Yoga meets 5Rhythms in Baja, Mexico
Jul 3, 2010 - Jul 10, 2010
Prana del Mar ~ Baja Mexico

Yoga & Movement

Two yoga classes are offered each day--an energetic practice in the morning and a calming restorative practice before dinner, including pranayama and deep relaxation. You will have the opportunity to sink into your asana practice, whether you are new to yoga or have been practicing for a long time.

5Rhythms sessions will focus on moving to music. There are no steps or technique to learn, no choreography to figure out. All that is required is a body that is still breathing, a heart that is still beating, and a mind that is still curious.
5Rhythms is practiced by tens of thousands of people of all ages, shapes, and sizes. It is at once calming and rejuvenating, and will leave you with a deep sense of peace.

Teachers

Barbara Fabbri of Mill Valley, California, is a certified Iyengar instructor, with teaching experience in both Italy and the United States. She brings her beautiful teaching style and the unusual ability to hold a room full of mixed level students, ensuring an appropriate practice for each person. This is the place and the instructor to help begin or deepen a yoga practice.

Lori Saltzman ~ Co-founder of the Moving Center School, has been teaching 5Rhythms all over the world for twenty years. She is a gifted teacher with a gentle sense of humor. She is at once playful and practical and is able to elicit great joy through her music and guided moving meditation. Lori creates a perfect container for you to move yourself in new and meaningful ways.

Food

Scrumptious vegan/vegetarian spa style cuisine, providing a gentle cleanse and a restorative rest for your digestive system. For those wanting a deeper cleanse, morning shakes (consisting of raw grains, nut milk and fruit), freshly juiced vegetables, and energy soup will be available.

Special dietary considerations and food allergies will be addressed in advance of the retreat so that your culinary experience is exactly what you need it to be to complement your yoga, meditation, and movement practices.

Accommodation

Prana del Mar is located at the beach on 5 beautiful acres near the southern tip of the Baja peninsula. With the mountains to the east, the Pacific to the west, and the desert all around, we are comfortably nestled in a tranquil valley that provides an ideal setting for rest, relaxation, rejuvenation, and exploration.

With 15 guest rooms and suites, delicious cuisine, a spa with swimming pool and jacuzzi, a spacious yoga studio, and a stunning beach just steps away, you will enjoy a wonderful respite from your daily routine.

Continuing our commitment to environmental sustainability, the water that irrigates all of the gardens at Prana del Mar is reclaimed from each building and the soil is fertilized by the composting of organic material, so that nothing is wasted.

Location

Todos Santos, Baja, the closest town to our home for the week, is a 40 minute drive. A vortex where the Tropic of Cancer, Sierra de Laguna Mountains, Baja Desert and the Pacific Ocean meet, Todos Santos is a charming artist community bustling with galleries, cafes, and authentic Mexican stores filled with pottery and keepsakes. Also home to an abundance of Organic produce that will infuse the week's menu.
