Amidst this hustle, finding a sanctuary where you can truly nurture your mind, body, and soul is like finding a hidden gem.
Discovering True Self-Care
In April and May ’24, I joined Paulina’s Wellness Sanctuary and was so impressed that I had to share my experience with you.
In Paulina’s Wellness Sanctuary, self-care isn’t just an occasional treat but a fundamental part of your everyday life. With a diverse range of offerings, including yoga classes, meditation sessions, supportive community circles, and much more, Paulina encourages you to prioritize your well-being and connect deeply with yourself.

Paulina believes in and encourages you to cultivate well-being in every moment. Her sessions are not limited to the mat but spread throughout your daily life. Her holistic approach nurtures your mind, body, and soul through self-care practices, reflection, journaling, meditation, and gentle movement styles. With her guidance, you experience a deep sense of inner peace and balance every day.
The Self-Care and Wellness Sessions That I’ve Joined:
Yoga (in person)
Self-Care Yoga Class – 90min Move & Rest
Every last Friday of the month, there is a 90-minute yoga class that combines Vinyasa and Restorative Yoga. The one I attended was amazing. It left me refreshed and rejuvenated, it was the perfect blend of stimulating movement and deep relaxation.
Yoga Class in English with After-Class Tea
The 60-minute class was a powerful mix of meditation and pranayama. We worked on balance, strength, and flexibility.
Yoga Class in English and Group Dinner
This 60-minute class was focused on mindful and therapeutic Vinyasa-inspired yoga, a mix of meditation and pranayama. We worked on the connection between body, mind, and soul. After class, we all had dinner. And oh boy, what a beautiful evening that was!
Meditation (video calls)
For me, it was a “discovering something very valuable” experience, as it was the first time I had meditated with someone I am familiar with and have a connection with. It was a different experience in a positive way. And I learned how to journal.
Monthly Community Circle (video calls)
I really enjoyed the Monthly Community Circles at the Wellness Sanctuary. We focused on a different topic each month and discussed our feelings and experiences while offering support. In one session about joy, we talked about finding joy in everyday life. During the Nervous System Healing session, we learned about breathing techniques and how to manage our nervous system. These sessions were full of valuable knowledge and care.
Self-Care Circle (video calls)
I enjoyed attending these sessions as much as I enjoyed attending Monthly Community Circles. The intimate gatherings allowed us to share and connect on physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational well-being. The small group size ensured everyone received attention while still allowing for diverse perspectives.
Cacao & Sound Circle Connection (in person)
Ceremonial Cacao is a special kind of Cacao that is distinct from regular cocoa. It is a heart-opening medicine rich in magnesium and antioxidants. In the Cacao Circle at Paulina’s home, we reconnected with ourselves, honored Mayan wisdom, and expressed gratitude for nature’s teachings and our souls. This experience was followed by a sound meditation, which helped us switch off and fall into deep relaxation. It was the first time for me, but certainly not the last!
Every session I’ve attended was designed for different aspects of well-being, from restorative yoga to mindful meditation. Paulina’s diverse offerings provide a comprehensive framework for self-care, using yoga therapy and trauma-informed techniques to guide you toward greater self-awareness and empowerment.
Here, I share a more detailed review of all the sessions I’ve attended:
Fostering Community and Connection
At the heart of Paulina’s Wellness Sanctuary lies a warm and open community built on principles of connection, support, and acceptance. Through regular community and self-care circles, members come together to share their experiences, pieces of advice, wins, and challenges. It’s a space where judgment is replaced by understanding, and vulnerability is celebrated as a sign of strength. Here, you’re not just a participant – you are part of a family – a supportive network that uplifts and inspires you on your journey toward well-being.
I liked Paulina’s space so much that I decided to interview her and share all the goodness with you. Here’s what she says about her life journey, self-care offerings, and the community she’s growing:
Expanding Wellness Experience Beyond the Mat
What truly sets Paulina’s services apart is her unwavering commitment to her members’ well-being, both on and off the mat.

It’s this ongoing support that transforms self-care from a class once a week into a shared path toward greater self-awareness and fulfillment.
Embracing Acceptance and Self-Love
In Paulina’s Wellness Sanctuary, acceptance isn’t just a concept – it’s a way of being. Here, you’re invited to embrace your authentic self fully, free from judgment or expectation. Paulina creates a safe space where vulnerability is praised and self-love is nurtured. Regardless of where you are on your wellness journey, Paulina meets you with compassion and understanding, providing a safe, judgment-free environment without comparison. It’s a space where authenticity thrives – a sanctuary where you’re celebrated for exactly who you are.
The Power of Intentional Living:
Through Paulina’s guidance, you will come to realize that self-care is not a collection of unrelated practices but, instead, a way of life that you intentionally and purposefully live. Every aspect of your life, from your practice on the yoga mat to the thoughts you cultivate in your mind, can be an opportunity to practice self-care and mindfulness. It’s a change in mindset that empowers you to take control of your actions and create a life that aligns with your deepest values and ambitions.

My Biggest Takeaway
My biggest takeaway from spending time with Paulina is once again proving to myself that self-care is not an occasional practice. It is an everyday and every-moment practice – it is an intentional lifestyle. And even though I knew it, it was good to be reminded that taking care of myself and feeling love for myself has a positive impact not only on me but on those around me, too.
I am taking away very valuable practices learned, such as journaling and pranayama. I have already started to apply these practices and can see unbelievable results! I now know how to care for myself more, appreciate myself more, and love myself more.
Thank you, Paulina, for a beautiful experience.
