17th Annual Winter Retreat

MAR DE JADE, MEXICO – FEBRUARY 17-24th, 2024

Iyengar Yoga in Mexico

Join Lara on the Pacific Coast of Mexico in February of 2024 for her 14th year bringing a group here, and Mar de Jade has become a home away from home. All the participants feel the same way, and most choose to return year after year. What's not to like?! Temperatures range from the mid-70s to 80s during the day and cool down to the mid-60s in the evening—for a week-long yoga retreat. This will be her 11th time to Mar de Jade (her 14th annual Winter retreat to South America). Each morning, we start an active 2-hour yoga class followed by a superb breakfast in the open-air dining area that overlooks Chacala Beach and the ocean. There are several hours between meals and classes to take part in the numerous activities and excursions on offer, such as whale watching, hiking, shopping in local markets excursions, and spa treatments, or choose to relax beach and/or pool-side and soak up the sun and view to your heart’s content. Before sunset and dinner, Lara will help you to relax further with a delightful restorative and pranayama class.

*Limited ocean-view rooms are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
