CULTURAL IMMERSION

Five days of yoga and connection

to the people, food & land that sustains us

with Beth Sanchez & Derik Eselius

Fri. July 28th – Wed. Aug. 2nd, 2023

Dharma Shala Nicaragua – El Carrizal, Nicaragua



Join us for a 5-day yoga retreat and local cultural immersion experience in Southwest Nicaragua. Gather at a perma-culture farm and dedicated yoga space to practice in-depth, traditional hatha yoga and meditation.

Cultivate respectful relationship with, and education about, native land, people, food, history, and customs. Includes local cooking experience and ample time to relax by the pool, hike local trails, read, connect with fellow students, float in the ocean, and rest in a hammock.
