Yoga Retreat Information Package
WHEN: Saturday January 20th – Saturday January 27th 2024
WHERE: Ak’Bol Yoga Retreat and Eco-Centre, Ambergris Caye, Belize
Welcome to life unplugged at Ak'bol, Belize's First Yoga/Wellness Retreat Center and Eco Family Resort devoted and open to all styles of Yoga/Wellness . The ancient Yoga Sutras tell us that our birthright is to be BLISSFUL, JOYFUL, PLAYFUL & FEARLESS. This is your opportunity to let go of the chaos that surrounds us and embrace this birthright! Believe in yourself, and who you are and that you deserve this! BeliZe in Yourself!
Ak’Bol is located beachside on Belize's largest island, Ambergris Caye, just 2 miles from the old fishing village of San Pedro and less than a quarter mile from the second largest barrier reef in the world with world class snorkeling & diving. Leave your shoes in your suitcase and unwind to the natural laid back rhythm of the island. Enjoy meals with locally sourced organic ingredients and practice yoga and meditation at the end of the 300' pier surrounded by clear blue Caribbean water. Plunge into the sea or in the lagoon-inspired fresh water pool. Participate in organized extra activities as the sea is your playground (diving, snorkeling, sailing, kayaking, Maya ruins, on-site massage) … or relax in a hammock and listen to the birds...get through that book you have been wanting to read...write in your journal … NAP!
