Join us for our second Heart and Hand yoga retreat! Our retreats combine mindfulness, compassion, and action in amazing corners of the globe. On this unique trip to Nicaragua, you\u2019ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in yogic practices, experience the beauty of this amazing country and its people, and offer your services to the local community. It\u2019s a unique opportunity not to be missed!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our Adventure<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"granada\"<\/a>The trip begins in the historical, picturesque city of Granada, where we\u2019ll spend two and a half days sightseeing and working with La Esperanza Granada<\/a>, a nonprofit organization that assists in improving education for the underserved communities in Granada. We\u2019ll have the opportunity to meet local residents and offer our time to\u00a0a meaningful community volunteer project. We\u2019ll also practice yoga and meditation daily, enjoy local restaurants and nightlife, and engage in cultural activities. Next, we\u2019ll head to Aqua\u00a0Wellness\u00a0Resort<\/a>,\u00a0a first-class yoga retreat center that sits on the jaw-dropping Emerald Coast of the Redonda Bay. \u00a0At Aqua, we\u2019ll delve more deeply into our yoga practices, eat delicious local food, and take part in water and other outdoor activities on and around the bay.<\/p>\n

Yoga and Meditation<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/b>We\u2019ll practice yoga and meditation daily. Yoga will be geared toward all levels; newer practitioners will have the opportunity to learn the basics of yoga, while more advanced practitioners will have the opportunity to take their practices to new depths. There will be silent periods observed during the mornings.<\/p>\n

Karen\u2019s classes are spacious, rhythmic flows that focus on building prana, concentration, and strength, and offer an opportunity to move into a space of meditation and inquiry.<\/p>\n

Laurie\u2019s classes are carefully sequenced alignment-based flow classes that focus on creating mindfulness through movement.<\/p>\n
