7 Day Yoga and Spanish Retreat at Lake Atitlan, Guatemala

Clothes

• Comfortable yoga clothes
• Long-sleeved tops for early morning yoga practice, which you can take off as you warm up
• Comfortable clothes for long hours sitting on floor cushions for the teaching lectures
• One or two warm sweaters/pullovers/fleeces (IT GETS CHILLY AT NIGHT)
• A shawl that you can easily throw on over your clothes
• Bathing suit

Accessories

• Your own yoga mat.
• Sun hat, sunglasses and sun cream
• Flip-flops or sandals/ simple light shoes easy to take on and off
• Trainers or sturdy walking shoes are a good idea (something that can get you comfortably up rocky roads)
• Water bottle, which you can refill at the DYZC
• Thermos flask for your morning tea
• Small sweat towel for practice

• Earplugs and eye mask (useful when travelling or sharing a room)
• A torch/headlamp (and spare batteries) is a good idea, to help navigate Guatemala’s dark paths at night and to enable you to read if you sleep later than your roommate
• Plug adapters: a good standard would be to get worldwide travel adapter

Bedding and towels are provided. Laundry service is provided for a fee. Toiletries and medications

• Grapefruit seed extract - take it from the moment you leave home to be protected against digestion issues. Daily maintenance of 7-8 drops in water or juice will do.
• Biodegradable please! Bring all toiletries that you require. You can always pick up (a limited range of) shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, soap, etc.
• Bring any medications you need/like to have. Better to be safe. Think digestive issues, sinus issues, headaches, allergies, achy muscles, etc.
• For ladies, sufficient tampons (pads/towels you can buy locally, but it is easier to bring what you need)
• Mosquito spray – there aren’t many, but it only takes one to annoy you all night
