Iyengar Yoga Retreat with Lara Warren

About the Retreat

Join Lara Warren (senior CIYT) for her 15th year on Mexico’s Pacific Coast. Lara’s classes never fail to surprise, delight and inform. She is welcoming and supportive and guides her students with a dynamic presence, inspiring demonstrations, and clear, methodical instructions. She welcomes all levels of students and is attentive to specific needs. She has a wonderful enthusiasm for the subject of yoga, which she has studied, practiced & taught for the past 30 years. All classes are held in Mar de Jade’s el Templo studio, fully equipped with a rope wall. Lara teaches an active 2 hour class in the morning and a 1 1/2 hrs restorative/pranayama class in the evening, which she schedules perfectly so that you roll out of savasana just in time for sunset hour.

The town and surrounding areas have much to offer, from jungle hikes, surfing, whale watching, boating, and ancient petroglyphs to the simple pleasure of playing on the soft sand and swimming in the warm year-round ocean waters.

If you prefer to relax between meals and classes, you can hang out on the beach or poolside. Take a dip in Mar de Jade’s large swimming pool, wading pool, or Jacuzzi nestled amidst banana trees, bougainvillea flowers, and palm trees. Watch the sunset over the ocean from a reclining beach chair or take a nap in a hammock under the shade of our thatched-roof palapa. Wander on the paths lining our tropical hotel grounds and visit our herb garden, then step right onto Chacala Beach for swimming, paddle boarding, or kayaking.

Mar de Jade offers delicious and well-balanced buffet-style meals served three times daily in their open-air dining room overlooking Chacala Bay. Every dish is made daily from scratch using fresh ingredients from their Organic Farm. The menu is inspired by traditional Mexican cuisine and international flavors, featuring vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free dishes as well as fresh fish, seafood, and chicken. Tea, coffee, fruit, bread, and homemade peanut butter and mango jam are provided at the snack bar throughout the day. The kitchen is always happy to accommodate any dietary restrictions and food allergies.

Now, all there is to do is book your flight to Puerto Vallarta to arrive on February 15th and depart on February 22nd (transportation to and from the airport will be arranged); choose your room (Ocean Room, Garden Room, Guest Room, or Women’s Dormitory), and send your deposit.
