La Casa Surya, Freediving & Yoga school

Amazing experience, we did a 1-week freediving adventure with la Casa Surya and it was exceptional! Sabrina is a great teacher, combining Yoga and Freediving, to provide the most thoughtful guidance I have ever seen. She really cares about her students and genuinely try to help everyone progress, but also enjoy and have a good time. Her knowledge of Tulum and the region has been a great advantage during the whole week, and she passionately shares her experience. I more than highly recommend La Casa Surya, for any freediving/Yoga experience, for both beginners looking to dive/discover but also advanced levels wanting the train and improve. Thanks again Sabrina for this beautiful week!

Freediving with Sabrina in January 2026 was a transformative experience. I first learned how to freedive in the late 1990's and never took a real certification course. I THOUGHT I knew what I was doing. I learned SO MUCH from Sabrina - she opened my eyes to so many things about freediving I never knew. She combines the best of both worlds from yoga and apnea to give you an experience like no other. You won't find a better coach or teacher. And she'll give you some great recommendations for food and activities in and around Tulum.

If you have any interest in learning the best practices in freediving, Sabrina if the best instructor you could ask for! She prioritizes safety, technique, relaxation techniques; she is a truly exceptional teacher and guide. Patient, knowledgeable, professional, and a kind person. Her studio and the equipment provided are impeccable. You have options for learning freediving in the area, but this is the best place to learn and a gift to give yourself.

I recently completed the Wave 1 Molchanova course with Sabrina and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Sabrina's attention to detail is exceptional. She takes the time needed to ensure that every technique is mastered, never rushing through the process. The course had a perfect balance between theory and practice, with morning sessions dedicated to theory and video analysis, and afternoons spent practicing in the water. One of the highlights was diving deep in a beautiful cenote (pit) alongside scuba divers, truly an unforgettable experience. By the end of the course, I felt confident in my foundations and excited to continue my freediving journey. Thank you, Sabrina, for your patience and dedication – it made all the difference!

For years, I had been dreaming about Freediving. I thought it would be a perfect practice which would combine nicely my love for the underwater world, my personal practice of yoga and meditation. In 2014, I did a course in Thailand which ended up being slightly traumatic and definitely frustrating as I could not equalize the pressure in my ears and had to quit the course. 8 years later, I am so grateful to have contacted Sabrina of Casa Surya. From the beginning of our communication, Sabrina was the most attentive and supportive guide offering me tips and exercises to understand better the mechanisms of equalization. I had already gained some confidence before starting our first in person Freediving day in Tulum. We went to two very unique cenotes. In the morning, we worked more on technical training with free immersion on the line. Sabrina helped me to find more ease with the equalization and gave me a lot of great pointers to help my very poor duck dive technique. Even if there was a lot to integrate, I never felt overwhelmed and could enjoy every moment. We had a short but helpful yoga session at her studio before going to the water which, I believe, helped setting the tone for the day. We were only two students with different levels but as we alternated the practice while the other was resting, it felt more or less like a one on one instruction. We had a very comfortable lunch break back at Casa Surya studio with a pretty yummy healthy meal. Then, the afternoon was more of a fun dive session in an extremely beautiful cenote where the mangroves offer a great habitat for a diverse fauna. Still, Sabrina kept giving us helpful pointers while taking videos of our dives in idyllic spots. It was truly magical and inspiring. After this discovery day, I decided to take the level 1 course. It is offered as 5 half days instead of 2 (sometimes 3 days) advertised by other companies. I know that I personally can learn and integrate better at a slow pace. I am looking forward to be in the magical cenotes again soon. I definitely recommend Casa Surya for whoever wants to experience Freediving!
