We are located at Playa Troncones, at the juncture of the paved road which runs from Federal Highway 200 to the beach and the rustic oceanfront lane that houses restaurants, outdoor activities outlets, accommodation rentals and private residences.
Located only 20 miles north of Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo and an easy 45-minute drive to the International airport serviced by a number of International airlines including Alaska Airlines, Continental, American, America West, Frontier Airlines, Mexicana and Aeromexico, Playa Troncones is highly connected, yet still a world apart. Its proximity to Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo affords you a full choice of shopping conveniences and recreational possibilities, all just a short distance from your world-class yoga retreat and resort.
Present Moment is the perfect antidote to the chaos of everyday life. Authenticity was imperative in the construction of every inch of this resort. Thus, all bungalows have an indigenous palapa thatched roof, hand-crafted in the Mexican tradition, and are furnished with a pillow top queen-sized bed, luxurious 400 count cotton bedding and a canopy of white linen.
With 5 deluxe bungalows and 3 family bungalows, somewhat blurring the lines between the indoors and out, with its amazing vantage points to the sea, gardens and pool, your accommodation will be the perfect place to rest yourself after a full day of yoga and surf at Present Moment. Just a 30 second walk the beach, let the sounds of the ocean lure you to sleep each night.
With 3 air conditioned suites, for those seeking a little more similarity to the comforts of home. Centrally located, you will be just steps away from the beach, amazing yoga classes, massage, and fine dining. If you enjoy strolling the shore at sunrise, these stunning bungalows will have you on your way in no time. Hand-crafted and beautifully appointed, a true home away from home.
YOUR RETREAT LEADERS
SARAH PASCUAL
A San Francisco Bay Area native, off the mat Sarah is a deep-down ocean lover looking for the next chance to surf, dance, hike, or travel. With over 10 years teaching experience in public classes and workshops and eight years leading world-wide yoga retreats, her intention as a teacher is to help students find a deeper connection to their yoga practice and more authenticity, passion, and ease to all parts of life.
Sarah believes that to teach this practice, you have to live it; her job as a teacher starts with her day-to-day life, first and foremost, showing up for herself. That means making space to nurture herself through surfing, yoga, dancing, getting into nature, and eating healthy.
Sarah encourages her students to invest time, money, and energy into their passions and see what happens. Watching students grow, transform, and heal is a true gift that inspires Sarah to continue on her teaching path.

“I went on the yoga retreat hoping for a get away and disconnect from work and stress of every day life, and also some good healthy exercise for the mind and body. I can’t even express how rejuvenated and fulfilled I was during and after the retreat! It was one of the most spiritually, mentally, and physically healing things I’ve ever done for myself, thanks to Sarah! I recommend it to anyone who needs a refresher course in how to live a happy life, one day at a time!”
