Guyatri Mantra
Join us for 3 days on the mystical shores of Lake Atitlan in the Mayan village of San Marcos, immerse yourself in the practice of yoga and yogic culture through the Yoga of Beauty Workshop, move with your 5 yogic bodies known as the Koshas and go deep within towards the path of self-realization.
Yoga Of Beauty gives you a deeper unserstanding of where the practice of yoga can take you, while you practice at your own unique pace in a beautiful, tranquil & majestic atmosphere.
Yoga is a practice in being present to the intelligence of the body, breath, mind & heart. When the body is relaxed, the breath at ease, and your mind is quiet, then an intuition emerges that guides one towards conscious movement, action and thought, into the realm of self awakening.
As we practice we learn more about the internal space we inhabit, our thinking patterns, emotions, and the clarity that exists within us throughout all we experience in life, moment to moment. Serenity & peace of mind begins to surface more often and with practice becomes the constant state of awareness.

A sattvic diet, also referred to as a yoga diet, is a diet based on foods which, according to Ayurveda and yoga, assist in cultivating sattva guna, which helps lead to clarity and equanimity of mind while also being beneficial to the body, traditionally described as pure foods that are rich in prana, organic foods are therefore recommended for both their purity and vitality.
