Hi, I’m Citra, your guide.
The quest to find answers to deeper inquiries on purpose, lifestyle and balance found its culmination in leaving everything behind. I found myself on a journey in India, studying authentic Vedic literatures and Yogic paths. Following this experience, I arrived back in Holland. With fresh energy, passion and enthusiasm, I decided to share start my own company, "Vedic Essence," where I lead courses and share my learnings on Vedic and Yogic philosophy.

Hi, I’m Rabih, supporting the retreat experience
From the precision and discipline of aviation to the depth and wisdom of yoga, my journey has been guided by one constant compass: service through excellence.
I am Rabih, an E-RTY 500 certified yoga teacher trained in India, an educator, and a wellness leader with over 13 years of dedicated experience in yoga practice, teacher training, and holistic well-being. My background in aviation shaped my respect for structure, responsibility, and human safety—principles that now inform the way I teach, lead, and hold space on and off the mat.
Today, I serve as the International Director for the World Yoga Alliance (MENA region) and the founder of RAM Holistic Wellness Studio in Lebanon. My work spans studio leadership, large-scale wellness events, and professional teacher training programs, all rooted in integrity, accessibility, and conscious growth.
I am deeply committed to making yoga a lived practice—one that empowers individuals, strengthens communities, and bridges discipline with compassion.
