Celebrate life and deepen your practice by connecting with nature and a community of like-minded yogis. Immerse yourself in a slice of paradise in Guatemala (Antigua and Lake Atitlan) for a week of heart-centered yoga, wellness, and culture!
We’ll spend the first night at a lovely hotel in the colonial city of Antigua, located about an hour from the Guatemala City airport. For the remaining five nights, our nest will be a cozy retreat house on the southern shore of Lake Atitlan.
In a small group of friends (max. 12), through the shared group practices of yoga, breathing, meditation, relaxation, play and ritual, we will align with our heart’s deepest desires and purpose.
Each morning, we’ll center and recharge with a heart-opening active yoga practice designed to accommodate all levels. We’ll gather for three healthy, delicious vegetarian/vegan meals each day prepared with love and mindfulness by the on-site chef and kitchen staff. There’s plenty of free time built into the schedule for reading, rest, swimming, and reflection. In the late afternoon, we’ll wind down with a slow flow session of restorative yoga, mindfulness, and creativity practice.
You’ll take home healthy habits and empowering practices that will enhance your personal well-being and nurture your intuition, self-love and natural intelligence.
