Dear friends;
This retreat is now being organized for sometime in Feb. 09. I’m in the process of researching information on plane flights. Dates and travel info will be posted in the next while.
The Place
Hotel Lagunita in Yelapa is 30 minutes south of Puerto Vallarta by water taxi. There are no cars here, just elegant and simple bungalows on the edge of the Pacific Ocean. Surrounding you is lush jungle, waterfalls, and all the sounds of nature.

The Soma Yoga Program
Here is a precious opportunity to practice yoga in an environment that is deeply nourishing to body, mind and spirit. Without the tyranny of clocks, computers and cars, we begin to drop into the slow and natural rhythms of nature, moving as the clouds move, breathing in harmony with wind and waves.
This retreat will focus on entering a deep state of presence while practicing yoga, learning to listen deeply to what Echhart Tolle calls ‘the inner body,’ the stream of life force in the body and breath. Experiencing your inner body awakens your own capacity to regenerate and revitalize your entire being. Cultivating an awareness that is curious, loving and accepting allows you to practice yoga with your heart wide open.
We will explore some of the myths around the ageing process, and use an embodiment journal to examine and renew our whole relationship with our body/mind.
The schedule
90 minutes of Soma Yoga and meditation each morning before breakfast.
2 hours in the late afternoon before dinner.
The morning yoga will be quite active and vigorous, the afternoon yoga will be focused more on energy, breath, visualization, deep relaxation, and restorative postures.
The rest of the day is free.
Private coaching session and human design readings with Shayla will also be available during the day. These sessions are not included in the cost of the retreat.
This schedule is subject to minor changes, as we co-ordinate it with the staff at Hotel Lagunita.
The Cost
Yoga, meals and accommodation: $1100 for double accommodation, including all gratuities, and 3 delicious meals per day, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian.
