Nurture Through Nature ~ A Spring Equinox Yoga Retreat
March 19 - 22, 2023 at Lake Atitlan, Guatemala
"Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant." ~ Robert Lewis Stephenson
Join us in paradise, at the beautiful Casa CobAnanda, a private property nestled on an avocado grove with beautiful views of Lake Atitlan in Guatemala. You’ll experience rich Mayan culture, sustainable lifestyles, and a vibrant Yoga community.
Awaken and cleanse your body, mind, and spirit as we step into the beauty of a new season. Spring is a time to shed the darker, sometimes heavy energy accumulated during winter, and for gradually “lightening up.”
In this retreat, we’ll focus on invigorating the body’s detoxification processes and bringing in warmth to nurture seeds of renewal. Together we’ll explore practices to help set a clear intention for the coming season, to support release where it is needed, and offer space for healing and abundance.
The retreat will include daily meditation, yoga, and mantra chanting. Special activities include a guided Sweat Lodge, Cacao Ceremony, and group meditation walk / swim at the lake.

More info about the location and travel tips can be found here: puravidya.com/cobananda.html#gettinghere. We recommend making it at least a week’s vacation and taking some time before or after the retreat to explore the villages around Lake Atitlan. Some of our favorite destinations include KulaMaya in the town of San Marcos, or if you want to explore around the lake we recommend the Villa Sumaya (Santa Cruz) or the Mystical Yoga Farm (near Santiago).
