Lake Atitlan: A Yoga Practice Immersion
The Rhythm of the Immersion
Set on the shores of Guatemala's Lake Atitlán, this four-week immersion is an opportunity to step away from daily routines and immerse yourself in a steady rhythm of yoga, study, creativity, and community. Revered for its dramatic volcanic landscape and vibrant Mayan culture, Lake Atitlán offers an inspiring environment for focused practice and personal exploration.
Participants may attend any combination of one to four weeks. Shawn leads Weeks One and Four with a focus on Ashtanga Yoga, breath, and philosophy. During Weeks Two and Three, guest teacher Joy joins the intensive to share somatic movement and yantra painting, expanding the experience through embodied movement and sacred art.
