sweet surrender yoga retreat

“

    

Join Leslie Pearlman & Denise Hopkins for a transformative week-long yoga retreat from February 1-8, 2014. Enjoy two daily yoga classes surrounded by the beauty of the ocean, mountains, and desert. Deluxe rooms, swimming pool and spa, endless beaches, and tranquil open space to relax and enjoy the beauty of the Baja peninsula.

All rooms have their own balcony or terrace and travertine-tiled floors and bathrooms, pillow-top mattresses with quality linens, and beautiful teak furniture. The downstairs rooms have king beds, an additional seating area, and en suite bath. The upstairs suites have two queens beds, private bath, and a living/dining room with full kitchen.

Enjoy delicious, healthful, international cuisine with many Mexican influences. The fabulous chefs grow a variety of vegetables, herbs, and fruit in the organic garden and source organic produce when available.

Yoga classes will be offered twice daily, one in the morning and one in evening. The beautiful and airy Sun Studio has 1850 dedicated square feet overlooking the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Sierra del la Laguna mountains to the north and east. The Moon Studio is smaller and cozier, the perfect place for a more internal or contemplative practice. Both studios feature strand-woven bamboo floors and everything you need for your practice. Feel free to leave your mat at home! The studio is fully stocked with Manduka black mats, both bamboo and alder blocks, blankets, bolsters, straps, sand bags, and silk eye pillows.

Baja is a unique geographical area hosting a diverse variety of flora and fauna, coastal plains, deserts, mountains, and the Pacific Ocean. In between classes, take advantage of nearby rugged mountains where you can enjoy the hiking trails, walks along the nearly-deserted beach, horseback riding, surfing, whale watching, lounging by the pool, sweating in the sauna, soaking in the hot tub or swinging in the hammock. There are also a variety of spa treatments including massages, body scrubs, facials, and more for a truly rejuvenating experience.

Students of all levels welcome!
