ANNA VANZANI
With an incisive curiosity and after achieving her MBA degree, Anna co-founded two of start-up companies in Mexico and Canada. It wasn’t long after that Anna felt a higher calling and changed her life path completely.
Anna immersed herself in yoga. Her travels led her to India where she became certified in Ashtanga-Vinyasa and discovered the ancient holistic science of Ayurveda. Her quest to further her studies in it took her to Indonesia and Costa Rica where she completed her training in 500 hr Ayur-yoga, pranayama, and meditation.
Anna then studied the science and benefits behind proper breathing with Dr. Belisa Vranich becoming a Breathing class certified instructor supporting hundreds of people correct and improving their breathing patterns.
Anna has been a yoga practitioner for over 10 years, teaching full-time for 5 years, and she is the co-founder of Atma Yoga in Mexico City. Her practice and classes exemplify the subtle balance between body, mind, and spirit. She has organized and led over 10 retreats and the Oasis at Careyes will be her top experience in 2023, surely second to none.
LESLIE DURSO
After starring on a hit TV show, Leslie took her love of education and shifted from science to plant-based food. After establishing herself as a private chef for the NYC and Hollywood elite, Leslie emerged as a public persona hosting cooking segments on television and online.
