The 5 Koshas
Yoga has been called the Science of Self Realization. The Indian Mystics really did their homework on this one, breaking the human experience down into the layers of an onion. Each day of this retreat will focus on a different layer, providing us a birds eye view at our selves and beyond. On our 6th day we will arrive at the bulls eye- the primordial self, for what all the sheaths have in common in their name is the suffix,"maya", pointing us toward the ultimate truth of our own Being. Just in time to catch a ride home and go out and live it! This retreat is especially for those who want to deepen their understanding of yoga as a physical, mental, energetic, intellectual and blissful practice. And for those who long for lasting peace.

Our Story:
Yogamala began in Israel 30 years ago and we started offering Teacher Trainings in 2013.
In 2024, we moved to Rancho De Las Estrellas, an Eco community in Oaxaca that was the right fit.
Our dream is to continue the way we began, changing lives one breath at a time. Our workshops inspire deep and lasting transformation. Our retreats push the fast forward button on spiritual evolution, and simultaneously slow down human time. Yogamala's teachings embody the love of a simpler way of life in harmony with each other and nature.
Yogamala Mexico is a Retreat Center that serves as the spiritual heart of the Rancho De Las Estrellas community. People of all countries find sanctuary here from an ever more complex and conflicted world.
