Living By The Wheel Yoga Retreat

A 6-day, 5-night retreat exploring the beauty and depths of the chakras and the shamanic medicine wheel at the award-winning Prana del Mar, Baja California Sur, Mexico.

 
Experience the integration of yoga and shamanism – these two beautiful and mystical practices meet us each exactly where we are and offer pathways to our healing so we can step into the highest expressions of our Selves. For this 6-day, 5-night all-inclusive gathering, we will be exploring how to open up the pathways of communication between humans and animals, primarily the spectacular whales that migrate along the shores of the Pacific Ocean. Not only will we be able to witness the whales from our private beach, but included in the retreat will be a whale-watching boat expedition. Whales in particular have so much wisdom to offer us as we continue on our individual healing and spiritual paths. Let’s explore this together.

Our time together will include yin yoga, gentle yoga, vinyasa flow practices, with special focus on the seven chakras. We will also experience traditional shamanic ceremony surrounded by the power of the Pacific Ocean, the vast expanse of Sonoran Desert skies, the majesty of the Sierra de la Laguna mountains – while being coddled in luxurious, sustainable accommodations. You will enjoy delicious and healthy cuisine, two beautiful yoga studios, a swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, and spa facilities, a dedicated meditation room, tranquil gardens with a labyrinth, and a stunning, private beach. It is the perfect setting to relax, refresh, and rejuvenate. The retreat fee includes a week of deluxe accommodations, with pillow-top mattresses, 300 thread-count organic sheets, beautiful, custom-crafted teak and rattan furniture, and bathrooms with organic towels.

​All meals are included, as well as airport transfers, and all taxes. You will also have the option to sign up for additional excursions while there like horseback riding, surf lessons, cooking classes, as well as spa treatments and private sessions. If you sign up for a private shamanic journey with Molly in advance, you will receive a discounted rate. (Note: There are only four private sessions with Molly available during the retreat.)
