Discover embodied stability and ease with this inspiring yoga and dance retreat in Troncones, Mexico, a tranquil and beautiful beach, washed by the warm clear waters of the Pacific Ocean. Troncones is located 20 miles from the fabulous sleepy fishing village of Zihuatanejo. We will be staying on Manzanilla Bay, the most protected and beautiful beach in Troncones at Casa Marea and Merece tus Sueños. You'll enjoy delicious, healthy seafood and vegetarian entrees prepared by professional gourmet chefs with two meals included each day.

Just a short walk down the glorious beach, you will arrive at Yoga del Pacifico, the outdoor studio where each day Zoreh and Tiffany will offer two classes exploring yoga asana and breath to unfold natural, fluid  movement inside the structure of the pose. As restrictions fall away you'll expand authentically into your own unique sense of play, joy, and expression of organic dance.

During your retreat you will enjoy ample opportunities for restful, quiet time, or to partake in many activities such as swimming, bird watching, eco-tours with special hikes to caves, a swimming hole and a kayaking adventure on a nearby lagoon. Horseback riding, massage, shopping trips to Zihuatanejo, a boat trip to beautiful Ixtapa Island with snorkeling, and deep sea fishing are other optional activities.

PLUS!!! something truly magical is happening the week of the retreat: a full lunar eclipse, which will be visible from the beach in the early morning of Tuesday, November 8th. For those who wish to rise and see the eclipse early, Tiffany is offering to prepare personalized readings of the moon in the birth charts of those who wish to participate. In western astrology, the placement of our natal moon gives us insight into our relationship with our feelings, our subconscious, and our prior lifetimes.
