SATURDAY April 18- Saturday April 25 Yoga and Adventure in Coastal Belize In addition to morning and evening yoga classes and daytime excursions, we’ll be treated to the best of Belizean food all week, and music an dancing at our Fiesta Night. During your stay, you can hike, bike, ride horseback, and explore the Mayan underworld (xibalba) in subterranean ceremonial sites. Our yoga studies will include the science of the energy body, how we can develop the presence to achieve our deepest desires, and practices to explore and purify the body, mind, heart and emotions—that plus plenty of rocking asana! In addition to fabulous, uplifting yoga with extraordinary teachers every day, enjoy relaxation time in a hammock overlooking the Mopan River, shop in San Ignacio, or walk around the little village of Bullet Tree Falls. Tubing down, or jumping into, the river are favorite activities! Fall in love with Belize... as you fall in love with Yoga. Our Belizean "home," Cohune Palms, is a small, secluded resort that is just right for restoring a depleted soul in an atmosphere of rustic elegance. It is blessed with cool river breezes and a jungle setting as well as proximity to San Ignacio—its shops, restaurants, and nightlife. We’ll be practicing our yoga on the deck, which is built into the riverbank of the Mopan. Belzeans are som eof the most laid back, friendliest people you will ever encounter, and you will instantly feel like you've just extended your family! Our hosts, Mike and Bevin, will see that most every need is met, and we can be assured of a gleefully restful experience. Our location will allow immersion into the true peace and deep seated history of Belize. In stepping back from the ordinary, we will pursue a deeper relationship to our yoga practice as a guidepost for living a life of purpose, clarity and compassion. Your Retreat Leaders: Lauren Toolin, e-RYT, Founding Director of the Metta Center for Yoga, will be joyfully making her seventh trip to Belize with this adventure.
