WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?
Each morning will start with sunrise tea or coffee, followed by yoga sutra study, chanting, and an active 2 hour class suitable for all levels. After the class, a delicious breakfast will be served in the open-air dining area overlooking Chacala Beach and the ocean.
The practice hall at Mar De Jade is specifically designed for Iyengar Yoga, featuring beautiful wood floors and wall ropes. With panoramic ocean views and floor-to-ceiling windows, our hall is airy and filled with natural light.
There will be time each day for your own adventures and quiet contemplation. Consider visiting the Altavista petroglyphs, hiking to another local beach and taking a boat ride home, or exploring the local Mexican markets. Alternatively, spend the day exploring Mar De Jade, enjoying a spa treatment or a relaxing nap in a hammock under the shade of our thatched-roof palapa.
Mar de Jade offers a swimming pool and Jacuzzi nestled amidst bougainvillea flowers and palm trees. You can wander on the paths lining the hotel grounds and visit the herb garden. Chacala Beach is also nearby for swimming, paddle-boarding, or kayaking, weather permitting.
Before sunset, a restorative and pranayama practice will leave you refreshed after the day’s activities. Join us for 6 days of good company, healthy food, rejuvenation in the fresh ocean air.
“The practice (asana, breathe, chanting) was incredible and beyond my expectations. I felt so in my body and outside the noisiness of my brain. I came home in such an exhale sort of space.” ~Pilar S.
“Mar de Jade is one of the great undiscovered pleasures of Mexico… A tropical setting that lifts the spirits and fires the imagination.” – San Francisco Chronicle

ABOUT THE LOCATION
Mar de Jade sits on the shores of Playa Chacala, a small Mexican fishing village with plenty of charm that still retains a traditional way of life. It has easy access to Puerto Vallarta International Airport, just 90 minutes south, yet feels worlds apart from the big tourist developments. The town and surrounding areas have much to offer; from jungle hikes and ancient petroglyphs, to the simple pleasure of playing on the soft sand and swimming in the year-round warm ocean waters.
Chacala is the most pristine and picturesque bay in the Riviera Nayarit, with golden sand, coconut trees, and palapa (thatched-roof) restaurants along the shore, surrounded by tropical jungle mountainsides. Home to approximately 400 residents, the town’s unhurried lifestyle is complemented by the welcoming and friendly attitude of locals.
GETTING THERE
It is best to fly in and out of Puerto Vallarta which is Gustavo Diaz Ordaz International Airport,in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. Airport code: PVR. There are many daily non-stop and connecting flights to choose from.
We will arrange the pick-up and drop-off for the entire group to/from Mar de Jade and the airport. Plan to arrive in the late morning to early afternoon, and to depart in the early afternoon to late evening.
Some students choose to come a few days earlier or stay a few days later in Puerto Vallarta or one of the towns en route to Mar de Jade such as Sayulita or San Jose.
