8 Tage Meditation und Yoga Urlaub in Oaxaca, Mexiko

During this retreat, you will stay in a private room at The Sanctuary. The Sanctuary is housed in a luxurious colonial style five-bedroom house set within a walled garden in a peaceful neighborhood. The Sanctuary offers a choice of private or shared rooms. Despite their own unique energy, the rooms offer proper personal space, comfort, tranquility, and inspiration.

The mandala master suite

The mandala master suite is the most luxurious room at The Sanctuary. It has a queen bed, its own luxury bathroom with bathtub and shower, as well as a large private balcony looking over the garden. Facing east, it has that vibrant light from the morning sun as well as the evening freshness when it's time to relax. Large windows and fans help this to be the coolest room in the house.

This is a personal retreat that will give you time to meditate, to reflect, and to integrate stuck emotions. Maybe you want to break away from the hustle and bustle of daily life to relax and recuperate. Perhaps you yearn for something beyond the mundane and you want to explore your inner world. You feel like delving deep into a meditation or yoga practice.

Maybe you're experiencing transitions and wish to develop a new passion, find some direction, realize your purpose in life, and even learn to surf while you are there. During this retreat, you will enjoy two daily yoga classes and meditation sessions, evening sessions that may include meditation, a heart circle, breath work, Tibetan bowls, or a conscious movie session.

You will also enjoy body therapies or massages, surf lessons, horse riding and stand up paddle boarding activities, excursions through the Manultapec Lagoon, waterfalls, and nature reserves.

Puerto's most famous beach, Zicatela, is great for surfing but not usually for swimming. Playa Marinero, Carrizalillo, Puerto Angelito, and Manzanillo beach are usually swimmable. La Punta is a walking distance from The Sanctuary and is quite swimmable at times.

In this retreat, you will enjoy a daily breakfast, lunch, dinner, and unlimited fruit snacks. All meals at The Sanctuary are vegan, nutritious, delicious, and healing. The Sanctuary is a plant-based household serving mostly raw and gluten-free foods. Please ask in advance if you have any specific dietary restrictions so The Sanctuary can let you know if the kitchen can handle your request.

The normal menu consists of a large green smoothie for breakfast sometimes with one or more tonics that may include ginger, moringa, turmeric, agnihotra ash, cardamon, cinnamon, aloe vera, cayenne, cloves, among others. Healthy vegan food is made for lunch and dinner. All meals are homemade with lots of love.

Although avoiding snacking between meals might be more supportive to the healing process, for those who wish, The Sanctuary usually supplies a mid morning nutritional snack, and either a mid afternoon drink or fresh fruit.

Please be aware that the kitchen is not available for guests use. No coffee, meat, fish, processed junk foods, or dairy products are allowed at The Sanctuary. If you are not used to such a clean diet, you may experience detox symptoms such as flu-like feelings, body aches and pains, headaches, tiredness, or emotional outbreaks. As you eat more higher vibration foods, the old lower vibration energies in your body will release in physical and emotional forms. The symptoms may be reduced by following some of the healing modalities which are included in the price of your stay.

Fasting on Sunday

The Sanctuary has a fast on Sundays with water, coconut water, or fruit for several reasons. Fasting gives your digestive system a rest and provides an opportunity to focus on the spiritual. Although not required, if fruit or coconut water is not enough for you, you can visit one of the many nearby restaurants, this practice is beneficial for the majority of the guests. No food preparation is done on Sundays.

During your free time, you can take part of several activities such as taking an additional surfing lesson, swimming, boating, or simply relax under a palm tree. You can also choose to do some volunteer work at The Sanctuary or book one of their massages.
