Itinerary
WELCOME DINNER
On the day of your arrival, we will arrange for a taxi to take you to Casa Bonita.
Once there, ice cold beverages await. We will show you to your room where you can settle in, refresh, and familiarize yourself with the house. A special, catered Welcome Dinner will officially begin our wonderful Mazatlan Retreat.
|
HABLO UN POCO ESPANOL
Not well-versed in the Spanish language? We will provide a short lesson on how to say words and phrases you might need to navigate your way around El Centro de Mazatlan, to order off the menu, or to find out the price of items you want to buy. Mazatlan is a popular tourist destination with menus and signage in English. You will find many of the locals either proficient or have enough to communicate in broken English. But knowing a few words in Spanish will go a long way. The community is friendly and as you walk the streets and smile at a passerby, add a cheerful "buenas" and they will surely return the sentiment. |
DAILY YOGA WITH MAYA
A challenging 2-hour mix of Vinyasa and Hatha Yoga including pranayama and plenty of savasana to give the body a complete yoga workout. Foundations of the class will remain the same for the entire week so students can grow in their practice and build a deeper relationship between the postures and their body.
Asana practice is all meant to improve our posture to help us in our pranayama breathing practice. With renewed intention, space, and time, we will have 2 sessions specifically dedicated to pranayama and meditation to observe, listen to, and let be the body, breath, and mind.

TRACK YOUR AWARENESS With daily practice comes an increased intensity and self-awareness. We will track your awareness by providing before and after pictures of foundation postures that we will be focusing on in class. |
EL PRESIDIO DINNER
A night to remember! El Presidio with its brick walls, centuries-old trees, the beautiful foliage that surround the open air courtyard of this restaurant is rich with history. Take a step back in time and dine under the warm, gentle lights hanging overhead. Listen to the Mariachi band strumming their guitars, the soft, singing notes of a violin, and the harmonizing voices and rich vibrato of its members. Appetizers, entrees, and desserts will not disappoint.
|
FAREWELL DINNER
On the final evening of our retreat, another dinner catered by a local chef will mark the closing of our retreat. As we savor the flavors of Mexico and the special moments of this experience, we toast and clink our glasses to a bitter sweet ending to our adventure. In just a week's amount of time, there is so much to reflect on and be thankful for. |
