Guatemala Yoga Retreat / Julia Morrison & Megan Mulrine


Join us for an 8-day yoga and spiritual immersion on the shores of Lake Atitlán, one of the most energetically powerful and sacred places in the world. Surrounded by towering volcanoes and rich Mayan culture, this land invites deep connection—to nature, to community, and to yourself.

Our home for the week is a collection of beautiful lakeside villas set into the mountainside, overlooking the water. Each morning, gather for practice with panoramic views of the majestic volcano—an experience that feels both grounding and expansive.

This retreat is rooted in spiritual exploration and intentional living. Throughout the week, we’ll move beyond the physical practice of yoga and into deeper layers of awareness through asana, meditation, breathwork, and meaningful workshops designed to support inner transformation. We’ll honor the traditions of this sacred land with powerful ceremonial experiences, including a traditional Mayan fire ceremony, a heart-opening cacao ceremony, and a sweat lodge ceremony—each guided by local wisdom and offering space for release, reflection, and connection.

Our days are thoughtfully curated as a full immersion experience, with every detail intentionally designed and all logistics seamlessly taken care of. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be guided through a natural, intuitive flow—moving from practice to ceremony to adventure in a way that feels both effortless and deeply aligned.

We’ll weave in moments of adventure and play—waterfall hikes through lush jungle, paddleboard yoga on the lake, and cliff jumping into its crystal-clear waters—balanced with evenings of softness: kirtan, sound healing, restorative movement, and shared meals as the sun sets behind the volcanoes.

This is a space to slow down, to listen, and to reconnect—with yourself and something greater. Whether you’re new to yoga or have been practicing for years, you are welcome here. Come solo or with a friend—our retreats are intentionally designed to be supportive, spacious, and deeply nourishing.
