HAPPY NEW YEAR YOGA RETREAT
HAPPY NEW YEAR YOGA RETREAT
CHACALA, MEXICO DECEMBER 28 - JANUARY 4, 2025
Embark upon the enchanting voyage into the New Year, riding the rhythm of your spirit soaring high on this yoga retreat! Let the empowering currents of yoga, mantras and breathwork guide you on a journey of discovery, as you savor nourishing sustenance and share profound conversations that deepen your connection to both self and kindred spirits amid paradise's embrace.
Awaken to the embrace of flowing Vinyasa Yoga; as twilight descends, surrender to the gentle embrace of Yin Yoga. Amidst this rhythmic tapestry, sculpt your unique adventure in this sanctuary of self-discovery. Lounge upon the sandy shores, let the ocean's waves caress your skin, or recline by the pool, swaying in a hammock's cradle. Immerse yourself in the pages of a book or succumb to the sweet lull of a nap, while the option to receive a soothing massage beckons. Seize the chance for exploration, whether it be tracing the ancient petroglyphs at Altavista's spiritual sanctuary, partaking in a sacred Temazcal Ceremony, marvel at nature's beauty during a whale watching tour, mastering the art of Salsa Dance, or surfing the waves in a joyful dance with the ocean.
Under the compassionate guidance of Yoga Teacher Crystal Rainbow, this Exhale Yoga Retreat transcends a mere physical journey—it's a metamorphosis of the soul. Begin by acknowledging the burdens you carry, and let the practice of yoga be the gentle current that carries them away. In the embrace of the New Year, cast a discerning gaze upon the desires you wish to invite into your existence, and set forth your intentions for the days that await.
As we bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, join in a dance that emanates from the heart, surrounded by a tribe of kindred spirits. When the final echoes of the Yoga Retreat fade into the horizon, our heartfelt wish is that you depart, carrying the lightness of love for yourself, for others, and for the exquisite tapestry of life itself.
THE RETREAT
MAR DE JADE RETREATS & WELLNESS RESORT
This beautiful location is a Wellness Resort & Yoga Retreat Center nestled between the tropical jungle and the pristine sandy beach of Chacala, Mexico. Mar de Jade sits on the beach of Playa Chacala, a small charming Mexican fishing village that still retains a traditional way of life. Easily accessed from Puerto Vallarta International Airport, just 90 minutes south, yet feels worlds apart from the big tourist developments. The town and surrounding areas have adventures to offer; from jungle hikes, surfing, ATV tours, whale watching and boating, to the simple pleasure of chilling on the soft sand and swimming in the warm ocean waters.
Come to nurture your body, inspire your soul & cultivate your spiritual life. Whether you're coming on your own, with friends, or looking to meet like-hearted yogis… the natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere will awaken you.
