Over the next four days, wake up to the rising sun over the Gulf of California as you sit atop the coastal dunes in a silent or guided meditation.  Followed by beach yoga with Kate to energize and calibrate your mind, body, and spirit.  Breakfast is served in the outdoor, cover dining area catered to every diet and invigorated with abundant flavors and colors. Each day we have group activities under the water, along the shore, at a fishing village, or up in the mountains led by our naturalist guide and local marine biologists that include either a plated or picnic lunch.  

Rest leisurely in the afternoon in a cozy cloth hammock absorbing the fresh coastal breeze.  You may opt for a horseback ride, an essential oil massage, or a yoga therapy session with Kate.  Afterward, settled in your mat for an evening restorative yoga session, then share your daily experience and indulge in a healthy 3-course dinner.  Join us in the palapa for evening meditation or around the bonfire to sing indigenous healing songs, invoking our loving ancestors.  

After we say our goodbyes to the staff at La Duna Ecology Center, our host will take us on a beautiful backroads journey along the coast.  We will arrive at Portugues Beach to meet Juan and Felipe Cuevas, the ocean steward fishermen of El Pardito Island.  We will embark on their spacious fishing boat, called a "panga" to our private, beachfront campsite on a pristine, secluded island archipelago.  They will lead us on an island tour of the mangrove wetlands, guide us to white sandy beaches nestled between rocky cliffs, and visit a Calfornia sea lion colony.  A special mini-excursion to Red Rock Point stirs our imagination of what life must have been like millions of geologic years ago when this island was underwater.  

In addition to the amazing sightseeing experience, you have the unique opportunity to volunteer in a research monitoring activity with critically endangered juvenile hawksbill sea turtles.  While we are relaxing on the beach or snorkeling along a vibrant coral reef in crystal blue-green waters, Juan and Felipe will be busy capturing sea turtles.  They will bring them to the beach so we can help collect data on the small, ancient turtles.  We help measure and weigh each turtle, take photographs of their gentle face for an innovative facial recognition study, collect any invertebrates off their shell and skin, and clip a special identification tag to their flippers.  Before we release them back into the wild, ocean, as a group we will name the turtle and meditate with her, sending her love and light as she embarks on the rest of her journey.  

As an extra to this retreat, yogis can purchase a special private session with our fabulous yoga instructor, Kate.
