Introduction

Doing yoga near 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. Vegetarian? No problem; there are many local offerings. 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!
