An Incredible Experience
This retreat was truly incredible. I left feeling like a new person. All of the staff and participants were lovely, open, supportive, and kind. La Casa de Loto is a magical place and I really didn’t want to leave. Thanks to all who poured their heart into this experience to make it so amazing. If I could I would relive it all over again!

Amazing experience
I experienced a silence I have never perceived in my life so far. The food was delightful and the staff really kind. Although Prima did not speak a lot, meditation classes gave me new tools and strategies to use in my daily practice. As a beginner, Yoga was challenging but afterwards I felt the benefits in my body. Thanks a lot.

Amazing Yoga Retreat
Casa de Loto is a wonderful place for everyone who is looking for some peace and to disconnect a few days from the busy day-to-day life. We had an amazing time there. The location is simple but super comfortable. The yoga and meditation classes were incredible, the food delicious and everyone is very warm and friendly. Would have loved to stay longer.
