Los Naranjos Spa - Mexico
Retreats with Charles MacInerney

The living room area shown at left, serves as a favorite hangout where participants gather during free time to drink April's famous Hibiscus Tea, fresh squeezed lemonade from the orchard, or coffee.

Guests often can be found curled up in the pillows reading a book, or munching on fresh made guacamole and salsa.

The photograph at right shows a yoga class relaxing into a forward bend. The patio is partially shaded which allows students to use it through out the day.

Shown at left Charles is showing Lu a partnership twisting pose.

In the foreground is Yogi Dog. The February retreat participants brought this stray back from an excursion to the beach. A collection was taken up to get him fixed, and assorted minor cuts disinfected. During the nights this wonderful dog slept outside the door to the dome keeping watch over the sleeping women. During the day, he never missed a yoga class, always participating, and never making a nuisance of himself. It was for his dedication to yoga that he earned the name Yogi Dog and won the hearts of the participants.

Karen, who was instrumental in getting Yogi Dog to the veterinarian in the first place, amazed those of us who stayed for a few days after the retreat was over, by convincing the retreat owners to take on a third dog as a guard dog. Jarrett washed and groomed Yogi Dog and has now fallen in love with his new pet, who he has renamed Jodi. Future participants will now have the honor of meeting this enlightened yoga master, and studying such poses as upward dog, downward dog, and Shavasana from a true Yoga Guru.

Discussion groups frequently choose to gather on one of the grass lawns to enjoy the weather and immerse themselves in the surrounding beauty of the gardens, and the sounds of calling birds.
