Come as you are, connect back to your heart, and the highest version of yourself

The slow down of 2020 awakened a need to reexamine and recalibrate our hearts. Did you feel it too? The need to call in a deeper connection with yourself. A need for a space to heal and for self-care. I answered that call and I was led to the Riviera Maya. I dreamt of a place to go for healing, nature, and comfort.

So much clarity and healing has come.
I wish nothing more than to share this sanctuary with you.

This is a very personal offering. This land and the walls of this home have become a sanctuary. You will leave this retreat, feeling more whole, more yourself, and with wonderful memories and friendships.

Women often put themselves last on the priority list. The intention of these retreats is to "come home to yourself". This is your chance to embark on a MAGICAL JOURNEY in a safe space for self-discovery and truth. Leap into the unknown, let loose, and put your needs first.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you feel unconnected to others and yourself? It's time to take a leap of faith, it's time to choose yourself.

Meet Sandra – A Journey of Heart, Healing & Home

Sandra Zatezalo’s journey began with courage. Leaving home at just 15 and gracing the cover of French Vogue by 16, she followed a path of reinvention that ultimately led her not just to worldly success— but to profound spiritual purpose.

Casa Sanara was born from a dream: a sanctuary where women could reconnect with their bodies, hearts, and highest selves. Piece by piece, she manifested it—a sacred space infused with warmth, beauty, and healing energy.

A devoted mother of three and a natural nurturer, Sandra creates intimate, soul-led retreats that combine adventure, restoration, and personal transformation. When you step into her space, you’re not just a guest — you’re family.

A Sacred Space.
A Gentle Guide.
A Journey Back to You.

Sandra is a certified RYT-200 yoga instructor, meditation and breathwork coach, and Reiki healer. Her approach is intuitive, compassionate, and deeply grounded in creating safety and soul-level connection.

Morning sessions begin with all-level gentle Vinyasa yoga under the sky, while evenings invite you inward — through reflection, boundaries work, sound healing, or guided inner journeying. Afternoon sessions may offer nourishing self-care or magical excursions to awaken your senses.

Her retreats are never about doing more— they’re about being more. About choosing yourself. And returning to the truth of who you are.

Happy Guests

Wanted to do something special for my sobriety anniversary. The limited # of guests, self-care, spiritual healing. Sandra and her Team did not disappoint. The women, the music, the companionship, the gorgeuos venue and delicious Food. I partook in multiple rituals and ceremonies which left me feeling awake, refreshed, clear minded, enlightened and truly happy. This was the most amazing retreat. The other women were incredible and inspiring. Our host, Sandra, had an exciting itinerary for every day. When we had to stray from a daily excursion it was always to take advantage of an even greater experience. Amazing, Magical and Spiritually enlightening. Our wonderful host owns Casa Sanara, a beautiful home for healing and spiritual rebirth. Thank you Sandra, I will see you again!!

Highly recommend Sandra's retreat! An incredible experience! Beautiful home, nourishing food, lovely yoga, fun excursions, delightful connections. Very very healing. Full of Expansive Joy and Love!

— Kathy

Paradise and Peace I needed self-care, nourishment, relaxation, and a break from my hectic paced life. It was the perfect blend of connecting with others, fun activities, amazing food, and doing my own meditative journey. It was guided and put together so expertly and lovingly by the founder. I felt renewed, stronger, and braver and felt empowered by the connections that were made. I have changed my eating habits since coming back and daily rituals by making time for myself and resting/centering myself more. It was worth every moment and I didn't want to leave at the conclusion.

I attended the retreat in January. WOW!! What a magical week. Every day some special treat or adventure. Sandra does a fabulous job of making each guest feel seen.
