Reviews
Yoga bliss at Prana del Mar
I just got back from the most amazing yoga retreat at Prana Del Mar! I went knowing Tai from Sword and Lotus as I had taken her classes in Seattle. I had a private room which was very beautiful and well appointed. The meals were so delicious and it felt so decadent to have such nice and healthy meals prepared three times a day. The kitchen staff paid such close attention to dietary restrictions for each guest and still they came up with mouth watering food!
The studio spaces were amazing, the salt water pools, the landscaping, and the fact that it's completely solar powered are all reasons I would highly recommend this as a retreat space. I hope to come back again. Well done Prana Del Mar!
