Pause and Reset - Chakra Balancing - Yoga in Nature Retreat

Have you been feeling stuck or out of balance lately? Have you noticed ongoing digestive issues, headache, neck, lower back or chest pain that is not caused by an injury? Have you had issues to focus and concentrate? Have you had difficulties to get a good night sleep?

Your Chakras (energy center) could be out of balance!

During this retreat we will take the time to slow down, meditate, explore, nourish and ground. We will focus on one chakra each day, enabling us to identify possible chakra imbalances and giving us the opportunity to bring these into balance, enabling the natural flow of energy (Prana) for a more joyful, vital and healthy life! Throughout the week we will endeavour to share in an educational way, so you can go home with new learnt tools, which we will encourage you to continue to practice after the retreat.

Why this retreat?

To deepen your practice.

To detox your body and your mind.

To realign and balance your chakras.

To connect with yourself, nature and other yogis.

To gain an understanding of the different aspects of yoga beyond the physical practice and mat.

About Melissa

I was born and raised in Mexico, from French parents and lived in London most of my adult life. After a year of travelling, I have found my new home in Panama, where I am now dedicating myself to sharing my love for yoga full time.

Yoga had such a great impact on my life that I decided to share this practice with others.

My focus is to provide yogis with a space where they can come as they are, let go of limiting beliefs and nurture greater self-love, all through the simple practice of breath, movement and mediation.

Food

It’s a priority for us that this retreat provides your mind, body and soul with time and nurturing to relax and replenish. Food is a good place to start. We will be offering vegan, gluten free, in parts raw food with fresh, local, and mostly organic ingredients.

All food, snacks and drinks are included for these 7 days.

The menu is designed to follow our journey through the chakras with intentional meals to help balance the energy centers.

If you have any allergy or specific dietary need we ask you to let us know as soon as possible.
