New Years Yoga and Kirtan Retreat – Lake Atitlan, Guatemala

December 27, 2009 4:00 pmtoJanuary 3, 2010 4:00 pm

We will return to Villa Sumaya for another magical turn of the year retreat.

December 26 – January 2, 2010

$1199 USD

A New Year’s Journey of Body, Mind and Spirit.  Taking the time away from daily life to cultivate a healthy body through Yoga Asanas and healthy eating are invaluable tools to living in the modern world.  Being in a magical natural environment with a global community offers a sense of peace of mind and all together we can journey into the realm of our connected spirits.  This retreat experience will feature morning Vinyasa Yoga practices to build strength and flexibility.  David’s teaching and sequencing are open to all levels of students but some yoga experience is requested.  We will also have afternoon workshops, games, free time and fun time with AcroYoga, theater games, journal writing and intention settings as we prepare for 2010!  After dinner, the group will also gather for nightly Kirtan’s to sing the name of the Divine in vibrational blyss.

    Hi David,

    My name is Ann and I have seen an information about your New Years Yoga and Kirtan Retreat at mein Yoga Centre in Zurich/Switzerland.

    I am 49 years old and doing Yoga for about 6 month / 2 to 3 times a week. I have been traveling a lot but mostly in Africa and Asia – so I don’t know much about Guatemala.

    I would love to join the retreat. Would you be so kind and give me a bit more information: what is the nearest airport and how do I come from the airport to Lake Atitlan, is it possible to get a single room etc.

    Thanks for your feedback and kind regards from Switzerland,
    Ann
