Limbs Yoga Center.
 Melina
who will take you through an incredible journey of self-discovery
in one of her favorite spots, Haramara Retreat in sunny Sayulita,
Mexico. On retreat in this place of paradise filled with breathtaking
views, Melina will share her knowledge of Hatha yoga, Ayurveda,
whole foods nutrition, and healthy lifestyle promotion in her unique
style known as Seasonal Vinyasa.
In the world of Ayurveda (sister health science to Hatha yoga),
winter is the season associated with the dosha called kapha, which
means it’s a time when the earth and water elements go out
of balance. Our retreat will focus on ways to adapt to the seasons
and avoid the typical winter kapha imbalances such as weight gain,
depression, or lethargy.
 While
reveling in the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean in one of Haramara’s
yoga pavillon’s, we will practice asana sequences that increase
core temperature, circulation, metabolism, and your spirit! We will
also engage in mini-workshops to learn ancient philosophies that
can be woven into today’s lifestyle and alignment principles
to strengthen the body’s inherent tendencies toward seasonal
imbalances. We’ll enjoy creative time together near the beach
to awaken the muse, and also get to enjoy silence while resting
in the “cave of the heart.”
About Haramara:
 Haramara
(a sacred Huichol word for "Grandmother Sea") is located
amid the mountains in the most beautiful coastal region of the state
of Nayarit in Mexico. Breathtaking views and untouched tropical
vegetation embrace the charming and cozy palm-thatched "cabañas"
(bungalows). Each cabaña has been carefully designed to subtly
merge the internal and external environments while meeting strict
ecological standards. The cabañas feature comfortable beds,
with hand woven sheets, and original and carefully designed bathrooms.
Visitors have called Haramara "a sanctuary for the soul".
