Location
Nestled in the serene Panamanian village of Cambutal, our retreat is set amidst the rugged beauty of the Azuero Peninsula. A five-hour drive from the bustling capital of Panama City, this tranquil haven sits at the southernmost tip of Panama, where the Pacific Ocean whispers against black sand beaches and verdant jungles cascade into majestic mountains.
Days are filled with exploration along the Pacific coastline, surfing the pristine waves that grace some of Panama's finest breaks, savoring delectable meals crafted from fresh, locally-sourced produce, and indulging in rejuvenating massage treatments. And of course, our yoga practice unfolds against the backdrop of crashing ocean waves, within the exquisite confines of Sansara's renowned yoga shala. Equipped with all the essentials, including mats, straps, bolsters, blankets, and blocks, it offers a seamless sanctuary for our practice, inviting us to dive deep into the transformative power of yoga.
Cambutal is not just a destination—it's a transformative experience, a place where the rhythms of nature harmonize with the beat of your heart, guiding you towards deeper connections and newfound possibilities.
