Dear Fellow Yogis,

Welcome to the most beautiful and serene location for our week-long yoga retreat in Patagonia, Chile. Nestled in the charming town of Futaleufu, our retreat offers the perfect balance of inner peace and outdoor adventure.

Imagine waking up each morning to the sound of birds chirping and the warmth of the sun on your face. As you step out onto the sunshine, you are greeted by breathtaking views of the Patagonian landscape. After a nourishing local vegetarian breakfast, you will begin your day with a yoga practice designed to awaken and energize your body and mind.

Throughout the day, you will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities, all while surrounded by the beauty of Patagonia. Go horseback riding through the stunning landscape, hike to majestic waterfalls, or take part in  a whitewater rafting adventure on the Futaleufu River. Or, if you prefer, simply relax and take in the peaceful surroundings.

Our experienced instructors will guide you through each yoga session, catering to your individual needs and abilities. You will leave our retreat feeling rejuvenated, both physically and mentally.

At night, retire to your comfortable and cozy accommodation, where you can rest and rejuvenate for the next day’s adventures.

Instructor – Fields Marshall  or To be decided

I started teaching Kundalini yoga when I was about 19 years old at the University of Virginia and from there is has been many different styles of yoga.  I most regularly practice Ashtanga Yoga.   Although this is a yoga retreat, the main focus is on reconnecting and experiencing nature.  I lived in Chile for over 15 years and explored many river and natural areas and it really doesn’t get any better than Futaleufu. You are going to love it.

Testimonials

¨I fell in love with the Chilean community even more than before, I highly recommend to everyone to go visit or to move there. It's considered one of the most spiritual places on Earth, the lamas are moving their Buddhist temples all over South America. I'm back with more love that I could of imagine

Maria Sanes June 28, 2016

"I have traveled to over sixty countries and have never had a more personalized tour than what Mabel offered." "At first when I booked the tour with Mabel I was a little hesitant since she is just starting off in her business. She had several set tour dates but none fit within my time schedule.

Diane June 28, 2016

Mabel is extremely welcoming and always fun to be around. She introduced me to a wonderful yoga instructor and I was able to take classes everyday. She would then have several options for daily activities, such as, different hikes, kayaking, hot springs or Paddle boarding. She is knows Pucon extremely well and can show you
