Solstice Yoga Center - Vacations, Workshops and Retreats in Mexico Greetings!

"Changes keep us young, open our minds and rouse our curiosity"

After 10 years of "Solstice Yoga and Vacations" we finished our lease and handed the center over to the family.
We will continue under the new name Solstice Yoga Center and from now on our activities will be at La Loma Linda. It is situated in the center of Zipolite, offers beautiful bungalows, an amazing yoga space and splendid ocean views.
Join us for a Yoga Holiday, a deep workout, daily classes, private classes or an interesting yoga teacher training.
You can enjoy all of this with plenty of time to relax in your hammock to
the sounds of the ocean and delight in the life of the beach.

Con Amor,
Brigitte Longueville

The Teaching
Relaxation as Practice


Yoga Holidays in Zipolite, OaxacaChronic stress often is the reason for stiffness in the body and confusion in the mind.
It is so important to learn to concentrate on relaxation, something that is not common in our society. We concentrate on work.
Being in Zipolite, on the beach, away from daily routine and responsibilities, it is a pleasure to enter in that unknown space, in the deeper layers of body and mind. Mobility grows without effort and there is time to observe and strengthen the emotional body that is related with the physical changes.

"Try to do nothing"
