Join Sara for a week of nourishment and movement on Playa Troncones in Troncones, Guerrero; one of the last sacred and authentic destinations in Mexico.
These all level yoga classes are focused on flow and mobility.
This is a chance to place yourself in paradise and do as much or as little as you want. You can do all the yoga, choose to just chill on the beach, or both. Vinyasa in front of the ocean, learn mobility drills, take inspiring workshops, schedule private sessions to work on a particular area of your practice (these are included), or simply stretch out in the sun by the pool or on the beach with a smoothie or fresh coconut.
Present Moment Retreat in Playa Troncones, Mexico is a truly MAGICAL spot -one of those spots on earth you have to experience to understand. Spectacular beauty, consistent temperatures, gorgeous beachfront yoga platform, pure energy, fresh local cuisine, and a wonderful community.

Your Facilitators
Sara Mandel Krug
Sara was born and raised in Canada and has been living in the US for 20 years.
She was a professional ballet dancer until injuries necessitated a break. She returned to her passion for movement with jazz, hip-hop, personal fitness training and eventually yoga.
What got Sara hooked on yoga -what felt different than any previous movement practice- was the conscious uniting of movement and breath.
Sara discovered Ashtanga Yoga and it became her primary practice along with Vinyasa flow. She began teaching Ashtanga during her first 200hr YTT and her passion for teaching grew rapidly from there.
Since then she has trained for thousands of hours with distinguished teachers all over the world in Ashtanga, hand balancing, mobility, Yin, Restorative and MovePat.
A passionate mental health advocate, she believes that the awareness we cultivate on the mat can be taken out into our lives to help us with our daily challenges, to practice loving and accepting ourselves as we are. Yoga was instrumental in helping Sara recover from anxiety and trauma.
Her classes aim to provide a balance of strength, mobility and flexibility for all levels, with a focus on breath, creating space, staying present and most of all having a sense of exploration and fun!

Your Boutique Bungalow
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 to 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.
About Troncones & Getting Here
At the heart of charming Troncones Beach, nestled between the lush mountains of the Sierra Madre and the sparkling Mexican Riviera, Present Moment Retreat combines the ambiance of nature’s grandeur with personally challenging mind-body work, set in harmony on beautifully-landscaped tropical grounds.
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.
You can fly into Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa, the airport is located only 20 miles north and an easy 45-minute drive. 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. 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. We can assist you with booking all flights and airport transportation.
