A Retreat-Like Experience By the Sea

Looking for a vacation site or remote worker friendly hostel to deepen your yoga practice? La Casa Long-term Hostel might be everything you need. Navigating the perfect balance between the freedom to explore Ayampe and surroundings, while also including four weekly yoga lessons in your stay, the pace is set to encourage you into building a consistent practice. This balance is also reflected on the different yoga styles taught at La Casa: from sunset Yin sessions which are ideal to restore your body after hour-long surf sessions or jungle hikes, to more dynamic Vinyasa flows, you are encouraged to find what suits you best, to play, explore and get creative with the movement possibilities around your mat!

Your yoga teacher,Nair, shares well rounded practices and makes sure to always incorporate breathwork and meditation spaces, as well as philosophy drops, leaning into deeper spheres of the yoga practice which happen beyond the mat. The oceanfront setting is just the cherry on top of the pie, as the sound of the ocean and its vast extension are the perfect pieces of inspiration for you to dive into journaling and provide clarity to the mindspace. You will find guidance within your yoga practices while also receiving enough independance for you to cultivate your own personal projects or adventures.

The hostel also provides you with a fully equipped kitchen, which will allow you to connect with the self care ritual that lovingly preparing your own meals represents. Living in the middle of a tropical paradise, you’ll have no problem finding fresh and affordable fruits and vegetables to make your meals extra color- and flavorful! On the more mellow days, stay reassured because the gastronomic scene will surprise you with its quality and variety for such a small town. Lastly, when in need for some extra pampering, Ayampe’s local spa is located about 5 minutes walking distance, for you to offer your body a relaxing and replenishing massage. After spending a few weeks (or months) practicing yoga in Ayampe, find vibrant health and freedom within your mind and body.
