~ Paul M.
Absolutely magical place to rejuvenate your mind and body and connect with nature.
“Kawoq Forest is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. The views of the lake, natural surroundings, and yoga facilities are all amazing. The classes were all so different, it was nice to be exposed to different styles of teaching and practicing. I felt so rested and rejuvenated after my three day retreat.
I would definitely recommend doing a personal retreat here or visiting for a class if you're in San Marcos and seeing the beautiful forest.”
~ Elizabeth
Amazing experience!
“I came back from Kawoq Forest feeling refreshed, realigned, and rejuvenated. I have a fresh perspective and feel very centered. My time at Kawoq Forest helped me to heal so much and I am feeling liberated. The people were warm and welcoming. The yoga classes were not too challenging but helped me to develop my skills immensely.
I enjoyed learning from different yoga teachers and styles, as well as the daily workshops offered, which were all very interesting (e.g. Temazcal Sauna Ceremony, Fire and Cacao Ceremonies, Tantra for Women, Womb Dance, Sound Baths, etc.)
The wellness sessions offered were also very wonderful, I did a reiki session and an energy healing massage. I loved that I had the ability to choose from local Mayan or Guatemalan providers as well as from foreigners. The staff were so kind, warm and welcoming. The food was delicious too! The experience was amazing and I will definitely be going back!”
