II.  Retreat in Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay
Four-day Retreat, April 12-16
Estudio de Yoga Iyengar La Chacra, Colonia

This retreat entails four unforgettable days of yoga in La Chacra, a beautiful farm 10 miles away from the quaint, historic town of Colonia, Uruguay.  Colonia is a 45 minute ferry-ride from downtown Buenos Aires, across the Rio de la Plata (River Plate).  The studio is located in the midst of the Uruguayan countryside, built in a recycled winery from the 1800´s.  The setting is simple, rural, and natural.  Silence, clean, pure air, and the sky of the Southern hemisphere bursting with millions of stars in the summer night provide a perfect framework for a yoga workshop.  The farm overlooks the river, and is at walking distance from the riverside beaches, has a clay tennis court, and a swimming pool made from an old farm water tank.

Five hours of yoga a day and lunch at the farm are included (organic, vegetarian). Lodging in Colonia is not included. Transportation from Colonia to the farm for the classes will be provided.
