"The yoga retreat with Rae was wonderful! The lake is remote enough to
provide a rich cultural experience for the small groups she accomodates in
this area where the Mayan way of life still flourishs. We stayed in a pretty
cottage with great food, 2 yoga classes a day and exotic plants and
hummingbirds at our doorstep. We met local artisans and attended the first
yoga class the maya women from the village had ever attended. This trip was
a once in a lifetime treat I look forward to trying to replicate".
