Hridaya Yoga - 70949 Mazunte

Hridaya path, the path of Spiritual Heart, is a gate to the deepest longing of a human being. The silent retreat and yoga classes allowed me to discover the space of deep stillness within myself. In modern society, we spend most of our time swimming on the surface of life, busy with so many things, missing the essential: deep authenticity, nakedness of the longing soul, the beauty of being. For me, the silent meditation has been an opportunity to leave my masks, dive within the vastness of myself and discover the wonderful land which cannot be known through the mind, but the longing for it has always been present in my heart. Hridaya retreat was my first contact with silent meditation and it turned out to be the treasure I have always been searching. I realized that the most significant moments of my everyday life are the reflection of this sacred space within my heart, and that I can access this space directly by going beyond the mind, to the pure Stillness. This is not an intellectual knowledge; it is the direct knowledge of the essence of human being. I am so grateful to Hridaya School for this depth and beauty.

Incredible life changing stuff. I did a 10 day meditation retreat when 4 months pregnant. The day I left the retreat I found out my partner had cancer. The power of the meditation gave me the tools to protect me and my child whilst he went through treatment. We are all happy and healthy now and loving life. I can't wait to learn more and hope to do another retreat in France soon. Thank you.

Hridaya is one of those special places that will stay with you for the rest of your journey. It is such a beautiful place with the most pure, gentle creatures you will ever come across. The teachings are filled with such deep love and humility it overtakes you. I fell in love with this place and it was very hard to leave. Sometimes coming home after exciting travels can be tough, but after Hridaya I felt more ready than I ever have in the past to go home. Two months now after arriving home and I still am experiencing Hridaya daily. I continue to meditate and feel the love and compassion all the time that I found at Hridaya even two months later. I recommend this place to everyone, no matter where you are in your path. Come with an open, beginner's mind. Do not accept the teachings, nor reject them, just observe. At the end you can make your own decision. I've gladly welcomed the lovely new additions to my life. Thank you so much Hridaya, I love you all and can't wait to return. <3

Amazing experience!! The school itself is beautiful and the people inside are the best people I've ever met. I did the 10 day silent meditation retreat and it has opened my eyes to a whole new world of possibilities. I plan on returning as soon as possible! Hridaya Yoga will always have a special place in my heart <3

I have so much gratitude for everything Hridaya school in Mazunte is offering. It is such a special place with teachers and teachings that are deep, authentic, real! With all the noise of the modern world ( external and internal), coming here for a 10 day silent retreat was one of the best gifts I could have given to myself. Here I found experienced caring guides: teachers who "walk the talk", in-depth philosophy, structure and curriculum that have been effective for thousands of others before me, warm-hearted community, affordable tuition, and, most importantly, a glimpse into "Who am I" and "Why am I here?" I can't wait to return!

Where do I even start?... When I arrived, I was warmly welcomed, and even though I was new to Hatha yoga, I felt quite at home. I stayed in the dorm, which was small and cozy but clean and comfortable. I loved being able to wake up and roll out of bed for morning meditation. The location is beautiful, being on the top of a hill with a breathtaking view of the sunrise. It's a short walk from the towns of Mazunte and San Agustinillo, both with beautiful beaches and array of vegetarian and vegan restaurants, smoothie/juice bars, etc. Speaking of food, the food was OUTSTANDING! I always felt full and satisfied, and I learned to eat more mindfully while I was there. I lost some weight without even trying -- a result of eating so many vegetables and savoring every bite. Module 1 was heavy but incredible. I have a background in meditation so I was already familiar with most of the topics, but it was a good consolidation of my knowledge and interesting to hear about spirituality from a Hatha yoga perspective. The teachers are awesome and the karma yogis are wonderful too. I met people who I deeply connected with. and who I know will be lifelong friends. Hridaya helped me let go of the bitterness and resentment I'd been holding onto for so long. Now, I feel so much lighter, and I have accepted their challenge of "integrating life into spirituality". My perspective on life continues to evolve, and I am more curious than ever about spirituality, dedicating much of my free time to reading spiritual texts and sitting in meditation. If you're ready for real growth, and people who actually give a damn about your spiritual development, look no further than Hridaya. It has had a profound impact on my life and even though it's hard for an extraverted, active person like me to slow down, I can't wait to go back for Module 2 and another 10 day silent meditation retreat. It feels more like home than my actual home now! Like most things in life, you get out of it what you put into it. So go. Do the work. And prepare to have your mind blown and your heart cracked wide open.

I wanted to wait a little after the retreat was over and let the "glow" fade so I cen really see the changes in me... This was such a profound expiriance! I only now realize that my heart was shut. I keep practicing meditation every da. I keep letting my heart open. Things have changed dramatically for me in almost every aspect. I found love for myself and a loving partner. I get much better at generating an income. I learnt to put boundaries. I deal with my demons with love and acceptance. There is so much more that is happening but it would be too long to type here:) Cloud and Arturo are amazing! They made me feel loved and safe, never judged, always with a smile and an open heart. The carma yogis too are a blessing. Thank you all so much!

I completed Module 1 and the 10 day silent retreat. Module 1 prepared me immensely for the 10 day retreat. I had huge resistance within the first week, but something within my heart kept me going. Throughout the remainder of the weeks i gained clarity on my initial resistance, i gained clarity on myself and love. I sat with everything I was feeling and I saw the light behind it all. This isn't a place of miracles, its a container that helps you find your own miracle. This place changed me, I am so grateful.
