Guatemala Yoga + Seva Retreat

A yoga retreat that invites connection through devoted practice, seva (selfless service), and responsible tourism. Staying in the tropical mountains just outside of Antigua, we’ll settle in for a week’s immersion into yoga asana, meditation, pranayama, philosophy and reflection, with time built into each day for relaxation or explorations in and around Antigua. We’ll get to know the community and support local tourism through a walking tour with a local guide, a coffee farm tour with a local cooperative, a cooking class with our guide’s family, and a fire ceremony led by a local shaman. The heart of this retreat will be our community day with our longtime community partners, Vamos Adelante, on the slopes of Volcano Fuego supporting their work around food insecurity and access to education. This retreat qualifies as 18 hours of CEUs for yoga teachers. More details below.

MIKKI TROWBRIDGE

Mikki Trowbridge is an Oregon-based yoga teacher and instigator of community through Yoga + Beer and Resonance Yoga Collective. In addition to teaching yoga, Mikki is a Board Member for The Village Cooperative and loves traveling, reading, sipping on craft beers and getting outdoors for a hike, a paddle or to catch a sunset.

FUNDRAISING COMMITMENT

We are asking that as part of your commitment to this trip, you are prepared to raise at least $250 in donations for our Community Seva Activities to support the partners we will interact with on this trip.
