Yoga Nidra

We will practice this ancient form of yoga many of the days.  It is a deeply restful practice, moving through different levels of consciousness with guided meditation provided by the teacher.  Learn skills to find and foster stillness and relaxation in the body, leading to lower stress hormone levels, less inflammation in the body and a healthier, calmer life.  Deep intention-setting is also incorporated into this practice, planting the seeds for lasting growth and change.  You will have the opportunity to journal, reflect, and absorb the practices learned this week.

Here is an excellent article of a Harvard study about the benefits of adding meditation to a vacation: lasting genetic changes around the stress response and immune function:

Puerto Angel, Oaxaca, Mexico

Picture
Hotel Cordelia's, Puerto Angel, Oaxaca, Mexico
Puerto Angel is a quiet fishing village, free from the resorts and commercialism seen in the bigger centres of Mexico.  It is only about 60 km from Huatulco and very easy to get to.  

​The hotel is small and quaint, with only 15 rooms, many with ocean views.  It is directly situated on the beach called Playa Pantheon.  There are a few restaurants along the beach and around town.  The rooms are large and bright with air conditioning and fans.  They have kayaks for our use (no extra charge) and can arrange tours for you (snorkelling, horseback riding, wildlife boat tour of the mangroves.)

Relaxing on the beach

Steps from the hotel rooms, soft sand and warm waters

Local towns with so much so see and explore.  This corner of Mexico is so quiet and untouched.
