Guatemala Retreat Jan 2023

Lake Atitlan, Guatemala • Jan 26 - 30 2023

Lake Atitlan Guatemala Retreat Jan 2023

Join Sarah Spiegel, Jen Howell, and Betty Riaz from Samudra, Sutra, and Stil Studio for their annual winter getaway, this time to Lake Atitlan

This gorgeous lake side is a nature lover's paradise. We will be staying at Eco-Luxe Laguna Lodge & Nature Reserve, known for its lakeside views and remote location. 

"In Guatemala, tropical paradise is more than just the beachside towns – it is Lake Atitlan, a volcanic crater lake in the highlands of Guatemala. 

This massive lake is situated 1,562 meters above sea level and is surrounded by many different ethnic villages and soaring volcanoes."


Fly into Guatemala City and we will take you from there.

Daily Yoga, meditation, and more. Good coffee, adventure, culture, beauty, and plenty of time to relax. 

We have the entire resort to ourselves and look forward to sharing with you.

All are welcome to join this retreat.  Yoga classes will be all levels and daily outings will consist of walking through villages and towns and shouldn't be more than a couple miles.

Travel Insurance: We highly recommend travel insurance for all retreats. If you are looking for a company we suggest World Nomad. We are not affiliated with the company we have just heard good things from retreat participants who have used their services.

Instructors

Sarah Spiegel

Sarah opened Samudra in 2016 built on her long-time love of building community, creating connections, and fostering transformation through yoga, meditation, and the sharing of the Tibetan Buddhist yoga practices that have transformed her life.  Sarah’s offerings focus on bringing students into a state of flow and encourage mindfulness both on and off the mat through breath and body awareness. In addition to owning and operating Samudra Studio, Sarah leads yoga and meditation retreats locally and internationally, offers mindfulness and meditation to groups and individuals and offers instruction in mindful and embodied strength training.  She is a mentor and lead instructor for Fluid Yoga Teacher Training programs.


She is forever grateful to the dear teachers and mentors who have supported and encouraged her and who continue to share wisdom and teachings: Khenpo Lama Migmar Tseten, Kevan Gale, and Betty Riaz. Sarah completed her 200 and 500 teacher training with Fluid Yoga school. She continues her studies in Sanskrit translation with Dr. Ben Williams, and in Vajrayana Buddhism with Kevan Gale and Khenpo Lama Migmar Tseten.



Betty Riaz

Since 2009, Betty has connected and shared the teachings of healing and spiritual practices of the Tibetan Yogic Tradition. Her mission is to help others through her work at Stil Studio, teaching yoga and mindfulness, healing bodywork and leading global retreats. She is co-owner of Stil Studio & Terma Goods, both located in Historic Downtown Dedham. She is eternally grateful to her teachers from the Tibetan Vajrayana practices; Khenpo Lama Migmar Tsetsen, Kevan Gale, Dr. Eric Rosenbush and Dr. Nida Chenagtsang.

Jen Howell

Jen’s classes hum with her trademark blending of music, humor-infused philosophy, and intelligent sequencing. Prior to embarking on her yoga journey, Jen enjoyed a career in live-entertainment design; her creative core means she is constantly finding inspiration in others and her surroundings. Jen hopes to find friendship with everyone she meets. When she is not leading mindfulness practices, you may find her on stage encouraging laughter through her stand-up comedy.

Jen leads teacher trainings with Fluid Yoga, guides yoga and meditation retreats, and in 2014 partnered with Mill No. 5 to bring a new infusion of yoga to downtown Lowell, MA. Her mission is to help people find the path to happiness by creating space for transformation in an encouraging and open environment.
