Amanda Riker

Amanda is from St. Petersburg, FL, the sunshine city. She has been instructing yoga for 9+ years and received her teacher training certification at Yoga Tree San Francisco. Amanda teaches full time both in-studio and with one on one clients. She began leading retreats abroad last year, and thrives from curating these memorable getaways for her students and guests. As a teacher, Amanda believes yoga is for everyBODY. It doesn’t ask you to fit into some mold; rather, it asks that you listen to what your body is communicating to you, personally and unique to your own experience. Every yoga body explores a shape and does so intentionally. Her role as an instructor is to help guide you in asking what your body wants and to show you ways to make it just for you. She specializes in the fundamentals of yoga and strives to make yoga accessible to everyone. You can visit her website www.amandarikeryoga.com or find her on instagram @amandarikeryoga

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.

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

Beautiful bungalow on the beach

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.

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!”

An 8 day, 7 night transformational retreat to refresh, renew and reignite your spirit!

With Renowned Medium & Intuitive Life Path Coach Anna Blossom

Immerse yourself in the joyful reunion of the essence of who you are! Heal and align your vision, perception and voice as you reunite with your spirit and intuition. We will meet on a gorgeous secluded beach and experience the full moon and total lunar eclipse on November 8th.

Overview

This is an opportunity to gather in community in a beautiful tropical paradise and work directly with Medium Anna Blossom who leads people though life-changing transformation, helps them find their life path direction aligning toward what is most abundant, relevant and beneficial for, not only the self, but also for the highest good. Anna will be joined by Sound Therapist Kara Markovich and award winning Artist & Musician, Connie Cohen. Anna has been facilitating retreats with both of them for several years. 

Where we’ll stay

Our top-rated retreat center is at the heart of charming Troncones Beach, nestled between the lush mountains of the Sierra Madre and the sparkling Mexican Riviera, 20 miles north of Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo on the Pacific Coast. It is a beautiful sanctuary right on the beach with miles of unspoiled white sand beaches. Eleven delightful villas around a sparkling pool, meditation gardens and an on-site restaurant that features delicious, healthy gourmet cuisine.

The Experience

Wake in the mornings to the gentle sound of the waves and warm tropical breezes. Choose an early swim, join the morning meditation and/or yoga class offered by retreat center staff or take a beach walk. Delicious, healthy, high quality breakfasts are included each day. 

Workshops and group sessions will happen daily in the Yoga Pavilion. Each day will offer a new way to explore and deepen your connection with yourself and align with the joy that feeds your soul. Workshops and sessions will include exercises and experiences to access and replenish your core essence through guided meditation, energy healing, writing, creativity, intuitive connection, sound healing, music and movement.

Afternoons are free and open for your own exploration. Take a walk on the beach, a swim or a nap, write in your journal or snorkel at Troncones point, a short walk up the beach. This is your chance to schedule one of the many offerings available a-la-carte for an extra fee: a private sound healing session with Kara or a private or small group mediumship or intuitive guidance session with Anna. The retreat center can also schedule additional adventures such as massage and spa services, horse-back riding on the beach, baby turtle release, an eco kayak tour or a surf lesson.

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.

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.

Serita believes adamantly in the work of healing justice; “that we begin to value care, emotional labor and resilience, not as add-ons, but as central components of sustainability that restore us to life,” (Prentis Hemphill, BLM).   Through teaching yoga, ayurveda and liberation practices Serita has emboldened many of her students to bring forth their vision and power with love and gratitude for all that is sacred.  It is through Serita’s sustainable practices for deeper awakening that we are healing ourselves, and each other, “a practice of freedom!” -bell hooks.
