Del Mar a la Montaña: Retiro de Yoga y Enseñanzas de los Vedas

From April 25 to 27 at Ikal Tepoztlán, participants can immerse themselves in a weekend filled with practices inspired by Ashtanga, Vinyasa, and Rocket Yoga, balanced with Yin Yoga, meditation, pranayama, and philosophical teachings from the Vedas with Pandit Balmiki Sharma. They will also have the unique experience of ascending the Tepozteco hill, strengthening both body and mind in a natural setting, accompanied by morning Ragas and Vedic mantras.

Vegetarian meals will be provided, as well as spaces designed for connection and learning.

Program Description

Participants will take the time for themselves, allowing space to enjoy and learn new aspects of Yoga in this magical location. The practice of Yoga first entered the host's life in the Mexican Caribbean 16 years ago, and has been a home for them for two decades. With roots in Cuernavaca, Tepoztlán has strongly influenced their life; thus, merging both realms, From Sea to Mountain, is a dream come true.

First Day

The retreat will begin on Friday, April 27 at 3:00 PM with a gathering in a circle to set Sankalpa, the intention for the Sadhana, the practices to be undertaken throughout the retreat. Following this, Guruji will share his teachings and a guided meditation practice will take place, culminating the day with a warm welcome dinner and a restful night.

Second Day

The next day will kick off with an energetic Vinyasa class, Detox Flow, followed by breakfast and the beginning of Mauna, the meditation of silence. Participants will then ascend Tepozteco; upon reaching the pyramid, they will practice Mala Mantra amidst the spectacular views of Tepoztlán, breaking the silence beautifully. After returning to Ikal for a delicious brunch, there will be teachings from Guruji and a Yin Yoga session to release muscle tension and soothe the mind. The day will conclude with a splendid dinner.

Third Day

On the final day, this beautiful space will be wrapped up with a progressive Vinyasa Yoga practice, pranayama, meditation, and a tasty breakfast, followed by discussions with Guruji that will prepare participants for their journey home or the start of a new adventure.

It is hoped that this program of Yoga and philosophy resonates within participants and that they join in this wonderful experience in the magical town of Tepoztlán. See you soon! Itzel
