Yoga in Yelapa with Sarahjoy

Yoga has the power to transform us, to revive our expansiveness, grace, grounding and capacity for awe embodied. Yelapa has this same power. ​Enjoy the combination of a beautiful sacred space to practice yoga, immersion in tropical beauty and being part of village life. The combination of yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, pranayama, chanting, dharma talks, walking, hiking, ocean, river, tropical nature and being part of this Mexican village life affirms Yoga’s ultimate theme of Oneness.​​Yelapa, reached only by boat, takes people back in time enhancing the feeling of “getting away from it all” and invites participants to remember the simple life. ​​Pura Vida Eco Retreat offers a sacred space deeply connected to nature for yogis to enjoy. Enjoy beautiful views of both the ocean and the jungle from the venue each day.

Her commitment to yogic study and to creating the rhythms of ashram-style learning and studying has deepened every year. Particularly as contemporary life has increased in tempo, stress, anxiety, and health challenges, Sarahjoy’s abiding vision for us to realize the yoga in all things – and to be able to sustain such a felt sense amidst what daily life brings – has expanded to include more teachings from the yogic texts, chanting practices, and Ayurveda. She is also adept at integrating the most relevant teachings from brain science and interpersonal neurobiology. “All life is relational. We begin in relationship. We live in relationship. We experience our disappointments and challenges in relationship. It is also in relationship that we have our greatest capacity for healing.”    – Sarahjoy Visit us at Sarahjoyyoga.com for yogajoy info on teaching training, retreats, workshops and private yoga therapy sessions.
