The Lake Atitlán Escape: Yoga & Adventure Retreat / Christa Elliott


Join us for 8 days of yoga, adventure, culture, and exploring one of the most beautiful and spiritual lakes in the world. Surrounded by volcanoes and jungle, Lake Atitlán is the kind of place that makes you want to slow down, get outside, and soak up every moment.

Think sunrise yoga overlooking the lake, volcano hikes, waterfalls, Mayan culture, local villages, lake days, and evenings around the fire with new friends. We'll balance adventure with plenty of time to relax, whether that's lounging by the pool, soaking in the solar hot tubs, or enjoying a slow morning with coffee and a view. Come for the adventure. Stay for the people, the culture, and the experience of being somewhere completely different from everyday life.

❋ Daily Yoga & Meditation Daily movement and mindfulness for body, mind, and soul nourishment.

❋ Nourishing Meals Enjoy 3x daily vegetarian meals prepared with fresh and healthy ingredients.

❋ 2 Guided Hikes & A Paddle Adventure Hike to Indians Head, a moderate 45 minute scenic hike with views of volcanoes, as well as a farm tour and waterfall hike. Paddle Lake Atitlan, take in volcanic views, and cliff jump for extra adventure.

❋ Sound Healing Sessions & Traditional Ceremonies Enjoy sunset sound bath sessions, a mayan fire ceremony, and a sweat lodge ceremony.

❋ Beach Bonfire & Time To Explore Enjoy a beach bonfire, and enjoy free time to explore town or hike around Villa Sumaya.

Christa Elliott

Hi, I’m Christa — founder of Mountain & Sun Yoga Retreats. I started Mountain & Sun from my love of travel, yoga, wellness, and the transformation both have brought into my life.

Yoga is medicine — but so is community, adventure, culture, and slowing down in nature. These retreats are about seeing the world alongside like-minded people while providing you a container for self-connection, growth, and reflection. A safe space to explore, play, and gently step outside your comfort zone.

Each destination is chosen with intention — offering beautiful settings to practice, quiet moments to reflect, and shared experiences that turn strangers into friends. No cliques. No pressure. Just real connection and space to slow down and breathe. I can’t wait to explore with you.
