Gustavo Piola
Gustavo Piola is a talented artist who has left an indelible mark on the world of tango through his photographic art. With 25 years of experience in the field of photography, he has captured the essence of hundreds of artists, fashion models, and dancers. His passion and dedication have led him to specialize in tango photography, a niche that uniquely combines fashion, sophistication, art, and dance.
His ability to direct people and make them feel comfortable in front of the camera, coupled with his distinctive style of photography characterized by a blend of darkness, contrast, sensuality, and expression, set him apart as an exceptional photographer and have made him the most sought-after among tango dancers.
He has brought his art to prominent cities such as London, Barcelona, Milan, Bali, Singapore, the Canary Islands, and, of course, Buenos Aires. At Tango Maya Fest, Gustavo will not only be present as the stellar photographer to visually document the memories of the event but will also offer private sessions for those who wish to capture special moments exclusively. He hopes that participants will have a unique experience, be surprised, and take away unforgettable memories.

Hans Peter Meyer
Hans Peter Meyer will be offering morning yoga classes every day of TangoMayaFest 2023. These will be 45-minute classes that he has crafted to focus on qualities of leading, surrender, connection, and inner elegance relevant to all tango dancers.
In his practice, Hans teaches yoga with a focus on two things: developing the capacity to "hold space" feel the experience of being alive; helping the body, and especially the heart, open safely and powerfully within this "held space" to connection with self and with others. His yoga training is in Kundalini Yoga and in the Yoga of Sacred Intimacy.
As well as teaching online programs for men, women, and couples (eg. Path of the Sacred Masculine, Sacred Marriage) Hans teaches in-person Yoga for Lovers (couples) and Tango for Lovers (couples) on Vancouver Island, where he lives . He is also a Certified Life-Cycle Celebrant™ and provides bespoke ceremonies for "endings" (deaths, divorce, job-loss/career-change, retirement, etc) and weddings across North America.
