PRACTICE IN PARADISE AT MAR DE JADE
FEBRUARY 7-14, 2026
Nestled between the tropical jungle and the pristine sandy beach of Chacala, Mexico. Mar de Jade is a premium resort destination for yoga, play, rejuvenation. We are so excited to be offering Ashtanga for the Rest of Your Life in this magical location.
ashtanga for the rest of your life
This retreat will inspire you to continue a consistent practice once you return home and give you the tools to establish Ashtanga yoga as your wellness ally… for the rest of your life. Join Chris and Erica for an active, peaceful, laughter filled week of learning and sharing. You will leave well-rested, yet exhilarated, and ready to return to your daily life with a new perspective and tools to bring ease and calm. Ashtanga is often referred to as a ‘vigorous’ practice for the young, however, with Erica’s approach, it can be adapted for everyone, in all stages of life.
Healthy Meals

The menu is mainly vegetarian with chicken and seafood options (special diets and food allergies can accommodated). Meals are served in one of the open air dining areas directly overlooking the ocean with incredible views.
