The Experience:
Accomodations
Six nights' accommodations include transportation to and from the La Manzanillo (ZLO) airport. The pleasant 45-minute drive to La Manzanilla is filled with beautiful scenery through mango groves and banana plantations.
Casa Amiga is nestled in the cobblestone streets three blocks from the beach in the heart of La Manzanilla. Full of love, this spacious three-level house is equipped with five bedrooms, each with twin beds, three kitchens, and three bathrooms.
The many outdoor spaces give different angles for perspective and reflection to find yourself home away from home. Views skimming the ocean sunset through a thick layer of palms and backdrop of the Sierra Madre mountains.
Beach Time
Just 2 blocks from Casa Amiga, the beach is picturesque and quiet, cuddled up in the welcoming bay of Tenacatita. With over two miles of uninterrupted oceanfront, it's perfect for long walks lined with plush palms! Or choose to enjoy a margarita at one of the many quaint beachfront palapa restaurants.
The calm surf is welcoming for a swim or a backdrop for a lounge chair nap. The beach of La Manzanilla is special to us because of the peaceful environment and calming, quite vibes, world-renowned sunsets, making it the perfect backdrop for the experience we are excited to create or you.
Yoga
The yoga experience of Luna Light is a slow, thoughtful and intuitive practice to center around the wholeness that is the sacred YOU. Movement and breath is guided and suggested for you to follow the intuition that only you can interpret as your practice.
We want practice with us to feel like home with the energy of friends and none of the responsibility. Whether it be a smooth vinyasa flow in the morning to wake up the body gently or Yin in the evening to settle in for a restful sleep, our inspiration is to leave our guests feeling light, connected, and refreshed.

FAQs:
Q: When should I arrive and depart? Where do I fly into? A: You'll fly into La Manzanillo, Mexico (ZLO). You'll fly in on November 4th and depart November 11th. Feel free to reach out with questions.
Q: How much yoga experience do I need to have? A: None! Or a lot! It doesn't matter as this is much more about nurturing your body and finding movement that feels good for you.
Q: What's your refund/cancellation policy? A: Due to limited availability at each retreat, we require a non-refundable hold deposit of $500 to reserve a space at the retreat. ​ Full payment for the retreat is due within 6 weeks of the start date. ​​ Refunds: ​​ If you cancel within 31-60 days or more before the retreat start date, you forfeit 50% of your payment (less deposit). If you cancel within 30 days or less of the retreat start date, you forfeit your entire payment. ​ If you cancel (or postpone) your booked retreat date, Luna Light does not offer refunds for any reason. A portion of your payment, or deposit payment, may be used as credit for another retreat date and package; and must be taken within 1 year of your original retreat date. We will gladly transfer your credit to the name another person upon your arrangement of that transfer. We strongly recommend that you purchase Travel & Cancellation Insurance. With most agencies, insurance must be purchased within 7 days of making your reservation. Please be sure that your insurance policy covers you for all relevant SPORT ACTIVITIES that you will be engaging in on your trip and TRIP CANCELLATION. Depending on the policy and conditions, travel cancellation insurance will pay for some or all cancellation fees. You are welcome to choose any international travel insurance provider.
Q: What do I need to bring? A: Not much, really! Some clothes for yoga, your yoga mat, swimsuits, sundresses, sunscreen, a book or journal, etc. We'll send a packing list after you sign up, but you don't need much.
Q: Can I have a private room? Do I get to choose my roommate? A: Casa Amiga is a large house with 5 bedrooms which means everyone will have a roommate. We think it's one of the most fun parts of the experience, actually! And since there are plenty of nooks, patios, and common spaces for everyone to spread out you'll have a nice balance of privacy and time with other participants. If you'd like to room with someone in particular, let us know ahead of time and we'll work to make it happen.
