Kameko personally invites you to put down the hustle of life and nurture yourself in nature at her home and private retreat center, Santuario Shala, on a virgin beach on the Oaxacan coast of Mexico.
We begin the day with a beach views and epic sunrises, a 2 hour strong flow practice and end with an afternoon restorative or mellow flow and sunset. We will explore Ayurvedic medicine, relax with a sound healing, ground with a cocoa ceremony. We offer plenty of time to explore, connect, rest and play. There will be plenty of free time to go on adventures, release sea turtles, be still in nature, pool or the sea, or add a massage service or excursion. We will take an evening shopping trip and dinner excursion in Puerto Escondido. The menu for the week will be delicious local and fresh food with a focus on Mexican specialties. All meals and non-alcoholic beverages included. (vegetarian, vegan, gluten free options available). Join us!
