Lake Atitlan, Guatemala
March 1-8, 2024
“Where the rainbow gets its colors”
This is the Mayan phrase from which Lake Atitlan gets its name. 🌈 Imagine turquoise crystalline waters surrounded by volcanic mountains, dotted with 13 colorful eclectic towns, each a short boatride or hike away. Soak up the immense blue abyss sparkling in the sunlight, covered with blooming wildflowers. High-altitude Lake Atitlan is the largest lake in Central America, and it is one of the most beautiful lakes in the world.
Learn the power of mindfulness with a daily devotional practice at a dream-like escape yoga retreat in Guatemala. Experience fire and blue lotus ceremonies with powerful indigenous leaders. You will wake each morning to earth’s music, no need for your alarm.
Renowned Villa Sumaya is a deeply peaceful natural sanctuary on Lake Atitlan and will be our retreat haven. In Sanskrit, Sumaya means a long-awaited dream come true.

Our week will flow like ~
First night (March 1st) in the historical, charming, cobblestoned town of Antigua + breakfast and transit + boat ride to our retreat home, Sumaya, on the Lake.
6 days / 6 nights accommodation at Villa Sumaya, Lake Atitlan’s renowned, nature-soaked wellness resort.
3 wholesome, delicious meals per day. Villa Sumaya is known for its culinary excellence and offers its own Sumaya Sol Cookbook.
An immaculate day may begin with a dip in lake waters, followed by a light breakfast and/or juice. From there…
Practice will fill and energize the majority of your mornings with a dynamic, powerful 75-minute Vinyasa Flow, Breathwork Practice (all to specially curated, signature playlisting) and Surrender Exercise in a lake plunge to boost your neurological, cardiovascular and cellular systems.
The afternoons will offer some structure and some play — choose to join the group for all or some planned activities or choose your own adventure.
