Who Are We?

Sandra Moreno

Born in Colombia, Sandra moved to the US at a young age, where she later built a successful career in aviation. As a devoted mother of three, Sandra eventually felt a strong desire to reconnect with her roots and returned to her homeland. Guided by her dreams and intuition, she founded Madre Cocoon retreats last year, creating a sacred space for transformative ceremonies and community building.

Sandra is an internationally acclaimed Yoga teacher with over fifteen years of experience, having taught in the US, Europe, and Japan. Her deep passion for breathing, which she believes is the essence of life, makes Yoga accessible to everyone. According to Sandra, if you can breathe, you can practice Yoga.

Yoga has been instrumental in Sandra’s personal transformation and growth, a journey she shares with her children, who are also dedicated practitioners. She has enriched her practice through numerous workshops and classes in Miami, L.A., and New York, with Gaia Budhai being her most inspiring mentor.

Join Sandra at Madre Cocoon retreats and embark on a life-changing journey in a sacred space designed for profound healing and community connection. Discover the power of Yoga and breathwork with an expert who truly understands the path to inner peace and transformation.

Laura - Mai Edwards

Laura-Mai Edwards found herself anchoring her identity solely on her job, rather than who she was at the root - disconnecting her from her ability to recognise her own authentic capabilities and motivations. The disconnection led to a series of mental health issues which impacted her life significantly. 

 

Through her dedication to nurturing self-discovery and personal growth, Laura-Mai founded Root Beginnings which combines holistic methods of mind-body coaching, yoga & breathwork; and offers workshops & retreats. Through powerful mind-body techniques, her mission is to create intentional space for transformative journeys of self-discovery and deeper connection. 

 

Laura-Mai’s vision is to create a global community of individuals who are deeply connected and inspired by their authentic selves, empowering and supporting each other throughout the journey.

Laura is also a member of the Yoga Alliance https://directory.yogaallianceprofessionals.org/england/london/yoga-teacher/laura-edwards

 

As part of the price of the retreat, you'll get x1 60 min coaching session before the retreat and x1 60 minute session afterwards. 

Immerse yourself in the lush landscapes of Santa Elena, a serene haven nestled above Medellin in South America. Discover the transformative power of space and deep inner connection as you cocoon, nourish, and evolve. Shed old habits and untangle the complexities of overwhelm with nature as your guide, reigniting your passion for life with newfound flow and resilience. Our all-inclusive package offers personalized life coaching support before and after your retreat, ensuring a lasting journey of transformation and self-discovery.

Maloka

The Maloka is the heart of Madre Cocoon, the place to practice Yoga, and to connect with our inner  wisdom. It's built with traditional materials and techniques used by the indigenous peoples of Colombia throughout the centuries. Malokas are traditionally used for communal gatherings, ceremonies, and as a place for sharing knowledge.

Maloka Room

The Maloka Room is situated beneath the Maloka. It boasts breathtaking views of El Valle de San Nicolás and is ideal for retreats, family stays, and hosting events or retreats. Accommodating up to 5 people, its strategic location facilitates guests' participation in activities taking place in the Maloka.

Cabin in the Woods

This cozy two-story wooden cabin has a capacity for four people. Perfect for couples' getaways and family weekends, this cabin offers comfort and peace in the heart of the mountain. Give yourself a rest from the city and sleep surrounded by the harmonious nature of Santa Elena.

Sauna and Cold Plunge

We have a natural spring water cold plunge and a sauna right next to the forest.

These therapies help you detoxify and relax while training your mind to endure physical challenges such as high and low temperatures.

It's a great way to start or end the day..
