"The highlight of my summer 2024 was stumbling upon Marina and TAO AZUL, and attending her yoga classes during my stay in Nerja. As I was spending a few weeks on vacation in Nerja, as I do every year, I saw a poster as if it was a calling and I went. I found a paradise as a setting, the sea with palm trees, and the waves just in front, a voice in the background, Marina's voice, that touches you. They are very special yoga classes; I had done yoga in the gym before and it's nothing like it. With Marina, you reach your 'inner self' with the benefits that yoga exercises provide. Her meditation classes along with the narratives of each class were very beneficial. I felt like she had tailored them just for me. Both the classes on the beach and those held at the center are beneficial, due to the energy that Marina transmits and the combination of exercises that are given. Next year I will sign up for the package with the maximum number of sessions. I suggested to Marina: "Come to my city and continue with me throughout the year, as this type of class is needed to face the day-to-day," to which she wisely replied: "Just as you have found us, you will find your place wherever you are." Marina is a very complete woman, both intellectually and personally. When I'm overwhelmed, I remember the chant from the first week, which will be my soundtrack to remind me of you, Marina, and your students, whom I will also carry within me, for how they welcomed me, what they received me, and for the personal depth they have. I've taken a long time to write this review, but Marina's treatment and the benefits of her classes deserve more details. I'll leave one of my memories, which I hum from time to time and it serves to transport me to that cove in Nerja, surrounded by my companions, under the background voice of Marina and the waves of the sea. "I have arrived, I am already home, in the here and now, I am solid, I am free, in myself I take refuge."

Celia, I am incredibly grateful for your willingness to answer the call of life that led you to us and to share with me, with us, with an open heart. Your words have deeply moved me. I am filled with joy to have been able to create a space together where we can share, receive, and simply 'be,' following the teachings of the masters, through the precious tool of yoga, with its asanas, meditation, and everything that arises in the present moment. I am deeply grateful for everything that enriches our classes: the sound of the waves, the birdsong, the awareness of the group, our voices merging into one, and the flow in the postures, each with its own possibilities. I feel deeply grateful.
