Accommodations

At our Baja, Mexico location we offer a few different choices for accommodation.

Deluxe Tents

The majority of yogis that attend our Teacher Training choose to stay in our deluxe tents. These are big tents that most people are able to stand up in. Each tent has a normal twin size bed and mattress, a small set of drawers and a lamp. Bed linens are provided, but we do not provide a bath towel. Comfortable and yet still close to nature. We like to call it luxury camping. For couples we can offer a larger tent with a larger bed. We have 6 bathrooms and 8 showers on our campus.

Tortuga Yoga and Retreats Cabana

The Tortuga Yoga and Retreats cabana has a full-size bed and a private bathroom.

My first time ever doing yoga, and boy was it fun!! Striving to fix my digestive and weight issues which is brought on by having 3 boys, and I am so happy I chose to start my goal here. The owner/instructor is phenomenal. She really lets off a beautiful positive energy with her class… You can tell she truly cares, and that is what will keep me coming back. And her goats are the sweetest! I can’t wait to sign up again and again. Thank you goat yoga Houston!!

I would like to say THANK YOU to two amazing women and yoga instructors for coming out to our home to help my hubby! Blanca had to stop coming. Heck, she came all the way from Katy!!! You have to love her! Now, we have Rachel and she is just as amazing! Two different instructors but both are wonderful and great at what they do! I pray that their teachings will help my hubby with his back and spine issues. I am really worried about him as it is getting harder and harder for him as the days pass. Please keep him in your prayers.

Thank you ladies for your amazing work!!! I am forever thankful and highly recommend them both!

It is impossible not to beam when thinking about the Tortuga Yoga and Retreats 300-hr training. It was by far the most beautiful and transformative experience I have had in my life. Every crevice of the training overflows with love and compassion. With a strong focus on each individual student, Tortuga Yoga, and Retreats offers a unique experience. From beautiful, creative, and inspiring morning yoga practices to a detailed focus on alignment and teaching private yoga classes, this training went beyond my expectations. For me, the most transformative part of the training was the loving and nurturing environment created by the teachers. Never have I felt more encouraged and supported. I can’t think of anything about the experience that I would alter. This training goes beyond and into the light.
