Casey Hearne

Owner/Instructor

Casey fell in love with El Salvador the moment she arrived. The laid-back lifestyle and gorgeous surroundings made it easy for her. She left the States and made Playa El Tunco her home and the home of Sunshine Yoga Retreats. She truly believes that yoga is for everyone and creates retreats to suit your needs.

Casey holds certifications in yoga, reiki, meditation, and mindfulness. Her goal is to make this holistic style accessible to everyone. She puts her heart and soul into her practice and teaching and strives to provide you with the best experience. She loves the life and business she has built in beautiful Playa El Tunco and is ready to share that with you. Come see for yourself!

Manuel Rivas

Surf Pro

Manuel is a native Salvadoran who has been on a board and in the water since he was a kid. He’s our local surf pro here to help you take your skills from the mat to the waves! He’s also an expert when it comes to mind-body connection and using that to dominate the waves. He is able to help you with balance, breathing, and core control and can guide you when it comes to incorporating your yoga skills with surfing. He is here to help you at any skill level! If you’re ready to experience all of Playa El Tunco then book our surf and yoga retreat and have a completely authentic experience by combining the two!
