I really enjoyed my stay at the studio. Over the course of two weeks, I had the opportunity to teach several classes and lead a variety of activities, which made the experience very enriching. I was warmly welcomed by Luc and Andreza, as well as by all the students at the studio, who made me feel very welcome throughout my stay. It was a very positive experience, and I would highly recommend it!

It was a pleasure to have you with us, Diana! You brought a lot to Refúgio, not only through the classes and activities you offered, but also through your presence, responsibility, and genuine connection with our community. Your help was especially important during the days I was away, when you took on the activities and kept everything running very smoothly. Thank you for all the generosity, energy, and the beautiful exchanges. You will always be very welcome back! ❤️

Luc offers a very comfortable place where you can stay and relax, the experience with yoga classes is mean-full and people at the studio are friendly and welcoming. The city is safe to walk around the center and coffee shops, around Riberão Pires you can find beautiful places, like others cities as Paranapiacaba and nature. Thanks to the studio family.

We spent five days at Luc's place, we were able to attend the yoga classes and we helped prepare the room. Luc was welcoming and kind. In the house, we rarely ate together but everyone had their own space and the hosts were very respectful. Luc really enjoys sharing his passion for yoga. If you're interested, I recommend this experience.

Thank you for your visit and for your kind words. It was a pleasure to welcome you here at Refúgio and to share a little of our routine and the classes. I’m glad you were able to participate in the experience and get to know a bit of the space. I wish you a wonderful continuation of your trip!

A very beautiful place to volunteer! The experience of sharing moments with Luc in his yoga classes was truly incredible.
The task is fairly light, simply to take care of, prepare, and clean the room.
The only point to improve would be communication. As we arrived, we didn't quite understand how the place worked, and the same goes for the food.
But otherwise a really peaceful and enriching place.

Thank you for the visit and for the feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed the classes and the experience at Refúgio. I also appreciate the note about the communication — this kind of feedback always helps us improve how we present the way the house operates to future volunteers. I wish you all a great continuation of your journey!

The studio is a very special place, Luc has managed to create a very unique and special community that I will always carry in my heart. Luc offers many amenities in his home and it is a super comfortable and safe space. Ribeirão Pires is a very beautiful and safe place; I never felt unsafe, also very close to the train that can take you to São Paulo by simply taking a train and a metro. Luc is a very respectful man and enthusiastic about yoga and movement. And he always includes you in his plans and is very attentive to you. My experience was very good and I highly recommend this space and I am grateful for it.

A experiência no abrigo o estúdio foi uma das melhores que já tive. Luc é um homem maravilhoso, muito gentil, generoso, sempre disposto a compartilhar seu conhecimento; Luc preparou receitas deliciosas para nós e sempre se interessou em aprender sobre nossas culturas e nos mostrar um pouco da sua. A casa é muito bonita, cada um tinha seu espaço, organizada, limpa, com uma energia linda. Lá compartilhei com outros voluntários argentinos, com quem trocamos conhecimento, cultura e estilo de vida. As pessoas do abrigo são maravilhosas e amorosas. Eu me senti parte daquela linda comunidade.

Dear Vivi,
Having you here was a gift to the Refuge. Your sweetness, generosity and care shone through in every gesture — from the delicious flavors of your cooking to the conversations we had about culture, life and transformation.
We were so happy that you felt part of our community, because that is exactly how we live it here: as someone from the house, from the family and from the community.
The doors of the Refuge will always be open to you.
With affection,
Luc.
