ONE YOGA, GUATEMALA RETREAT

November 22~29, 2008

Lake Atitlan, Guatemala

Villa Sumaya is a hotel, restaurant, and retreat center located on Lake Atitlan at 4,500 feet above sea level. Its world-class, lakeside yoga facility with hardwood floors and a cascading waterfall boasts breathtaking views of Lake Atitlan and the three volcanoes, making it an ideal location in which to relax, unwind, and draw closer to your Self. Your teachers will support you in this endeavor by guiding you through a two intensive asana classes each day. The retreat will be structured in a workshop style, allowing ample time to explore standing poses, forward bends, backbends, hip openers, arm balances, twists, and inversions. Pranayama, meditation, mantra, mudra, and yogic philosophy will also be incorporated for a complete One Yoga experience.

As we all know, it's one thing to go through the motions in a yoga class, and another thing entirely to take the yogic mentality off of your mat and into your life. Not just another picturesque resort, Villa Sumaya is also an organization that practices yogic principles by being active in the local indigenous community and supporting fair trade and sustainable development practices. Due to its close ties to the community, retreat participants will have a unique opportunity to participate in such activities as a protection ceremony with a traditional Mayan shaman, a tour of sustainable buildings and projects in the local community of Santa Cruz, and visiting a fair trade market where crafts made by local artisans can be purchased in good conscience.
