Guatemala Women's RetreatThis women-only retreat to Guatemala is led by the knowledgeable and personable Coach Tara LaFerrara! Her vibe and coaching style is all about bringing movement, mindfulness, and a sense of adventure to your daily lives. Join Tara and a group of like-minded women in beautiful Guatemala where we can find inner peace, beauty, and love of movement through a community of empowerment!
Full of interesting history, thriving culture and beautiful natural wonders, Guatemala is a truly unique country, and a destination we are thrilled to visit. Our stay will be based at Lake Atitlan, with a serene and inspiring backdrop - the ideal setting for rejuvenation and outdoor workouts! The combination of fresh mountain air and the lake's calm waters creates a unique environment that promotes both physical and mental wellness. Fitness: With Tara’s extensive movement background, she’ll be able to get you from a Sun A to a plyo squat jump. She will make sure that all levels feel comfortable in their space with yoga, meditation, and mindful bodyweight movements. On one day, we will be visiting a local gym where Tara will lead a special all-levels workshop on weightlifting. Adventure: There are so many wonderful and exciting things to do on this retreat, and we have planned a balance of activities and free time for you. On one day, we'll experience a combo hike and kayak tour to get to know the area by land and water! Another day will be a full cultural immersion where we'll visit a nearby village and learn to cook and craft in line with Mayan tradition. Relaxation: There will be free time built into the itinerary each day, and one full day to do as you please! Some ideas are to relax at the hotel, visit the nearby nature reserve for hiking and zip lining or explore local towns. |

Itinerary Overview
Tuesday, May 7:
Welcome to Guatemala! Guests will arrive at the Guatemala City airport (GUA) and take a provided shuttle to our resort. We'll check in and then meet for introductions and a welcome yoga flow at sunset. We'll continue getting to know one another with a group dinner.
Wednesday, May 8:
This morning we will kick off our morning fitness routine with a meditation and movement session followed by breakfast. Then we'll go on a private adventure to get to know our surroundings by land and sea! Our tour will start with a kayak tour along the crystal clear water, and then transition into the land portion of the adventure: a hike along ancient paths that have been used by Mayans for centuries! This remote section of Lake Atitlan has barely been touched by the outside world. After the tour, return to the hotel for a wellness workshop / second class, a bit more restorative after the busy day, and a free night.
Thursday, May 9:
An invigorating movement session and mindful meditation will kick off the day. Then as a group, we'll visit a gym in a nearby village for a weightlifting workshop with Tara! She will walk the group through specific movements and help each person whether an experienced weightlifter or a complete newbie! The rest of the day is free! Hang out at the hotel, or perhaps walk over to the nearby nature reserve for a hike or zip lining! Group dinner.
Friday, May 10:
A morning movement session and nourishing breakfast will prep our bodies for the day ahead. Today's very special cultural experience will take us to a nearby village where we'll have a chance to spend time with local women who will teach us to cook a traditional meal and create handmade crafts. This is a truly authentic experience not to be missed! Afterwards, return to the hotel for our evening class and a free night.
Saturday, May 11:
Our final full day is all about you! After our morning workout and breakfast, you can choose your own adventure whether that's taking a Mayan cooking class, exploring local art, trying another hike, or simply relaxing at the hotel.
