The why behind Panama

See you Summer 2024

Surrounded by unlimited flora and fauna and the beautiful Sea on both sides, Panama is a peaceful get away and unfortunately a hidden hub for trash.  

Panama, like many other countries, is taking steps to address plastic pollution in the ocean, including their straw ban and ban on plastic bags, though trash still finds it ways into their waterways and eventually into the Sea.

The country has major strides in improving waste management systems and promoting recycling initiatives that are crucial to reducing plastic pollution. This involves setting up proper collection and recycling infrastructure and educating the public about responsible waste disposal.

Additionally, they have collaborated with international organizations, such as the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Ocean Conservancy, to address plastic pollution at a global level.

Efforts like Mermaid Yoga Retreat Raise public awareness about the harmful effects of plastic pollution and promote local behavior change.

Yoga & Spiritual Development

5 DAYS OF YOGA • CLEANUPS, CLASSES & WORKSHOPS

Imagine a tranquil haven nestled along the shores of the breathtaking country of Panama! Our magical mermaids invite you to embark on a journey of self-discovery and rejuvenation, guided by the harmonious rhythms of the ocean. Together, let us delve into the profound connection that Panama shares with the majestic ocean that cradles the beautiful country.

Panama, a land of abundant beauty and diverse ecosystems, finds its heart entwined with the rhythmic embrace of the ocean waves. As you step onto the sands of Panama's enchanting beaches, allow yourself to be caressed by the gentle touch of the salty breeze, a reminder of the ocean's omnipresent influence. Close your eyes and listen closely – hear the melodic symphony of the waves, an eternal dance that mirrors the ebb and flow of life itself.

Just as the ocean's tides follow a rhythm, so do our bodies and breath. The ancient art of yoga draws parallels with the ocean's cycles, guiding us to harmonize with our inner rhythms. In the practice of asanas, or yoga postures, we embrace fluidity, mirroring the grace of the ocean's movements. Through breathwork, we synchronize our inhalations and exhalations, aligning ourselves with the steady rhythm of the waves that kiss Panama's coastline.

Imagine practicing yoga on the shores of Panama as the sun rises over the horizon, painting the sky with hues of gold and pink. The ocean serves as both a backdrop and a guide, reminding us of the power of surrender. Just as the ocean allows the tides to rise and fall, we too learn to release what no longer serves us, making space for transformation and growth.

Panama's oceans are not merely a picturesque backdrop; they offer us the opportunity to connect with the elements on a profound level. Dive into the waters for a refreshing swim, feeling the cool embrace of the ocean on your skin. As you move through the water, allow yourself to let go of any burdens, surrendering to the current just as you surrender to the divine flow of life during your yoga practice.

During meditation sessions, let the distant sound of the waves guide you into a state of tranquility. Imagine the ocean's vastness, reflecting the boundless potential within you. As you close your eyes and let go of thoughts, envision yourself becoming one with the rhythmic pulse of the ocean, finding serenity in the unity of all life.

So, dear souls, as you immerse yourself in this yogic journey, remember that you are not separate from the world around you. The ocean's rhythms and tides mirror the intricate dance of existence, reminding us of the interconnectedness of all things. May your time here be one of deep connection, self-discovery, and a harmonious union with the ever-present embrace of the ocean.
