The Yoga Forest was developed as a sustainable living experiment, inspired by a desire to live simply, greenly, and in harmony with all that surrounds it.

For days of transformation, immerse yourself in an eco-conscious community. Enjoy the ideal subtropical climate in Guatemala’s western highlands, with breathtaking views of Lake Atitlan and its beautiful volcanoes from the Yoga Forest.

If you wish to get a snack, juice, or smoothie, you may do so from the Café menu. Recharge your batteries with a quiet afternoon Yin/Restorative or mild yoga class before nightfall, when you’ll be served an early supper.
