Description of the Retreat

We are excited to be returning for our fourth yoga retreat on the magnificent Lake Atitlán!

Majestic volcanoes rising up from the lake provide the perfect environment for letting stress dissolve and for withdrawing from distraction. Here, we invite you to disconnect from your tasks and to do lists, and reconnect to reveal an energized, more balanced you.

Enjoy the perfect blend of yoga, nutritious cuisine and wellness treatments to discover new sources of energy and vitality.

There’s also something about visiting another country that brings a different perspective to life, with new experiences which make us feel more alive.

Join us and unplug on our Guatemala yoga retreat. Come with an intention for positive, personal transformation to unfold on the shores of Lake Atitlán – celebrated worldwide for its peace and beauty.

Teacher/Teachings

As your hosts, our combined yoga experience spans several decades, across a broad range of styles and modalities, including the traditional lineages of this ancient wisdom. We delight in yoga which strengthens the body, calms the mind, and rejuvenates the spirit.

Julie Murphy (@yogaressa) discovered the joy of yoga in her native country, South Africa. Many Oms later, she completed her 200-RYT certification at Radha Madhav Dham in Austin, TX, and began teaching in 2007. Her 500-RYT took her to India for a deeper understanding of this ancient way of life. Julie is well known for her Yoga Nidra work, and is energized by its positive impact. Her inspiration comes from experiencing yoga as a way for anyone to reach their full potential — in body, mind and spirit.

Karen Pagano fell in love with yoga in her very first class, over 25 years ago.  Completing her 200-hour RYT certification from the Hatha Yoga Center of Seattle, WA, as well as in Bali, prepared her to begin teaching in 2004. Most recently on Lake Atitlán, she completed training in Nada Yoga: The Yoga of Sound and Cacao.  Karen shares her heart with students through joyous and creative instruction, and her love for yoga is infectious.  Helping people to find their own yoga bliss is what makes her teacher heart sing.

TYPES OF YOGA:
Hatha, Yin, Restorative, Meditation, Yoga Nidra, The Yoga of Sound

Facilities

We have chosen Lomas de Tzununá for our retreat, with the most dramatically beautiful views we’ve seen on any of our Lake Atitlán visits.

This family-run wellness resort is secluded and intimate, dedicated to providing the perfect sanctuary for a peaceful getaway. Thierry and Maria are also committed to the local community, working to improve literacy rates and increase opportunity for learning and earning.

All rooms have private bathrooms, and private balconies with spectacular views of the lake.

    Movement. Mindfulness. Meditation. Yoga is my blueprint for how to live a healthier, happier life.
    Teacher training in India (500 hours) energized and inspired me to lead Yoga Nidra workshops and classes, and fellow yogis encouraged me to produce CDs of this beautiful and ancient practice..
    I delight in co-creating international yoga retreats in spectacular places, with my fabulous yoga partner, Karen. Laughter and bliss guaranteed.
    May your yoga practice bring you clarity of mind, ease in your body, and joy in your heart. Namaste.
