About this trip

Escape with Esther Collinetti, Co-Founder of REV Cycle Studio and Founder of YOU Unleashed, to Lake Atitlan, a stunning crater lake located in the heart of Guatemala.


This retreat will provide you with the perfect opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of city life, take spin classes overlooking majestic volcanoes (how cool is that!?), all while connecting with yourself and your new tribe. 


Your trip begins with an overnight stay in the colonial city of Antigua, where the group will gather. We will then make our way to Lomas de Tzununa, a lakefront hotel with a relaxing vibe, stunning views of Lake Atitlan, and your personal spin studio!


This retreat is aimed towards self-care, deep-connections, igniting courage, sweating once a day, and expanding on your 2020 vision and goals. Days by the lake will be filled with sunrise or sunset spin classes led by Esther, as well as core / full body workouts, and mindful stretching. Esther will also offer one open water swim practice at the lake for those interested in learning techniques of open water swimming for your next triathlon race. This retreat will feature YOU Unleashed Workshops to identify your core values, your why in life, and your fears that hold you back in order to chart a path to unleash your most badass self.  


You will also enjoy locally sourced meals, and plenty of time for relaxation amongst the stunning hillside grounds of Lomas de Tzununa and Lake Atitlan. Our hotel features an on-site pool, temazcal sauna, and restaurant / lounge area, all available for you.  


Your week will include plenty of opportunities for kayaking, hiking, paddle boarding, horseback riding, zip lining, as well as on-site cooking classes and volunteering at a local preschool. Boat rides are readily available to visit neighboring villages and experience local food, markets, and some of the best textile and arts shopping in Central America.


Come experience Guatemala with an amazing group of people. A non-refundable deposit of $500 is required to reserve your space on this retreat.

We truly had a fantastic time. It was wonderful to meet so many supportive people, the yoga everyday was incredible and exactly what was needed. Both Autumn and Sallie were outstanding and truly understand the art of yoga and shared so much of their knowledge with us. The food served for all meals was delicious and abundant. All staff at the resort were very nice. Enjoyed the activities and the calmness at the resort. This trip definitely fulfilled what I needed

I had a great time. It was my first trip to Central America, and adjusting to its rustic nature took some time. Overall, it was amazing. The Lake is special and beautiful, and the entire area was terrific. The Mayan people are so kind and full of joy!
