HEART TO ART

YOGA RETREAT

An Immersion for Creative Expression

Imagine a different kind of yoga experience - a sensory immersion designed to enhance your inner peace while tapping into your creative potential.

Engage in mindful yoga sequences and breath techniques for physical stamina and relaxation, meditation practices to set mindful focus, culinary experiences that foster curiosity and nourishment, and guided visualizations to spark your creative artistic potential while discovering untapped parts of your inner world.

Spend time in the ocean, walking the beach, and wandering the tropical gardens to fill your senses in complete enjoyment of Panama's pacific coast.

This experience is designed to encourage you to connect with your body sensations, emotions, and your inner artist while integrating internal and external movements in a kind, gentle, and safe way.

Our chefs will craft a delicious homemade menu tailored explicitly for mindful eating experiences: arouse the senses with a delightful array of locally grown tropical fruits and vegetables prepared with tantalizing herbs and spices, presented in eye-catching gourmet dishes.

MINDFULNESS YOGA RETREATS

Join us for a yoga retreat to connect with your inner essence and recharge amidst stunning nature in beautiful Las Lajas, Chiriquí, in Panama.

You will deepen your yoga practice with our daily yoga and meditation classes, develop your skills with our three practical workshops on Mindfulness, Introduction to Shiatsu Massage, and Breathwork, and replenish your energy in a Cacao Ceremony with locally-sourced, organic ceremonial cacao from Bocas del Toro.

You will practice different yoga styles from internationally trained and certified yoga teachers in a variety of inspiring outdoor settings. One day you’ll find yourself in a lush tropical paradise, another on the edge of the expansive Pacific Ocean practicing yoga directly on the Las Lajas beach in the shadow of a traditional Panamanian yoga rancho.

These breathtaking environments will stimulate your senses and inspire new elements in your practice.

Our retreat is designed to encourage an authentic connection with your body sensations, emotions, and visions while mindfully integrating internal and external movements in a safe, kind, and gentle program.

DAILY YOGA CLASSES AND MEDITATION

We start every day with silent meditation before transitioning into a 90-minute yoga class with Pranayama to activate our body, mind, and soul. Every evening before dinner we gently close the day in a mindful evening yoga session.

TRANSFORMATION BREATHWORK

In our guided transformation breath-work sessionS you will connect with your breath as a powerful tool. We begin by explaining what you can expect during breathwork, then discuss any concerns or contraindications before we breathe together and connect deeply with our inner essences.

CACAO CEREMONY

Cacao, considered to be the food of the gods, is a superfood with various benefits for the human body. Originally grown in the rain forests of the Amazon, cacao is now grown commercially in the New World tropics as well as in western Africa and tropical Asia.

Studies have shown that cacao can lower blood pressure, improve blood flow to the brain and heart, and aid in preventing blood clots. The flavonoids in cacao help to increase insulin sensitivity and reduce the risk of diabetes. In addition to antioxidants, cacao is rich in potassium, good for decreasing the risk of heart disease, body inflammation, and stress on cells.

In our ceremonies we celebrate cacao as a heart-opening medicine, traditionally used by the indigenous people of Latin America. We honor both cacao itself and the people who cultivate this noble pant. Often these ceremonies are accompanied by an ecstatic dance or a sound-bath experience.

AYURVEDIC CUISINE

Our meals are a nourishing and balanced culinary experience combining wholesome ingredients, mindful eating, and the principles of Ayurveda to support optimal digestion, balance the doshas, and promote overall well-being. They include a variety of fresh, seasonal, and locally-sourced ingredients prepared with Ayurvedic spices and herbs tailored to individual dosha types. The meals focus on whole foods such as grains, vegetables, legumes, and proteins that are cooked using gentle methods to retain nutrients. Mindful eating practices, such as savoring each bite and eating in a calm environment, are encouraged to enhance digestion and promote a deeper connection with food.
