ocean ojas yoga retreat

“

    

Where desert meets sea. This setting on the beautiful Baja Peninsula of Mexico is the perfect place to usher in spring, renew your spirit after the long winter, and replenish your ojas (Ayurveda’s view of the vital juice of life). Twice daily yoga practices, golden sand beaches, stunning surf, desert arroyos, rocky outcroppings, whale watching, and more are set at Prana del Mar, a deluxe and eco-friendly wellness center.

Two yoga classes every day: one intense, two-hour practice before breakfast then, each night before dinner, a two-hour “”dig deep”” workshop that consists of a 25 minute warm-up flow followed by a meticulous break-down and explanation of one or two poses. Each student who wants to can do the pose while Renee explains the alignment of the pose for that student’s particular body. These workshops are invaluable in that it’s a great opportunity to see a pose on another student as well as yourself and have all your questions answered.

Your morning will begin in one of two beautiful yoga studios with a mediation and asana practice that moves Prana, kindles Tejas, and replenishes Ojas. Afternoons include free time for reflection, hammock lounging, reading, soaking up the sun at the pool or on the beach, hiking, body work, sight seeing, and optional activities to explore the Baja Peninsula. Evenings you’ll wind down with asana, satsang (sharing of the teachings), restorative practices, or ceremony.

Everything about this retreat asks you to de-stress, de-busy, and replenish your deep reserves. Fresh, healthy meals are prepared by a professional chef; ocean view accommodations invite in the sound of the sea; your private terrace asks you to settle in with a good book; while meditative and reflective practices invite you into the space of Self.
