Ocean Ojas Yoga Retreat

    

Where desert meets sea. This setting on the beautiful Baja Peninsula of Mexico is the perfect place to settle inward after a full year, renew your spirit, and replenish your ojas (Ayurveda’s view of the vital juice of life).

We can’t bring our best Selves to our lives (family, work, relationships, creativity) when our cup is empty. We simply must make replenishment a regular part of our practice, and retreat can be one of the most replenishing acts we partake in. Ayurveda teaches that if our deep vital reserves, or ojas, are depleted we won’t be able to access the fullness of our capacity, our most vibrant health, or our best Self.

After an unprecedented 2020, we look forward to the opportunity to gather again in community, share in-person practice, and be nourished by the company of each other and the teachings.

During this retreat our goal is to build your ojas! Daily yoga practice and Ayurvedic teachings are supported by profound body work, exquisite nourishing food, golden sand beaches, stunning surf, hiking the Pacific coast, and more. Our Ocean Ojas retreat is set at Prana del Mar, an award winning and eco-friendly wellness center.

Retreating in the Era of COVID (a note from Kara)
After careful consideration, I’ve rescheduled this retreat from its original January 2021 date, to November of this year. I’ve heard from so many of you who are ready to travel, ready to practice in community, and ready to be nourished by the good company of friends on the path. I know a retreat can offer all of these things, and I consider your safety and wellness with utmost seriousness.

Of all the retreats I lead, and places I’ve traveled, the remote haven that is Prana del Mar feels like a safe and secluded place to gather. Prana del Mar is a true retreat center, with a small, dedicated staff, and only retreat guests on site. The service, cleanliness, and intentionality is world class here, and there’s no place I feel safer inviting you currently.

Here are a few notes on travel during COVID:
– The $300 deposit, while non-refundable, may be transferred to future retreats or programming with Kara.
– All participants on this retreat will have had a negative COVID test prior to departure.
– Trip insurance will be required for this retreat, to keep everyone covered in the greatest number of circumstances possible.

* While yoga retreat travel should always be a practice in flexibility, this year’s retreat will be no exception. We’ll continue to make the best decisions we can, with the best information we have access to.
