About the Retreat
Join senior-level Iyengar Yoga instructor for an unforgettable retreat on the pacific coast of Mexico. Mar de Jade has become a home away from home. All the participants feel the same way, and many choose to return year after year. What’s not to like?! Temperatures range from the mid-70’s to 80’s during the day and cool down to the mid-60’s in the evening. Each morning, you start with an active 2-hour yoga class and a superb breakfast in the open-air dining area that overlooks Chacala Beach and the ocean. There are several hours between meals and class to take part in the numerous activities and excursions on offer, such as whale watching hiking, shopping in local markets and spa treatments, or choose to relax on the beach of pool-side and soak up the sun and the stunning view to your heart’s content. Before sunset and dinner, Lara will help you to relax further with a profound and refreshing restorative and pranayama class.
Lara’s teaching combines a pragmatic and methodical approach with a deep reverence for yoga’s transformative potential. Through her guidance, you’ll cultivate and embodied understanding of how to connect with all aspects of yourself. By uniting mindfulness, skillful action, and the ability to immerse yourself in the practice, you’ll discover a pathway toward positive transformation.
Take this time to pause and reconnect. Lie down on the beach, float in the ocean, feel the earth’s support and beauty, and allow ease and grace to flow through you.
