How wonderful to be able to travel again for the first time in so long! Lara and Jayme are so excited to share this beautiful trip with you, filled with warmth, movement, relaxation, amazing oceanic views, awesome sunsets, great food, and even better company.
We will start each morning with an energizing Vinyasa class, followed by a delicious, healthy breakfast. The day will be yours to explore the area, the town, go hiking or surfing, enjoy a day trip, get a massage, or simply relax by the pool or on the beach. In the evening Lara will lead you through a grounding Yin class or heavenly, relaxation-inducing Yoga Nidra class. We will then enjoy a tantalizing local dinner together.
Our spacious Yoga studio is fully equipped with all the props we may need. It is covered by the palapa thatched roof but open air on the sides, giving us an awe-inspiring view of the Pacific ocean while we practice. Imagine listening to the soothing rhythm of the waves as you rest in Savasana!
In addition to some of the aforementioned activities there is a kayaking and eco tour day trip guided by a marine biologist, horseback riding, and every afternoon there is a sea turtle release to reverse the endangerment of this wonderful species, and you can partake in this magical event. Did we mention the incredible food? We look forward to feasting with you every morning and evening.

Just a 30-second walk to the beach, let the sounds of the ocean lure you to sleep each night.

About Troncones & Getting Here

Troncones Beach is a small, recently-developed community situated on some 3 miles of pristine Pacific beach – a strand of white sand punctuated by occasional rock outcroppings often harboring tidepools teeming with fascinating saltwater life. The charming village is home to a small school, a public library (donated by generous local residents for the education of the village’s children), a church, several dry goods outlets and a few other small provisioning services for essential items. All of these are couched within a traditional and tropical Mexican ambiance.

The international airport is serviced by a number of International airlines including Alaska Airlines, Continental, American, America West, Frontier Airlines, Mexicana and Aeromexico. Troncones Beach is highly connected, yet still a world apart.
