OUR MISSION
At HIYÄM Wellness Living, our mission is to elevate the world of wellness through presence, artistry, and sacred simplicity. We create refined sanctuaries where the soul, body, and mind can recalibrate, not through excess, but through intention, beauty, and depth.
Rooted in over two decades of martial arts, yoga, and global hospitality, our work dissolves the idea of a retreat as a fixed program. Instead, we offer a ritual journey of remembrance, a luminous return to your essence.
Luxury, for us, is presence.
It is found in the silence between two breaths,
in movement that awakens resonance,
in a tea shared with intention,
in rituals that reconnect you to what is true.
Each experience we design, from intimate tailor-made retreats to private mentorships, is crafted with precision, grace, and soul.
All this beauty is infused with Epicurean values: care, slowness, nourishment, and sensory pleasure. Gastronomy becomes a conscious art, movement becomes a language, and stillness becomes a sanctuary.
We believe in a form of luxury that heals, feeds, and elevates.
A curated life where wellness meets craftsmanship,
where transformation flows organically,
and where presence becomes a way of being.
HIYÄM Wellness Living exists to awaken luminosity, cultivate inner harmony, and celebrate the profound wonder of being alive.
WHAT SETS US APART
The Art of Tailor-Made Transformation
HIYÄM Wellness Living stands apart through the elegance and authenticity of its approach: nothing is standardized, and everything is artisanal, born from lived experience long before wellness became a formula.
Co-Creation as a Philosophy
We do not offer a program, we offer a return to self.
Each journey is tailor-made not only for you, but with you.
Guests co-create their sanctuary with us, shaping a retreat aligned with their rhythm, intention, and season of life.
Off-the-Map Destinations & Nature’s Quiet Power
Transformation does not happen in the crowd.
It happens in clarity, nature, and intimacy.
From Bocas del Toro, Panama, the birthplace of our retreats, to secluded bays in French Polynesia and curated villas across the world, we intentionally choose rare, untamed places where presence can expand and truth can surface.
A Nomadic Maison Born at Sea
HIYÄM Wellness Living was born on a sailing vessel, guided by tides, winds, and the freedom of movement.
This nomadic spirit infuses everything we create, a life crafted with fluidity, presence, and luminous simplicity.
Epicurean Nourishment
Gastronomy is an elevated art form within our retreats.
We honour care, slowness, nourishment, and sensory pleasure, where every meal becomes a ritual of beauty and presence.
Slow Luxury & Sacred Simplicity
Our work balances intention, artistry, elegance, and depth.
We create sanctuaries of quiet power, private villas in the jungle, hidden islands, luminous cliffside havens, where guests reconnect with their essence.
The HIYÄM Circle
Our work balances intention, artistry, elegance, and depth.
We create sanctuaries of quiet power, private villas in the jungle, hidden islands, luminous cliffside havens, where guests reconnect with their essence.

WHY THE WORD CIRCLE
WHY CIRCLE
The word Circle carries sacred weight. Across centuries and cultures, circles have represented unity, equality, connection, and the rhythm of life itself.
To step into the HIYÄM Circle is to step into a sacred space elegant, intentional, and curated. A place where transformation, beauty, and ritual intertwine.
In a world of rush and performance, the Circle becomes a sanctuary. A slow, intentional place of belonging and return.
It is inclusive: everyone is seen, held, honored.
It is cyclical: echoing the rhythm of nature, the moon, and inner evolution.
It is intimate: designed not for the masses, but for the soul-ready few.
It is magnetic: a gathering of aligned hearts and seekers of truth.
Whether you join as Signature, Elixir, or VIP Legacy, you are welcomed into a living field of presence, subtle power, and beauty.
This is not a subscription. This is a devotion. This is not a program. This is a circle.

OCTOBER 2021 & NOVEMBER 2021 TWO AMAZING CORPORATE RETREATS BACK TO BACK
Bluff Beach, Panama in October & November 2021
Love lives in Bocas del Toro, where the lush rainforest kisses the Caribbean on one side and the North Pacific on the other. It was in this untamed corner of the world, at the hidden sanctuary of Bluff Beach Retreat, that HIYÄM hosted a month-long sacred immersion. With its modern architecture, private pool, and open-air shed facing the wild ocean, this jungle-fringed haven offered a rare fusion of raw beauty and refined solitude. Movement, stillness, firelit evenings and barefoot rituals unfolded in harmony with the sea. For those who crossed its threshold, it wasn’t just a retreat it was a threshold into self-love, simplicity, and soul.

In early 2022, we welcomed a woman in deep transition, exhausted, seeking silence, and longing for herself.

BIO HIYÄM JABAK
Hiyäm, Artist of Movement, Wellness Visionary
Hiyäm is a woman of vision, depth, and devotion. For over two decades, she has embodied a profound, integrated approach to movement, where ancient martial traditions, yoga, meditation, and conscious living converge.
At 18, she discovered Muay Thai, the traditional martial art of Thailand, and went on to become the first female Muay Thai instructor in Quebec, and the second in Canada. In 2011, she followed her intuition and moved to Thailand to live her dream. There, amidst temples, monks, silence, and sacred rituals, a new path revealed itself: meditation, yoga, and inner alignment.
Upon returning to Montreal, she pursued formal yoga teacher training under Sylvie Tremblay, beginning a journey of continuous learning. She has since completed over 1,000 hours of advanced training, including in India, and more recently in therapeutic healing yoga, developing an intuitive and somatic approach to care.
With rare mastery of both the body and presence, Hiyäm transmits the Art of Movement as a living ritual in private retreats, corporate immersions, and bespoke wellness journeys that awaken clarity, strength, and grace.
Passionate about tea, elegance, and sensory beauty, Hiyäm also spent over 20 years in luxury hospitality and became a certified tea sommelier in 2013. Her approach blends precision, soulful refinement, and excellence in care and hosting.
Through HIYÄM Wellness Living, she now designs exclusive retreats and high-end mentorships for individuals, leaders, and aligned companies seeking renewal, recalibration, and reconnection with what matters most.
FAQ : HIYÄM WELLNESS LIVING
Q1. Do I need to be a yoga practitioner or have prior yoga experience to join a HIYÄM Wellness Living retreat?
A1. Not at all. Yoga at HIYÄM Wellness Living is not about performance, it is about presence. Our founder, Hiyäm Jabak, teaches that yoga lives first in the heart and the soul, not in the shape of the body. Whether it is your first time on the mat or an advanced practice, every retreat is an invitation to reconnect with your body, celebrate life, and move with joy.
Q2. Do I need to practice yoga, or even want to practice yoga, if I join a semi-private or corporate retreat?
A2. Absolutely not. Your schedule is yours to design. Some guests choose daily yoga, others prefer walks, painting, sailing, or simply resting. Many who had never planned to try yoga found themselves inspired to begin their journey during a retreat. Yoga is a doorway, but not an obligation, every retreat is tailor-made to your dream itinerary.
Q3. Who are these luxury wellness journey retreats designed for?
A3. For anyone longing to step outside the ordinary. For adventurers, visionaries, and those ready to celebrate life, reconnect with themselves, or pause to replenish. Whether private, semi-private, or corporate, retreats are especially meaningful for those with busy lives who desire to create their own dates, rhythm, and path. Here, you are the author, the retreat is your living novel.
Q4. What is included in a HIYÄM Wellness Living retreat?
A4. More than a program, it is a curated immersion. You may enjoy yoga and meditation, nourishing meals, rituals, silence, art, sailing, or surfing, always tailored to you. The true inclusion is the experience of elegance, presence, and transformation.
Q5. How are HIYÄM Wellness retreats customized?
A5. With absolute freedom and conscious care. Guests choose their own dates, rhythm, and intentions. Each retreat unfolds around your purpose, whether healing, celebration, growth, or deep rest. It is not a fixed schedule; it is a co-created journey where you write the story, and we provide the sacred container.
Q6. Where do HIYÄM Wellness Living retreats take place?
A6. Anywhere your heart desires. Europe, Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Polynesia, or aboard a sailing vessel, your retreat is crafted in the destination that inspires you most. The world is your canvas; we trace your journey where your soul feels called.
Q7. How do I book a HIYÄM Wellness Living retreat?
A7. Booking begins with a conversation. You share your vision, your dates, and your desires; together we design your retreat.

Booking is the first conscious “yes” to yourself, the beginning of your transformation.

Q11. Can I attend with friends, family, or colleagues?
A11. Absolutely. Semi-private retreats (4–6 guests) and corporate retreats are designed for groups who wish to share connection, rituals, and transformation together. These retreats are a beautiful way to bond, celebrate milestones, or integrate conscious leadership into a company culture.
Q12. What about diet and food preferences?
A12. Every menu is lovingly personalized. At HIYÄM Wellness Living, we speak of food adjustments, not restrictions. Before each retreat, we connect with every guest to ensure that meals honor their body, digestion, and preferences, so that your tummy feels cared for and your soul feels nourished.
Our founder’s deep experience in nutrition and fine cuisine allows us to transform every meal into a ritual of epicurean loveliness and lushness. Food here is not only fuel, but celebration, colorful, vibrant, and crafted to elevate your retreat experience.
