Maria is originally from Guadalajara, Mexico. She has a passion for travel and has combined this with her love of yoga practicing wherever the wind takes her – Baja, Tulum, Guadalajara and now Troncones.

As a yoga practitioner since 2007, her first Mexican Guru, Lourdes Basich, helped to shape her yoga style. Maria then went on to complete her first teacher training with Briguitte Longueville, as the first ambassador of Restorative Yoga in Mexico in 2013. Following this extensive practice, Maria then began teaching in 2016. 

Maria has also been interested in other branches of yoga study including Shadow Yoga with Matt Pesendian and Scott Blossom in 2015, Acoroyoga  training also in 2015 and Solar and Lunar Immersion in Medellin, Colombia in 2016.

Her teachings are a mix of the different learning styles from her main teachers: Traditional Linages, Critical Alignment and energetic yoga practice. Maria’s restorative yoga classes are focused on MioFascial work and use of innovative yoga props such as BackMitra to release stiffness taking you to a deeper connection and understanding of the body, mind and spirit communication.

Maria has fallen in love with the perfect waves and the magic energy of our small Mexican paradise Troncones that she can now call “Home”.

Meet Adriana González Villa, a revered medicine woman and ordained interfaith minister whose life’s work is deeply rooted in the traditional healing medicines of Mexico. As an acupuncturist, musician, and yogini, Adriana brings a holistic approach to wellness, offering sound meditation, healing sessions, and facilitating transformative medicine ceremonies.

Adriana’s inclusive ministry is anchored in indigenous wisdom traditions, reflecting her dedication to honoring and preserving ancestral knowledge. Raised as a first-generation Chicana in the United States, Adriana holds dual citizenship with Mexico and the USA. Her journey of healing and reconnection began in her early years, growing up in a multicultural community in Houston, Texas. Despite facing rampant personal and institutionalized racism, she emerged with a profound commitment to social justice and cultural understanding.

At The University of Texas at Austin, Adriana pursued degrees in Cultural Anthropology and Ethnic Studies, working tirelessly with marginalized populations, including undocumented citizens, homeless communities, and incarcerated youth with disabilities. However, her path took a transformative turn through a profound spiritual initiation, leading her away from social justice law and toward the healing arts.

In 2013, Adriana repatriated to Mexico, where she founded a healing arts center on the southern Pacific coast. Her work at Present Moment Retreat, where she has been a beloved collaborator since 2014, focuses on guiding individuals through their healing journeys and fostering a deep connection to the land and ancestral ways.

Adriana is not only a dedicated healer but also a loving mother and wife, living in Troncones, Guerrero, with her family. Her personal experiences as a bi-cultural woman of color inform her empathetic approach to healing, making her an invaluable resource for those seeking holistic wellness and spiritual growth.

Rev. Adriana Maria González Villa continues to inspire and transform lives through her compassionate practice, inviting all to reconnect with their heritage and the sacred wisdom of their ancestors.

Ana Aguilar, known lovingly as Anita, is our newest addition to the Present Moment Retreat family. Originally from Guadalajara, Mexico, Anita’s journey has taken her across various landscapes and cultures, enriching her approach to yoga and life. Her diverse upbringing and six years of travel have provided her with a unique perspective, shaping her compassionate and inclusive teaching style.

With a background in biology, Anita’s deep understanding of anatomy and the body’s functions shines through in her practice. Since 2014, she has explored different yoga and meditation techniques, including mindfulness, and experienced her first vipassana retreat in Thailand in 2017—a pivotal moment that deepened her dedication to the path of yoga. Soon after, she traveled to India to become a certified yoga teacher, immersing herself in the wisdom of various inspiring teachers.

With seven years of teaching experience, Anita specializes in Hatha, Vinyasa, Restorative, and Yin yoga, as well as designing specific classes for surfers. Her goal is to create a welcoming and supportive space where each individual can explore their body, mind, and inner essence at their own pace. Anita believes that yoga is a powerful tool for achieving physical and emotional well-being, and she is eager to guide her students through their personal journeys.

When not on the mat, Anita finds joy in nature, surfing, and meditation, drawing inspiration from these practices to continually grow and learn. We invite you to join her for Yin Yoga on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at 4 pm, where she brings her gentle wisdom and vibrant energy to every class, helping students find peace and connection through this transformative practice.
