Jackson Smeltzer
Jackson began practicing yoga in 2012. As a youngster, he was an adrenaline junkie and extreme sports enthusiast, but after two and a half decades of abuse, his stiff and damaged body was ready for some healing. Originally he preferred to practice Astanga yoga but he eventually became more attracted to yin yoga. In 2017 he completed his 200-hour certification and in 2019 a 50-hour yin yoga course with Bernie Clark. He currently resides in Montanita where he is happy to share his love of yoga with fellow yogis and yoginis at Casa del Sol.
She Cevallos
I am originally from Cuenca, in the South of the Andes in Ecuador where I started to practice Yoga, 20 years ago. I have spent the last 11 years living on the coast where I did my Yoga teacher training. Since then I have been teaching Yoga. I moved to the coast because I was being called by the beauty of the ocean, the waves. So, I became a surfer 11 years ago, and since then I have been improving my surfing, especially longboard.
Oswaldo Borbor
I was born in Montanita and started surfing at the age of 9. I have a strong connection with the ocean. The ocean is my home. I have been the Ecuadorian longboard champion for over 10 years and still competing.
