Turn Back Time at Present Moment. A journey of discovery.
After a long day of travel, I removed my shoes to wander onto the beach. The water was warm and it soothes my feet as the waves ripple in. I am surrounded by vibrant colors of the sunset that are penetrating my entire body deep into my soul. I want to be here forever as the darkness comes in like a navy blue blanket and the stars are like diamonds in the sky
A portal has opened into the next morning and I have traveled back in time to a beautiful village that is just opening its eyes to the morning sun. What a restful first night to sleep so soundly with waves lulling me. My bungalow sits on the edge of a jungle and I hear the tropical birds singing “Buenas días” My window shows a view of the rooftops and the ocean view have I jumped a timeline? It’s surreal – or… am I hallucinating?

You have come to the right place… the Present Moment! The Beauty Sojourners will teach you to just Do the Best You – negating and reversing the effects of the modern world, stress, and pressure.
While you are here, you will be surrounded by supportive goddesses who found their youth again and love you unconditionally.
Living in the present moment is noticing every cell in your body is wide awake and vibrating at a higher frequency. You feel more alive more grounded connected to ourself.
We all want to look younger and yoga is the secret weapon of aging gracefully If all the other muscles in our body need this tender loving care then why shouldn’t the 46 muscles of our face and neck?
Face yoga looks weird and targets all the problem areas that come with aging from crow’s feet to smile lines to jowls. So of course the neck and jawline are included!

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.
