Realign Your Being: A Soul Reset Yoga Retreat at Haramara
Escape to the breathtaking, oceanside sanctuary of Haramara, Sayulita, for a transformative journey back to yourself. This is more than a yoga retreat—it’s an intentional Soul Reset. Join San Diego-based co-hosts Lisa Mello and Meesha for a week dedicated to shedding layers, restoring balance, and realigning your deepest self through a meticulously crafted practice designed to nourish your body, mind, and spirit. Enjoy yoga twice a day, guided meditations, breathwork, Yoga Nidra, Gentle Somatic Yoga, journaling practices, and more as you invest a week in (re)discovering your best self.
What sets this retreat apart is the harmonious expertise of your two guides. Together, Lisa and Meesha offer a full spectrum of practice—from invigorating Vinyasa to deeply healing Yin and Restorative styles—giving you the perfect balance for a true “reset.” You will benefit from two distinct, yet perfectly complementary, teaching styles, ensuring a rich and comprehensive experience:
The Blend of Strength & Surrender: Lisa brings a welcoming, nurturing energy to the practice, rooted in her Master’s in Education. Her classes perfectly balance building physical strength with the grace of surrender, making yoga truly accessible for every body. As a studio owner and advocate for community wellness, Lisa is dedicated to leaving you feeling recharged and re-energized with her intuitive guidance. Lisa’s passion is creating an all-inclusive community, ensuring that no matter your background or experience level, you will feel supported and empowered on this journey.
The Art of Flow & Deep Insight: Meesha is an internationally recognized teacher and teacher training facilitator with deep experience at destinations like Rancho La Puerta. With her background as an English master, she weaves poetic imagery and philosophical tenets into every class. You’ll explore creative, layer-based sequencing that grounds you in anatomical alignment while inspiring deep presence and profound body-mind connection.
Benefit from the combined expertise of these instructors, who have not only been teaching consistently for more than 15 years but both retreat leaders are also well-versed teacher training leaders and program facilitators, adding to the retreat’s uniqueness. The complementary knowledge of two seasoned teachers—one specializing in accessible, nurturing community practice and the other in advanced alignment and profound philosophical depth. Experience classes that evolve naturally, offering both a grounding foundation and unexpected flows to promote new levels of body awareness. Learn not just how to do a posture, but how to connect deeply to your body, mind, and heart.
