LOTUS AZUL Surf-Yoga healing retreat
We invite you to join us in relaxation, rejuvenation and pure enjoyment at one of our 6 day, 6 night Healing Surf Yoga Retreats in the beautiful sea side town of Sayulita, Mexico. Release all concern and find comfort in the delight of just being. Wake to a delicious breakfast, breathe deep in your daily yoga ritual…and this is just your morning!  Each afternoon, we will be offering various activities. 3 of these days will be surf lesson/excursions to outer-lying beaches.  One afternoon, we will tour the Sayulita beaches on horse back.  And finally, we will take a whale and dolphin watching boat ride, as this will be their local mating season in the Pacific Ocean.   You will also be treated to your choice of 2 bodywork-healing session from one of our highly experienced and nurturing professionals.  We see it as our purpose to relieve the tensions and struggles of your being, to soften the stresses of daily life, and to refresh, support and
revitalize you in an open, tropical and healing environment. Slow down, fortify your being, play and invigorate your exuberance for life in the warm Mexican Winter Sun.  Let us, at Lotus Azul, take care of the rest.
