Doing yoga in warm tropical beaches has
been one of my favorite activities for many years. My travels throughout
Mexico have convinced me that Playa La Ropa in Zihuatanejo bay is one
of the loveliest beaches in all of Mexico. Three-quarters of a mile
of clean white sand. Every winter since 1983 my family has vacationed
in Zihuatanejo. We like it!! Join me for a week of Iyengar Yoga, relaxation,
sun, gentle ocean, warm tropical breezes, and a taste of Mexico.

The Place:
Ah, Zihuatanejo! A tropical paradise on the Pacific Coast of
Mexico. White sand beaches. Warm waters. Palm trees. Ever drink
a fresh coconut with a straw? The temperatures are usually 86
during the day, and 68 during the evenings. The sea breeze off
the bay is cooling and refreshing. Seafood is the local specialty.
The many restaurants in this small coastal town serve fabulous
local, as well as international cuisine. They will even cook your
catch for dinner. The gentle waves of the bay are perfect for
swimming and surfing. There is also snorkeling, scuba-diving,
deep-sea fishing, sailing, wind-surfing, dancing, and horse back
riding. Shopping is an experience, whether it is for a 50 cent
foot long papaya, fine silver, or ethnic crafts. Come and enjoy
Mexico!
