Nestled above the Pacific Ocean on 12 private acres of tropical jungle with a private and pristine beach, Haramara (“Mother Sea”) is an exclusive and intimate seaside yoga resort offering sensual tropical harmony to every guest, along with superior yoga and wellness experiences. The magnificent 360-degree view yoga pavilions, with their high thatched roofs and handcrafted hardwood floors, have been positioned to take advantage of the panoramic views of lush mountains while taking advantage of the soothing ocean breezes. The open-air spa facility puts you back in touch with nature, as you are pampered body and spirit. The pool is an outstanding feature: an infinity pool over the Pacific! The pool area and terrace boast a wonderful juice and snack bar, serving also before-dinner cocktails. The sleeping cabana experience is enhanced without electricity, allowing the illumination of oil lamps and candles, leaving behind the tedious demands of your electronic age. *A note of wonder and wellness: The rooms have no electricity and no connectivity. Just nature, quiet, and time to listen to the breath.

Testimonials

“Absolutely amazing. Thank you for teaching on trauma and being available with tools and insight. Such a blessed weekend. I am refreshed & inspired.”

Audrey, United States

“My expectations were undoubtedly met and I was nourished by the training from the inside out. Kali has a way with words and I found myself entranced and delighted with the way she offered her unique and very wonderful sight of Yin yoga. Kali brought to our attention the integration of asanas, pranayama and meditation but also how we can dive more deeply into WHY we do this in yoga. Talking about the meridians and the importance of our Prana and chi and how we can move this powerful energy through our body in a more mindful and appropriate way. We learned this physical part of yin yoga but what I enjoyed most was the deep thoughtful meaning she brought to my own life and consciousness. “

Naomi, United States
