This immersive nine-day yoga training retreat is more than just an escape—it's a deep return to your true self. Whether you're continuing your path as a teacher or deepening your personal practice, this experience is designed to awaken the light within and integrate the ancient teachings of yoga into everyday life.

The  Location: Villa Milagro, Troncones, Mexico

Tucked away in lush tropical gardens and set against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean, Villa Milagro is a private beachfront sanctuary where tranquility and transformation naturally unfold. This intimate setting becomes our classroom, temple, and home—a place where the teachings of yoga come to life in rhythm with the land, sea, and sky.

The Experience: A Living Yoga Education

What could be more powerful than learning yoga where the earth supports your feet, the ocean sings your breath, and the sun sets on your savasana?

Each day is intentionally structured to support your learning and integration. This is not a one-size-fits-all program—it's a personalized immersion into the full spectrum of yoga, designed to meet you where you are and guide you toward where you are meant to be. We learn not just through lectures, but through living, breathing, moving in community.

This 300-hour Yoga Training Retreat includes structured pre-attendance coursework developed by Marianne to systematically prepare participants for the immersive training experience. The curriculum is designed to cultivate the cognitive, physical, and energetic readiness required for the advanced study. Prepairing you to fully engage with and integrate the profound experiences that will unfold during our time together.

Pre attendance course work begins April 2026.
