  Colonia
Retreat in Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay Five-day Retreat,
February 16-20, 2004
     
 
Estudio de Yoga Iyengar La Chacra, Colonia.

This retreat entails five 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 1800īs. 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.

Weather in Uruguay and Argentina in February is very hot, as it is the last half of the summer. Temperature during the day is in the high 80īs, and during the night it cools down somewhat to mid 60īs.

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.

9:00a.m. - 12:00p.m. - Asana class
