This retreat is perfect for all levels and ages. It will offer a balance of continuing education for teachers and a restful experience for recreational movers. We are offering our knowledge and expertise, and we welcome students to take as much or as little as they see fit.
The group is staying at a hostel called One Love.
It’s a simple and very beautiful spot. Its called a hostel because of its simplicity. There is no hot water (it will be so hot outside the last thing you will be thinking about is a steamy shower) There is internet, but no TV. There is a restaurant on the premises that has some of the best food in Puerto Escondido. They will be open all day to serve us wonderful food and coffee. There is also a small community kitchen on the premises for students wishing to shop and prepare food for themselves.
TRANSPORTATION
We recommend a direct flight to Huatulco, from there its a 90 minute drive to Puerto Escondido. West Jet and Air Canada offer direct flights from Toronto.
We do not recommend searching for flights in search engines or travel agents from our experience they sometimes miss the most obvious route, go directly to the airline site instead.
PRICING
The price for all the classes is $790 for the week. Students wishing to book a spot on the retreat must pay in full. Please note, this price does not include food and lodging.
Once you have paid for the retreat you can choose your lodging options, pricing ranges from $260 (shared room with four people) to $980 (private king size room) for the week.
We do not accept payment for lodging, rather students are responsible for bringing this payment with them, to be handed in on the first day of the retreat.
Please note, you are not obligated to stay on the premises of One Love Hostel, there are few lovely places nearby, if you do not reserve a spot with us at One Love, you’ll be responsible to find your own accommodations. Here are our recommendations, they are within 5 minutes walking distance.
