Dinner like no other trip

In asian culture, a meal is never just about the food; it's about the connection we create when we gather at the table. Our dining experience is a celebration of community, of the immense effort that goes into sourcing the purest local ingredients, and of the love infused into their preparation. Each dish tells a story, offering a chance to slow down, share, and nourish ourselves in every sense of the word.

As a first-generation immigrant from Asia, I have a deep connection to the art of Chinese dining culture, where every meal is a sophisticated symphony of flavors and textures. Our retreat’s dining experience is a tribute to this philosophy. We honor the journey of each ingredient, from its careful sourcing to its thoughtful preparation. You'll taste the sophisticated skill in every bite, experiencing a "mixology of flavours" where tradition and innovation meet to create something truly extraordinary.

Local Adventure & Hidden Gems

This journey into the local culture includes a walk through a vibrant morning market to experience the authentic pulse of the city. We will also spend time exploring a beautiful historic street, appreciating the stories of the past. Finally, a special surprise workshop will offer a unique opportunity to engage with local traditions in a meaningful and memorable way.

Hi, I’m Evelyn

For the past decade, my life has been a tapestry of global exploration and internal movement. Living across three continents and wandering through over 40 countries, I’ve learned that the most profound travel isn't just about the destination—it’s about how we inhabit our bodies and nervous systems along the way.

A Journey of 3,000 Hours

I’ve woven my ten years of experience and over 3,000 hours of teaching into a unique wellness alchemy. With over 1,000 hours of multidisciplinary training, I specialize in intelligent, functional sequencing designed to improve body function and regulate the nervous system.

  • Rocket Vinyasa: To build strength and restore vibrant energy.

  • Restorative Yin: To hold a nourishing, quiet space for oneself.

  • Effective Sequencing: Targeted movement to support "real bodies" during travel and beyond.

The Heart of Our Yotopia

Having hosted over 100 wellness events, I’ve been privileged to witness guests find transformative growth and deep restoration in the spaces we build together. I created Our Yotopia to be more than a retreat business; it is a tribe where my passion for culture, art, and sensory discovery meets a decade of professional wellness expertise.

It is my greatest honor to weave these global stories into your unique retreat, inviting you to experience an energy that is as nourishing as it is adventurous.
