A Powerful Pause. Yoga and Pilates Retreat
Sayulita, Mexico Haramara Retreat October 5-12, 2024
Press pause for a week of superior Yoga, Pilates, Meditation and a relaxing wellness experience in one of Mexico’s most charming coastal towns. Haramara (Mother’s Sea) is an exclusive seaside yoga resort nestled above the Pacific Ocean on 12 private acres of tropical jungle and a pristine beach.
Move in the open air, relax in the infinity pool overlooking the ocean, eat gourmet meals with local organic ingredients. A perfect blend of nature and lavish living! The casitas are located on strategic points, each with their own beautiful jungle/ocean view, and total privacy. They are open to nature and at the same time closed and cozy. You can take a shower feeling like you're outside, listening to the birds and soaking in natural sunlight. These breathtaking accommodations do not have electricity or WiFi. Your cabana is lit by oil-lamps and flashlights are used to traverse the property after sunset. Be lulled to sleep by the light of the moon and the sound of the ocean waves. The deepest imaginable disconnect to feel more connected to the natural beauty surrounding you. Truly uninterrupted bliss.
(Electricity and 3G service are available in the restaurant, Wi-Fi is available a short walk to the town of Sayulita)
The Experience
Yoga, Pilates and Meditation
We’ll be offering all levels Yoga and Pilates classes everyday. Begin each day with a Yoga or Pilates class to get the blood flowing and the body opened up. Made to order breakfast shortly after. Your second Yoga or Pilates class will be prior to dinner. The classes will play off of each other, full body sweats followed by surrender. Building on a fun, unintimidating community experience. Celeste uses a relatable and playful approach to fire deep untapped strength while relieving overused muscles. Megan is positive and always ready to giggle and will also go deep, offering a soulful practice, guided meditations, bringing intention and clarity to movement. Their merge will help you harness power through uncertainty and an inner calm within intensity. The perfect merge for the deepest submerge.

Celeste is a Senior Pilates instructor with 15+ years of experience. From a small Stott studio in Kailua, Hawaii, where she taught equipment at a boutique STOTT pilates studios, mixed mat at the local YMCA, then ending the day with sunset pilates, a surf turf sweat session on a white sandy beach. It's the clients during this time that taught her what commitment and devotion to your training looks like, that you can both focus hard and make your muscles quiver while cracking up, and that a weekly class can feel like a warm family gathering. Now in Seattle, but bringing that same personable approach, a very diverse background of movement, and a whole lot of aloha to her classes. She loves working a muscle in a very unassuming way and taking a practice that can be perceived as intimidating and nit-picky and keeping it playful.\
