Create Balance Yoga Retreat

As human beings living in a fast-paced world, it is of utmost importance to consciously take time to find balance in your daily life, as a way to allow you to continuously, and truly connect with your beautiful soul. By taking care of you, you will have the lifeforce, vision and motivation to live out your ultimate human potential.

“Our intention for this special week of relaxation, yoga, meditation and inspiring workshops, is to allow the sacred environment to restore each soul to its essence, while dissolving all stress through the natural wild of the desert and sea, merged with conscious renewal.”

~ Love, Rachel

After a long search, Rachel and Eric were magnetized to Prana del Mar. Upon visiting this restorative sanctuary, they immediately knew it was the perfect place to hold their retreat for 2019. 2019 went so well that they immediately booked for the next year. We will be back in 2020, and would love to have you share another beautiful week of yoga, while cultivating new friendships, and experiencing life as it can be. In the moment.

Enjoy one full week that is all about loving you. You will be nurtured in mind, body and spirit, through structured yoga practices, meditation, pranayama, nourishing food, and a peaceful landscape. You will also have the opportunities for additional outings, or to simply relax and allow the sound of the ocean waves against the shore refresh your soul.

When you return home, you will bring with you a tool-set useful for daily life. These consciously developed tools will be woven throughout the wisdom of your deep intelligence. They will assist you to reset daily, and remember no matter where you are, you can open to peace, strength and courage to move through all challenges. You can be in balance. The eye in the storm of daily life.

Each day will offer an all levels vigorous morning practice, and a restorative evening practice. Each practice will include meditation and pranayama.

Eric Martin
Eric Martin is an example of a highly successful businessman living a balanced yogic lifestyle. He holds a B.S. in computer science, with an MBA in finance. He has spent 30+ years assisting the turn-around of distressed businesses in many industries.

In 2003, Eric met Manju Jois. Eric was changed by Manju’s powerful and authentic teaching ability. Manju is the pure lineage of Ashtanga since his father Pattabhi Jois passed away in 2009.

He teaches a simple, profound practice that sets Eric and anyone whom dedicates to learning under him apart from all who teach an incomplete yoga style. Eric teaches yoga with the spirit of Manju in his heart. He stays close to roots of lineage, with perfect adjustments and a humble, yet empowering voice.

Eric is also a student of Srivatsa Ramaswami, learning Vinyasa Krama. Srivatsa is a humble, yet powerful yogi, of deep lineage, and holds true to the teachings of his teacher, T. Krishnamacharya. Since meeting Sri, Eric’s teaching has evolved to blend in the strength, and depth of both of his teachers in a beautiful way.
