You will experience an exceptional vacation with a variety of inspiring yoga practices: Kundalini, Power Yoga, Vinyasa Flow, Acro Yoga and Partner Yoga sessions.
There will be enough free time during the day to relax on one of the various beaches (including a clothing optional section), options for surf lesions, a visit to the nearby Turtle Center or to get a treatment or massage at the Shanti Spa. This is a dream Yoga vacation that will liberate your spirit, awake your body, revive your soul and allow you to reconnect with your true nature.
We invite you to reconnect to your inner strength to manifest the best of you in your life!

“The spectacular 1.5km stretch of pale sand called Zipolite, beginning about 2.5km west of Puerto Ángel, moves at a slow pace, withering in the midday heat. This coast’s original budget beach-bum magnet, it attracts a bohemian international array of sun lovers, latter-day hippies and other hedonists to its wonderfully elemental surroundings of crashing surf, pounding sun, rocky headlands and tall palapa-roofed buildings. There are still plenty of reassuringly rustic budget lodgings and an unmistakable hippie vibe, but a number of more comfortable accommodations and classier restaurants at the west end of the beach now cater to a midrange clientele who also love the Zipolite ambience. There’s a certain magic here, and you may postpone departure more than once.
Zipolite has an exaggerated fame as a nudist beach. Total nudity nowadays only happens in a couple of coves at the western end of the beach and in the small bay called Playa del Amor at the east end, which is a favorite spot for gay men.” Lonely Planet.
