Turtle Medicine: Slow Flow Yoga & Writing Retreat

August 1-6, 2024
Bambú Guest House, Tzununá, Guatemala

Immerse yourself in the heart wisdom of the Maya and the transformative power of yoga and writing.

Turtle medicine reminds us to slow down. There’s no need to rush. Grandmother Turtle teaches patience and steadiness.

On this retreat, we’ll gather for intentional learning. Together, we’ll cultivate a slow flow full of awareness, joy, gratitude and peace.

Immerse yourself on the path of beauty at Lake Atitlan in the Mayan highlands of Guatemala for a 5 days of yoga, creativity, community and culture! Clarify your vision, purpose and truth by tapping your creative flow and inspiring new growth.

The yoga style we’ll practice is slow flow — a mix of hatha yoga, mindful vinyasa flow, and yin yoga. The sessions also incorporate breathing practices, meditation and the energies of the sacred Mayan calendar, along with time for writing, optional sharing and a guided relaxation with sound healing.

Open to all levels from novice to expert. Take home healthy habits and empowering practices that will enhance your personal well being and nurture your intuitive intelligence.
