Ashtanga Americas Mayan Jungle Yoga Retreat & Jungle Yogi Village

It is said that if you dig a hole in Mexico, you will eventually come out in India. This connection between two ancient and mystic civilizations provide the foundation for the creation of the Ashtanga Americas MAYAN JUNGLE YOGA RETREAT & JUNGLE YOGI VILLAGE Development. Michael Gannon, the founder of this project, has acquired 30 hectares (300,000 square meters, for phase o­ne) of virgin land in the Mayan Jungle, 15 km from Playa del Carmen, Mexico (www.playa.info). Three to five hectares are currently dedicated to the Ashtanga Americas Jungle Yoga Retreat and the remaining land is being subdivided and offered to fellow yogis and others o­n a similar path in portions of o­ne to five hectare lots. This development will create the first ever Yogi Village in the western world.
