Renew your spirit and passion for life in just one blissful week. Join me off the grid at the tropical oasis, Haramara Retreat Center, for a magical inward journey; get grounded in the rawness that is the Mexican jungle, practice being present under the Pacific sun, bend and stretch without the distractions of laundry or groceries, and breathe freely as you revel in the organic culinary mastery of the Haramara kitchen. Expect 3 delicious locally-sourced meals a day, one morning and one evening yoga practice, peaceful and comfortable cabana accommodation, optional participation in a variety of activities (spa days, boat tours, bird watching), and spectacular black sand beach and ocean views (with migrating whales!).
The Mexico Jungle Spirit Retreat is ideal for anyone looking to remember how to practice living in the moment, anyone who wants to pause their busy lifestyle and reflect on the beauty of this planet, and for anyone who wants to to relax in an environment where all the details are taken care of. Guests always leave this lush and tropical immersion feeling inspired, nourished, calmed and recharged. I am grateful to host people of all yoga backgrounds and abilities; everyone is welcome.
*Please note that this retreat is located on a hill overlooking the ocean. There is a pool and restaurant at the top of the hill, the beach is at the bottom, and the cabana accommodations are scattered along the jungle path that connects the property. Thus, a certain degree of fitness and mobility is required to attend the retreat as you will be hiking along this jungle path to get to your cabana, yoga classes, and meals.
“Martini Yoga retreats are a great way to escape to beautiful destinations. I’ve been on several of these adventures and every time I’ve met some of the best people in some of the most amazing places. The only downside is that you never want to leave.”
“Laura’s retreats are fantastic! I leave the retreat feeling renewed and ready to conquer my busy life. She helps me to feel centred.

“The retreat was a great mix of beautiful scenery, fun yoga practice, delicious food and amazing company. Oh and tasty wine, who could forget that! It was a relaxing and rejuvenating experience which I hope to repeat!”
The Accommodations
Native and untouched tropical vegetation surrounds and embraces each one of the 16 private palapa cabanas (palm thatched cabins) and an 8 bed deluxe "dormitory". Each charming and cozy cabana has been carefully designed to subtly merge the internal and external environments while meeting strict ecological standards with as little disturbance to the flora and fauna as possible. Stunning ocean and/or jungle views abound from every cabana.
Cabanas are spread over the 12 acres of the property making each one absolutely secluded and private. Enjoy the rustic luxury of any one of the personally designed cabanas, which feature comfortable beds with hand woven sheets, oil lamps, and candles for softly lit evenings, and original and uniquely designed individual bathrooms. All cabanas have private hammocks for lazy afternoon siestas (naps).
Bathrooms are elegant and private with every detail attended to - even fresh flowers. Getting to and from places at Haramara is a delight - every foot of jungle path and the private beach is hand raked each morning. It is all part of the magic.
The Yoga
Each day Laura will lead 2 all levels yoga classes. The morning class will be a vinyasa flow style class whereas the evening or afternoon class will be more gentle and restorative. Laura will also lead some conversation on yogic philosophy, history, and spirituality throughout the retreat. Laura is able to accommodate anyone on her retreats, including those with severe injuries and/or no yoga practice whatsoever. Classes will on average be 1.5 hours in length.
