How do you want to age?

Most of us want longevity – but with a caveat. We want longevity with vitality. We want to live well for as long as possible. Throughout this weeklong immersion, Joanna will introduce you to various practices to help you improve and maintain physical and mental health as you age. If you are in the second half of life, this week will inspire and motivate you to begin daily practices that will develop virya – vitality – starting wherever you are.

  • Yoga for strength, flexibility, and to improve your balance.
  • Somatics for efficiency, ease, and coordination in movement.
  • Mindfulness Meditation to enhance neuroplasticity and general wellbeing.
  • Breath practices to benefit cardiovascular and immune health.

All ages and levels are welcome. No prior experience is necessary. Joanna’s style is friendly, accessible, and interesting for beginners and experienced practitioners.

Travelers arrive via air to Puerto Vallarta International Airport. Haramara is located just outside the quaint fishing-turned-surf town of Sayulita on the Pacific Ocean.

Spread across a private beach and connected by a network of private trails, there are 18 unique individual casitas, including a beautiful ample dorm, two yoga shalas, an open-air dining room, and a large comfortable terrace at Haramara’s saltwater infinity pool. The cabanas create a natural but elegant space that offers comfort and coziness with beautiful and architecturally original bathrooms open to the jungle but providing complete privacy.
Packages Include:

A typical day on retreat will begin with an early morning sunrise meditation followed by an active, strength-building yoga practice. Following breakfast, your day is free to relax, visit the spa, head into the town of Sayulita (within walking distance of Haramara) or take advantage of an adventure offered by Haramara guides. Joanna will offer optional workshops based on the group’s needs several times during the week. Topics could include:

  • Self-compassion practice
  • Introduction to meditation
  • Group coaching sessions
  • The neuroscience of change
  • Introduction to handstanding
  • The science of the breath
  • Introduction to Yoga Philosophy

We will gather for restorative yoga and somatic movement practice in the afternoon. Following dinner, an evening meditation practice will be offered.

Everything is always optional at Joanna’s retreats. She believes that each person should be guided by their intention for the week with the priority on self-care. Most of us lead lives filled with many obligations. Allow your retreat to provide an open field to take each moment, each day as it comes.

Option to add-on one-on-one sessions at additional cost.
