Awakened SOUL: “A New Year Revival Retreat” | January 4 – 11, 2020

June 1, 2019 by Ryan

Join David Westlake & Joshua Love for round 2 on another week long journey to the remarkable Present Moment Retreat Center. Enjoy 7 days and 7 nights on a life affirming and soulful journey in the humbling town of Troncones, Mexico. The beaches; remote, pure and tranquil. The quiet streets and the sound of the surf will heal your body and rejuvenate your Soul. Our intention for this experience is to dive deeper into our practice with a powerful alchemy of Asana, Kriya, Pranayama, Meditation, and did we say surfing?!

The daily yogic journey will encompass all that is the 8 limb path. Mornings will begin with the practice of meditation and kriya yoga followed by optional daily surf adventures. Days will wind down with a soulful evening vinyasa flow and fireside Dharma talks.

Leave the drama, explore your dharma!

From the oceanview bungalows of Present Moment you will step out the door to start your day with a yoga practice in the open air palapa followed by a gourmet breakfast to get ready for the day’s adventure. It is here, under the bright Mexican sky, that you begin to drop into the now and R E J U V E N A T E.

Picture this… Yoga in the morning followed by playing in the waves; in the afternoons take a break to rest by the pool, or participate in a sea turtle release on the beach; and spend your evenings with a soulful vinyasa flow, fireside Dharma talks, and mellow company under the stars. For those who don’t feel like surfing and just want some yoga and beach time, that’s cool too! This trip is about having the freedom and flexibility to do what you want to do from a place of Now. Let us help make that a reality for you!

Your guides for this trip are David Westlake and Joshua Love. No strangers to Mexico or travel, these two will inspire, rejuvenate, and relax you as you move into the here and Now with their all-levels classes.

David Westlake

“I was always curious about what it meant to live an authentic life. This inner wonder took me on many adventures eventually leading me to yoga. This ancient yet evolving art form gave me a framework in which to practice and further explore my questions. Yoga teacher training seemed like the next step. Little did I know how my life would change. Since then, yoga has rocked my world and taken me on an amazing path of self discovery and personal satisfaction. I get to teach and share meaningful ideas with so many whether it be in meditation, asana or discussion. What a gift! They say that we are only as capable as the teachers who have nurtured us along the way. I am blessed in that realm. Deep gratitude for my guides both on and off the mat especially Katey Inman for helping me as I stumble along the way, Dharma Mittra for challenging me to step further into the stream, Natalie Kellier for the inward push to go a little deeper, and most of all my father who constantly encourages me to follow the way wherever it may lead. I can’t say I have any answers but would love to share my questions with you whether that be in meditation, through the sweat of asana or in the round of discourse. See you on the mat my dear friends. Om shanti shanti shanti…”

Joshua Love

“It’s the ultimate paradox that I find myself both a student and teacher of a practice based on silencing the mind! I came to yoga with, at first, much resistance. My love/hate relationship with the practice of yoga dissolved into pure passion after my first hot yoga class. My “hot’ yoga teachers focused less on perfect alignment and placed the emphasis on effort, focus, and determination. I was hooked! My classes celebrate opposites: movement and stillness, music and quiet, effort and surrender—while always remembering to embrace our inner voice! Much love to all my “big” teachers (Rick Resnick, Jimmy Barkan, and Katherine Inman) and “small” teachers (to many to name). Namah Shivaya!”

Present Moment is the perfect antidote to the chaos of everyday life. Authenticity was imperative in the construction of every inch of this resort.

Our beautifully designed accommodations and loving staff will please even the most discerning guests.

Just a 30 second walk the beach, let the sounds of the ocean lure you to sleep each night.

With 3 air conditioned suites, for those seeking a little more similarity to the comforts of home. Centrally located, you will be just steps away from the beach, amazing yoga classes, massage, and fine dining.

About Troncones & Getting Here

At the heart of charming Troncones Beach, nestled between the lush mountains of the Sierra Madre and the sparkling Mexican Riviera, Present Moment Retreat combines the ambience of nature’s grandeur with personally challenging mind-body work, set in harmony on beautifully-landscaped tropical grounds.

Troncones Beach is a small, recently-developed community situated on some 3 miles of pristine Pacific beach – a strand of white sand punctuated by occasional rock outcroppings often harboring tidepools teeming with fascinating saltwater life. The charming village is home to a small school, a public library (donated by generous local residents for education of the village’s children), a church, several dry goods outlets and a few other small provisioning services for essential items. All of these are couched within a traditional and tropical Mexican ambience.

You can fly into Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa, the airport is located only 20 miles north and an easy 45-minute drive. The international airport is serviced by a number of International airlines including Alaska Airlines, Continental, American, America West, Frontier Airlines, Mexicana and Aeromexico. Troncones Beach is highly connected, yet still a world apart. Its proximity to Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo affords you a full choice of shopping conveniences and recreational possibilities, all just a short distance from your world-class yoga retreat and resort. We can assist you with booking all flights and airport transportation.

Your Home

Our charming, chic hotel and yoga retreat is located on a quiet, serene beach in Playa Troncones, thirty minutes up the coast from Ixtapa, Zihuatanejo, Mexico. Our beautifully designed accommodations and loving staff will please even the most discerning guests.

Present Moment Retreat is a powerfully transformative environment providing experiential training in the cultural arts. Surrounded by the magnificence of earth’s natural beauty, people from around the world come here to grow towards wholeness in their lives. We are dedicated to fostering deep awareness and appreciation of life through the compassionate treatment of all beings, and promoting wisdom and peace in celebration of the human spirit.

Your Boutique Bungalow

Present Moment is the perfect antidote to the chaos of everyday life. Authenticity was imperative in the construction of every inch of this resort. Thus, all bungalows have an indigenous palapa thatched roof, hand-crafted in the Mexican tradition, and are furnished with a pillow top queen-sized bed, luxurious 400 count cotton bedding and a canopy of white linen.
​
With 5 deluxe bungalows and 3 family bungalows, somewhat blurring the lines between the indoors and out, with its amazing vantage points to the sea, gardens and pool, your accommodation will be the perfect place to rest yourself after a full day of yoga and surf at Present Moment. Just a 30 second walk the beach, let the sounds of the ocean lure you to sleep each night.

With 3 air conditioned suites, for those seeking a little more similarity to the comforts of home. Centrally located, you will be just steps away from the beach, amazing yoga classes, massage, and fine dining. If you enjoy strolling the shore at sunrise, these stunning bungalows will have you on your way in no time. Hand-crafted and beautifully appointed, a true home away from home.

About Troncones & Getting Here

At the heart of charming Troncones Beach, nestled between the lush mountains of the Sierra Madre and the sparkling Mexican Riviera, Present Moment Retreat combines the ambience of nature’s grandeur with personally challenging mind-body work, set in harmony on beautifully-landscaped tropical grounds.

Troncones Beach is a small, recently-developed community situated on some 3 miles of pristine Pacific beach – a strand of white sand punctuated by occasional rock outcroppings often harboring tidepools teeming with fascinating saltwater life. The charming village is home to a small school, a public library (donated by generous local residents for education of the village’s children), a church, several dry goods outlets and a few other small provisioning services for essential items. All of these are couched within a traditional and tropical Mexican ambience.

You can fly into Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa, the airport is located only 20 miles north and an easy 45-minute drive. The international airport is serviced by a number of International airlines including Alaska Airlines, Continental, American, America West, Frontier Airlines, Mexicana and Aeromexico. Troncones Beach is highly connected, yet still a world apart. Its proximity to Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo affords you a full choice of shopping conveniences and recreational possibilities, all just a short distance from your world-class yoga retreat and resort. We can assist you with booking all flights and airport transportation.

Mary Langfield and Ruth Paisley


Mary Langfield

Mary is a Classical Homeopath, Certified Holistic Health Coach, Yoga Teacher, Ayurvedic Specialist, Energy Worker (Reiki and Thai Massage), and seeker of truth – physical, emotional, spiritual. She has always loved and needed physical activity in her life. However, when she found the spiritual teachings of yoga she finally felt whole.

Mary earned her 235 and 500 Hour RYT with Devanadi Yoga and continues to study with her teacher Yogarupa (Rod Stryker) and one day hopes to become Parayoga certified. In the meantime, she tries her best to weave in all the aspects of yoga she has learned into her classes: Mindful Sequencing, Asana, Bandhas, Pranayama, Mudra, Mantra, Meditation, Chakras, etc…join her for her weekly class or one of her workshops!

Ruth Paisley

Ruth began her yoga practice about 20 years ago.  After several years of quite inconsistent but always beneficial practice, she became a more committed yoga student in 2012 with Mary Langfield as one of her regular teachers.  A desire to learn more about yoga led her to teacher training at Devanadi Yoga in 2014.  Nearing retirement from a teaching and school administration career, she completed the 235 YTT and began teaching a Silver Sneakers yoga class.  

Retirement brought a rekindling of a love of movement and exercise. Ruth began taking weight training, Pilates, yoga, and spinning classes regularly. Looking to learn more she added Yin Yoga certification and training in Chair Yoga.  She is currently pursuing training and certification in teaching Stott Pilates Mat and Intensive Reformer.  And she just bought a bicycle!

Ruth currently spends her time in physical activity, enjoying good food, talking with friends, traveling to new and favorite places, gardening, and reading.  She teaches Silver Sneakers Yoga, Chair Yoga, Yin Yoga, and Pilates classes. Classes with Ruth intentionally focus on the role of breath in movement and exploring the self as the basis for impact and connection to others and our world.  Her favorite times are spent with her husband, children, and grandchildren especially when the arts or nature are a part of the experience.
