Guatemala Yoga & Mayan Culture Immersion Retreat / Loren Lotus & Ryann Tillman

January 18 - 25, 2020

Deepen your Yoga practice with daily yoga classes, workshops and meditations with Loren Lotus & Ryann Tillman overlooking peaceful Lake Atitlan. You will have the opportunity to explore the many Mayan villages that surround the lake, hike to jungle waterfalls, and taste the exquisite fruits of Guatemala.

Experience a sunrise paddle board session or take a dip in the lake to cleanse yourself, followed by a yoga class with breathing techniques and meditation. Each day of our retreat will order an activity or excursion to explore the Mayan culture! Experience the magical land of Lake Atitlan, Guatemala for a week retreat of yoga practices and Mayan culture surrounded by a vortex of volcanoes. Guatemala is a land of vibrant life, filled with lush vegetation and tectonic activity. Lotus Retreats is traveling to the Sierra Madre mountain range deep in Central American for a full immersion of Mayan culture & Guatemalan nature.

IMG_0032“Atitlan” in Nahuatl means “the place where the rainbow gets its colors.” This mystical lake is often called the most beautiful in Central America and has inspired people for thousands for years.

Surrounded by a vortex of volcanoes, Lake Atitlan is known for its healing and mystical properties that seekers and believers feel upon arrival. The lake lies in the heart of an ancient volcano’s caldera, which filled with water after it’s final eruption 85,000 years ago. The lake and it’s three surrounding volcanoes still hold active tectonic power and people travel from around the world to feel the energy vortex created here at the intersection of Fuego de la Tierra and Paz del Lago.
