The Wise Warrior: Yoga for Strength and Vitality in Midlife and Beyond
Come experience an amazing week of joy, reflection and yoga in Sayulita, Mexico! This seven-day retreat gives you a beautiful place to connect with nature as you reconnect with yourself through movement and breath, effort and relaxation, playtime and journaling. And from past retreats it’s clear: this is a wonderful place to make new friends and find a sense of community, whether you come alone or with a friend or partner.
Yoga instructor Kate Harding focuses on building strength, balance and mobility in the body – qualities that will help us remain vital as we move through life. Kate provides loads of support and encouragement for all levels and ages. Many first-time yogis have become faithful practitioners with her guidance, while experienced yogis find plenty of challenge and opportunity to deepen their practice. With a focus on self-care and self-awareness, Kate meets you exactly where you are, and helps you move forward one breath at a time.
Throughout the week there will be plenty of free time for you to explore the beach, go whale-watching, take SUP lessons, visit the quaint town of Sayulita, unwind by the pool, or simply laze in a hammock after a relaxing spa treatment. The Haramara Resort is truly eco-friendly: meals are made with fresh, local and organic ingredients, and most of the luxurious rooms have no electricity, are lit by oil lamps, have open-air showers, and allow you the true luxury of living in harmony with nature. This retreat is open to all levels, and beginners are warmly welcomed. Please note that Haramara is built on a jungle hillside with dirt paths and stairs so please reach out for details if you have questions about accessibility.

About the Instructor:
Kate Harding (RYT 500) has been deepening her practice of yoga for more than 25 years, and shares her love for the practice in her classes and retreats. Her goal is to provide a challenge that is accessible to everybody – young or not-so-young, experienced in yoga or new to the practice. Her approach is filled with love, laughter, compassion and encouragement. She believes our path to self-knowledge runs through our bodies, and that yoga helps us tap into our own inner wisdom.
Kate has studied with many expert teachers, including Mark Stephens, Judith Hanson Lasater, Jason Crandall, and Janet Stone. She melds this experience into her own unique supportive style, where movement is tied to breath and effort is balanced with ease. Both experienced and new yogis find she gives them the challenge and the support they need to deeply enjoy the practice.
