Mar de Jade -- situated on the Pacific coast of Mexico between the blue-green sea and tropical mountainside of Chacala Beach -- is surrounded by natural beauty and tranquility. It is the ideal location to connect with yourself, deepen your practice, and explore the rich culture of Mexico.
Join Eve Holbrook and Liza Toft for a seven-day retreat in this spectacular location, 90 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta airport by car. We will teach two daily yoga classes suitable for all levels from relative beginners to more advanced practitioners - an active asana practice in the morning and a restorative pranayama practice in the evening. As the week progresses, we will explore the relationship between the various aspects of our elemental nature, bringing them into balance as we build upon a steady foundation of fundamental principles, towards a deeper, more refined practice that addresses individual needs, and develops each student’s skills and abilities. If you have any physical issues or injuries, we will help you modify for them.
Between sessions, there will be plenty of time for optional excursions (including a tour of the Altavista petroglyphs, traditional Mexican markets, nearby villages and beach towns, whale watching, and a boat trip), spa treatments, or simply relaxing at Mar de Jade.
The full cost of the retreat ranges from $1690-$3050 per person, depending on choice of accommodation (please go to www.mardejade.com for descriptions), and an Early Bird Special is available to those who register before September 15, 2019. The pricing listed below includes all yoga classes, lovingly-prepared organic meals, and seven nights accommodation. It does not include airfare to Puerto Vallarta, ground transportation, spa treatments, bar drinks, or gratuities.

Mar de Jade was created in 1983 in the spirit of active community service, gratitude for the natural environment, and cultivation of human life. To that end, it has founded numerous community projects, including regeneration of the land via non-toxic farming methods on a 19-acre organic farm, and an after-school program for local children in Las Varas, a nearby farming village. It is far more than a vacation destination; it is a community we love to return to year after year.
