About Us
About us
We are the ocean’s call and the breath of stillness.
Lume Retreat was born from a dream — the dream of sharing the magic that happens when the ocean, yoga, and human connection come together. For us, surfing is more than riding waves, and yoga is more than movement. They are ways of opening the heart, quieting the mind, and finding joy in the present moment.
Wherever we gather, our intention is the same: to create a space where people can let go of routine, embrace nature’s beauty, and connect deeply — with themselves, with others, and with the world around them.
We believe that true transformation happens when you step into the unknown with an open spirit. At Lume Retreat, every sunrise, every wave, and every shared smile becomes part of a memory that you’ll carry forever.
Marissa is a passionate yoga teacher, sound healing facilitator, and lifelong traveler who believes in creating experiences that nourish both the body and soul. Her teaching style blends vinyasa flow with elements of mindful movement and breathwork, making her classes accessible for all levels — from beginners stepping onto the mat to seasoned yogis seeking to deepen their practice.
When she’s not teaching, you’ll find Marissa surfing San Diego’s waves, exploring new corners of the world, or sailing the California coast. Her love for travel and adventure brings a unique energy to her classes, inviting students to embrace presence, connection, and playfulness throughout their journey.
At the retreat, Marissa will guide you through two daily yoga sessions, complemented by restorative sound healing experiences designed to help you release, reset, and reconnect. Her goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can move freely, breathe deeply, and leave feeling refreshed and inspired.
Natascha Ferroni is a body researcher, a woman of the sea and of movement. Teacher, physiotherapist, doula, and mother, she brings with her over fifteen years of practice and teaching.
At Lume Retreat, she will guide a unique experience to awaken presence, pleasure & power.
By uniting three paths — Yoga as foundation and center, Dance as expression and pleasure, and Training as strength and power — the Living Body practice emerges. This approach ignites a state of the body on fire: conscious, energized, and free.
It is an immersion to rekindle vital fire, release the flow of pleasure, and expand authentic expression.
Lume Retreat was born from a dream I’ve carried for many years: to create experiences that go far beyond just a trip or a retreat. As a surfer and yoga practitioner, I discovered that true balance comes when we are connected to nature, our bodies, and a community that shares the same values of health, connection, and well-being.
My purpose with Lume Retreat is to offer a space where each person can reconnect with their essence, experience the energy of the ocean, the peace of yoga, and the strength of community. I want every retreat to be an opportunity for transformation: simple, yet powerful moments that stay in the heart and memory forever.
This is my dream: to illuminate paths through surf, yoga, and human connection, so that every participant leaves not only with beautiful memories but also with a new way of living life.
