Marisol Penner

Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Marisol has been a world class athlete her whole life from her youth when she was a junior national champion in Kyokushin karate. As a top-level cyclist and Ironman triathlete and also a champion powerlifter and bodybuilder, her mastery traversed both endurance and power sports – which rarely if ever occurs. In 2018 and again in 2019, at ages 53 and 54, after not having competed for more than 20 years, she entered and won the open category in the Miss Los Angeles bodybuilding competition.

Marisol has devoted her life to learning and teaching health and wellness, focusing on the intersection of physical strength and health, nutrition, and spiritual mindfulness. She has studied direction under such masters as Pavel Tsatsoulline, the pioneer of the global kettlebell movement, Charles Poliquin, one of the leading minds in power training, Paul Chek, a master in understanding the human body and mind, Deepak Chopra, one of the giants in spiritual teaching, and Anthony Robbins, the leader in inspirational motivation and personal responsibility. In addition to learning under these people and gaining their personal friendship, she also served as personal trainer to Deepak and Anthony, and to Barbra Streisand and many top professional athletes and civilians, all of whom were committed to bringing their strength, health, and mind-body connection to higher levels.

Marisol is married and together with her husband has raised five children. Besides her commitment to living a fit life, she also has passion for travel, food, spirituality, friends and family.

Natasha Teran

Natasha has been fascinated by the body’s ability to express through different arts since she was very young. She figured out early on that mastery would require perseverance and much discipline. She ventured in the world of dance as a tap dancer, and fitness as a personal trainer. In 2001 she got certified as a Bikram teacher and begun to study the origins of yoga which inspired her to pursue the certification in Ashtanga Yoga in 2002 with the first American to be authorized to teach this practice in the USA. Since then she has continued her studies, maturing her knowledge of various meditation techniques and breathing exercises. She took her first trip to India in 2011-2012, and had the honor and then to connect more deeply with this ancient practice. Today she is deeply dedicated to share her knowledge and experience through workshops and retreats worldwide.

Adrianna Castelazo

Adrianna Castelazo has always had a great interest in human development and inner growth, and this concern has taken her to experience and study different models. She has studied with some of the most important experts in the field of the mind body connection. Her studies have included Vedanta, the ancient philosophy of spirituality from India, Buddhism, and Primordial Sound Meditation. Adrianna has also studied different models of human behavior to learn tools than are helpful in resolving emotional conflicts that are subject to different beliefs to be able to have a more joyful inner life. She has been a relentless seeker and admirer of human nature and truly believes that everyone can reach a place within themselves where they can feel proud of who they are and be comfortable showing all shades by having total integrity to our true selves, including to our gender.

Testimonials

I met Marisol when I had severe back pain and she was the only solution. She taught me about core strength which no one else knew about and since my life required tremendous travel and intense pressure, the training she created and executed with me was literally life saving. I have told her this many times! Plus the absolute commitment she had to transform my body helped not only create a full healing of my back but I also learned from her the value of hard work and keeping your word. She is one of a kind and our friendship and workouts continue 2 decades later!
