Start your New Year off with the perfect balance of deepening your yoga practice and basking in the euphoria of an unforgettable Caribbean vacation!
Amy and Jane designed this blissful Yoga vacation to help you re-energize the body, mind, and spirit after a long year and a busy holiday season. We will delve into the practice of Anusara Yoga, Pranayama and Meditation as invaluable tools to becoming fuller artisans of life. All classes will take place in an open air, thatch-roofed 'tree house' as gentle ocean breezes pass through. Each morning will include a dynamic yoga class with Amy, deepening your understanding of Anusara Yoga and philosophy. Afternoons will feature a rejuvenating restorative yoga practice with Jane, experiencing the art of ultimate freedom, acceptance and alignment with the Divine. We have reserved only enough spaces for a small intimate group, so there will be much individual attention. All levels welcome.
Isla Mujeres is a tropical island located off the coast of the Mayan Riviera, just across the bay from Cancún. Its essence reflects its ancient identity of honoring the Goddess, hence the name, which in Spanish means 'isle of women.'
Na Balam, ("home of the Jaguar") the upscale hotel that hosts our retreat, is located on the island's most pristine white sand beach and is bordered on both sides by the warm crystalline waters of the Caribbean. The hotel
is located near the main street of Isla's tourist village, sitting amidst lush tropical gardens, golden sunshine, and vast skies. Na Balam's beachfront snack bar is the place to be for sunset watching and also provides fresh fruit juices and a variety of Mexican snacks. The gourmet restaurant, Zazil Ha, offers authentic Mayan and vegetarian fusion cuisine served in a peaceful atmosphere.
