Soul Yoga Laura

Yoga, lake air, and slower days

Guatemala San Pablo La Laguna paid

Lake Atitlán is the backdrop for a retreat shaped around yoga, cultural curiosity and unhurried self-care. Soul Yoga Laura grew from its teacher’s six years of teaching on a Caribbean island and her wish to share the practice with new people while travelling. Days include yoga and plant-based meals made with local organic ingredients, with time to settle into the quiet surroundings and explore the region’s traditions. The atmosphere is intended to feel grounding and removed from everyday demands, rather than driven by a packed itinerary. A yoga studio and sauna add space for practice and relaxation, while towels and coffee or tea are among the listed comforts. Retreats are paid, with prices starting at USD 290. The specific yoga style and daily schedule can vary, so check the details of your chosen dates with the host before travelling.
