stress corporate environment which contributed to many health problems over the years. I couldn’t ask for a better trip - excellent digital detox! Great people, great experience, great food and great location.

Being in my 60’s, getting diagnosed with cancer and finishing my first round of chemotherapy, I went with my daughter to chill out, but I ended up taking part in everything and loved it! There is no pressure to do anything, so I just did whatever I wanted. it was great freedom.

Several months prior to the retreat, I made a decision towards healthier sober lifestyle. This retreat was absolutely perfect to help create positive lifestyle changes that will last a lifetime (along with friendships). I truly felt like I was nourishing my body at every meal.
