Prana del Mar is a space to unwind, relax, and nurture the soul. I am incredibly grateful to have been able to experience the serenity, to nurture my yoga practice, and to heal my body in this environment. The meals were created in such a personal way. I have honestly never had such healthful meals in my life and I am certain this way of eating will continue after my retreat. I have every intention of returning to the peace and the nurturing environment that Prana del Mar sustains. Many thanks for creating this oasis.
