"Zēnses is born from a shared conviction: that being completely present — in the body, in the senses, in this very instant — is the most transformative act there is."
Santiago Isola & Isabella Frías · Zēnses
Isabella Frías and Santiago Isola met where discipline and joy converge. Different trainings, one shared conviction: real transformation happens when body, mind and soul work together — not in isolation.

@santyisola
Holistic Mentor · Movement & Consciousness
Santiago Isola is a multidisciplinary professional and holistic mentor focused on the integration of movement and consciousness. As a certified instructor of Animal Flow and Yoga, his approach is rooted in the balance of the four pillars: Mind, Body, Emotion and Soul.
His practice explores the dialogue between ancestral wisdom and contemporary movement, using somatic disciplines as a bridge between the material and the energetic. Movement, for him, is not only physical exercise — it is a path to awaken new levels of consciousness and reconnect with the authentic nature of each person.
In his sessions he guides individuals to rediscover their innate strength and fluidity, with a focus on presence and conscious breathing — beyond perceived limitations, towards a state of inner alignment.

@groundwithisa
Yoga Instructor · Meditation & Sound Healing
Isabella is a certified yoga instructor with a focus on Vinyasa and Yin yoga, incorporating meditation and sound healing as complementary and standalone practices.
Her teaching is rooted in intention, presence and a deep appreciation for slowness — not just within practice, but as a way of moving through life. She believes that by slowing down we find clarity and peace, creating the space to genuinely listen to the body and reconnect with ourselves.
She creates spaces where you can step away from comparison and be guided by your own rhythm, intuition and inner experience. An invitation to a space where identity softens — guiding you not by who you think you are, but by what you feel.
Zēnses is grounded in one conviction: true wellbeing is not an isolated practice — it is the dynamic balance between the mind that thinks, the heart that feels, the body that acts, and the soul that remembers who you are.
Mente
Beliefs, patterns, architecture of thought. The mind that designs — or limits — your reality.
Cuerpo
The living instrument. Movement, breath, vitality. The body that remembers what the mind forgot.
Emoción
The intelligence of the heart. Processing, releasing, feeling fully. The emotion unlived becomes a burden.
Alma
The connection with something greater. Purpose and essence that exists beyond the ego.
In the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, nutrition extends far beyond the plate. Everything that enters through the senses — a sound, a color, a touch, a scent — becomes part of who we are. At Zēnses, we design every detail of the retreat experience with this understanding at its core.
In the practice of Yoga, we learn that our bodies are temples of perception. The quality of what we take in through our senses shapes our inner state as profoundly as any food we eat.
We immerse in natural beauty — color, light, organic form — to restore the nervous system's sense of harmony.
From silence to frequencies: the rhythm of waves, crystal bowls, mantras — vibrations that reorganize inner space.
Grounding energy through conscious movement, breathwork, and the warmth of human presence.
Nourishment through prana-rich foods — alive, seasonal, prepared with intention.
Sacred herbs, essential oils and the scent of earth after rain — aromas that anchor memory and awaken presence.
The tools and experiences offered at Zēnses are not just practices for the retreat — they are invitations to realign your daily life. To bring the sensory richness of this time back into the ordinary, and let it become extraordinary.
"To feed the senses with consciousness
is to feed the spirit with freedom."
Nourish your senses, refine your vibration,
and allow your life to become a living meditation.
A union of presences.
One shared purpose.
Some places aren't chosen. They find you.
Careyes is one of them. The Pacific, the jungle, a private villa
steps from the water. A place where silence has weight
and nature isn't decoration — it is the work itself.
Four days to breathe, move the body and connect with people
who chose exactly the same thing you did.
Breathwork, Yoga, Animal Flow, Meditation, Ritual.
And the kind of conversations that only happen when the noise stops.
There is no role to perform here.
Only the experience of being completely present.

We don't teach techniques. We create conditions for transformation to occur naturally, deeply and lastingly. Every retreat, every session, every shared breath is an invitation to return to essence.
"This path is the reflection of who we choose to be. The embodied transformation of those who believed, dared and trusted. Joyful, authentic beings who embrace life and create their own reality. A gift to ourselves — and to those who come after."
