Meals are delicious local Mexican food (fresh fish and meat are available for carnivores ;) and are eaten under a large palapa with no walls, on the beach with an ocean view.

Ashtanga Yoga practice every morning; afternoon session of discussion, meditation, or yoga therapy.

Activities include a hike to a waterfall and a boat ride to Los Meritos Island where we explore marine life and a beautiful island.

Daily Schedule:

8:30 – 10:30 Practice (practices will vary between led primary / secondary / Mysore)
10:30 – 11:30 Breakfast
11:30 – 6:00 Beach time / pool / walk to town of yelapa self study / reading / journaling
Mid-day Main meal is anytime between 12:00-3:00
6:00 sutra or gita discussion / meditation / pranayama / hip openers / other fun yoga stuff (no afternoon session on day of hike and island trip)
7:00 light supper – Social time

Bring books and study “stuff”. Yelapa is set back in time, there are no cars—you can only access it by boat. Last year there was still no cell phone signal there and only dial up internet available. You are here to study, learn about yourself, and deepen your yoga practice—you can use this time to dis-connect from a hectic life and spend time looking inside.

How to get here!

**YOU NEED A PASSPORT**
Fly from Harrisburg to Puerto Vallarta (MDT to PVR) approx. $650.00
Try to arrive PVR prior to 2pm (do NOT route through Mexico City), this will allow you plenty of time to get the water taxi to Yelapa. Once in the airport get your luggage and go directly to taxi stand. Take a taxi to Las Muertos Pier. Look for Hotel Lagunita courtesy booth where you can purchase a one-way water taxi ticket to Yelapa (do not purchases a two-way ticket). Board the water taxi and away you go from the hustle and bustle of Puerto Vallarta to beautiful, peaceful Yelapa. This is about a 45 minute boat ride with the chance of seeing whales, manta rays, and other marine life :) We will schedule a get together a few weeks prior to departure to review this information and travel plans.
