Private Island Yoga + Wellness Retreat

Imagine your days, waking up on your own private island with endless lake views. Fueling with fresh pitaya smoothies and Nicaraguan grown coffee. Treating yourself to a calming and invigorating yoga practice on a wood deck overlooking Lake Nicaragua. Nourishing your body with deliciously fresh meals prepared by a private chef. Afternoons spent discovering peaceful coves on a stand up paddle board, boating through the lake, enjoying a fresh mint mojito by the pool. Days finishing in gratitude with a meditative yoga practice. IMAGINE! All of this and so much more await you during this soul reviving retreat…

YOGA
The heart of our Wellness Retreat. Daily yoga and meditation classes we be offered twice a day. Here you will receive more individualized guidance to dive deeper into your practice. Classes are suitable for all levels, beginner to advanced. Classes will be crafted to fit the group as a whole. Here we will dive into deep exploration on our mats to strengthen our yoga practice. Every morning will begin with a 1 1/2 hour invigorating vinyasa practice on the wood deck over looking the warm abundant lake. Evenings will end with a relaxing yin based yoga practice and a hearty meditation meant to calm and soften the mind and body.

SURROUNDING AREA
The small island of Isleta El Espino is a short 7 minute boat ride to Granada, Nicaragua a city on the shores of Lake Nicaragua. It’s home to multiple Spanish colonial landmarks that have survived repeated pirate invasions. The city’s main plaza, Central Park, is dominated by the colorful, neoclassical facade of the Cathedral of Granada, originally dating to 1583. The Centro Cultural Convento San Francisco nearby is famed for its displays of pre-Columbian statues. We will be spending time here as a group to explore, the artisan street markets, stop into the local coffee shops, and revel in the deep history and architecture of the town.

ADVENTURE
A great perk of the island is that we have unlimited access to boats, kayaks, and stand up paddle boards to explore Lake Nicaragua. We will have one guided group stand up paddle board experience where we will be led into peaceful coves and educated on the great history of the lake and volcano that formed the islands. As a group we will also hike to the top of active, Volcano Mambacho. This hike is a mixture of easy with portions of more strenuous trail added in. The views at the top are breathtaking allowing you to see for many miles as well as view the active steam holes and magma! If you didn’t already know Nicaragua is well known for its abundance of Cacao- we will have the treat of a chocolate making demo from a resident cacao grower!
