Travel. Yoga. Love.
Written By: Ashby Underwood - Yoga Highlands | Issue: 2018/11 - November
Experiences make us who we are. One mission of yoga is to make the most of each present moment. When we step out of our lives and travel, it magnifies our appreciation of the life that awaits us returning home. New perspective is refreshing and needed, just as is laughter, relaxation, and balance.
Three years ago Mary Abranyi and I had a vision of offering a winter yoga retreat for our mutual Highlands-Cashiers yoga community. Each year since, it’s grown with family and friends and has become a Plateau tradition. Our first year we went to the western coast of Nosara, Costa Rica. Last winter, 28 of us ventured to Panama! We all delighted in traveling by boat over the turquoise Caribbean with home-base being a secluded island resort. We visited the Panama Canal, toured a local chocolate farm, and learned to meditate on the beach under a full moon.
Each retreat is a little different, as the talents and tastes of each group are unique and together we define the character of our experience.
We are excited about what’s coming up next!
Our Third Annual Winter Yoga, Wellness, and Adventure Retreat takes us to the Mexican state of Oaxaca (Wahaca) and its Southern Coastal Region of La Boquilla. Oaxaca is a beautiful, culturally-rich and biologically-diverse state. The remnants of the Zapotec and Mixtec cultures can be found outside of the capital city of Oaxaca de Juarez. The state is known for its amazing food (it is considered Mexico’s culinary capital), colorful textiles, mountainous landscapes and beautiful beaches.
Will you join us?
Immerse yourself in a six-night, carefully curated vacation off the Province of La Boquilla. We’ve created a daily retreat rhythm devoted to personal wellness, rejuvenation and discovery. Our host, Bahía de la Luna, is a one-of-a-kind eco-hotel on a virgin beach on the Pacific Ocean.
Each day begins with a morning yoga practice guided by both instructors to assist you. From abundant fresh fruit and organic coffee served with breakfast until the last gourmet cocktail or local mezcal at evening’s end, the acclaimed kitchen/bar provides the finest of Oaxacan-fusion cuisine.
All accommodations, food and beverages are included in the retreat. See our listing below of our special tours and offerings. Private and shared rooms are available. To reserve your spot or for further details, visit CashiersValleyFusion.com or YogaHighlands.com.
