Deeply Nourished: A Yoga and Ayurveda Retreat

Deeply Nourished is a seven-day yoga and Ayurveda retreat at Haramara Retreat in Sayulita, Nayarit, Mexico, led by Ashley Van Dyne. It is for people who want to slow down and be replenished rather than pushed, and who are curious about how yoga and Ayurveda can work together in everyday life. The style of yoga is Hatha, and the week also draws on meditation, breathwork and Yoga Nidra.

The retreat takes its theme from the Sanskrit word Pushti, which means deep nourishment of body, mind and spirit: the feeling of being replenished, satiated and whole. When we are nourished in this way, we become less driven by striving and more available to life.

What to Expect

Over seven days, the retreat creates the conditions for that kind of nourishment. Each day holds a balance of active and restorative practice, with room for learning, reflection and plenty of unscheduled time.

Two yoga classes are offered daily. Mornings bring energizing movement. Evenings are grounding, with yin, restorative yoga or Yoga Nidra. Alongside the classes, there are discussions on yoga and Ayurveda that focus on simple, practical tools you can carry home and keep using. Meditation, breathwork, meaningful conversation and time in nature fill out the rhythm of the week, along with time for connection and community.

The free time is part of the design. You can explore Sayulita, spend time by the ocean, visit the spa, or simply rest and listen to your own inner wisdom.
