Join Meg from January 24 - 30, 2027, for a transformational yoga retreat at the stunning Sansara Resort in Panama, a luxurious, beachfront sanctuary designed for deep rest, renewal, and reconnection.

Step away from the stress and busyness of daily life and immerse yourself in a rejuvenating experience where yoga, nature, and community come together. Daily yoga in Sansara’s open-air oceanfront shala gives you the space to reconnect with your practice and yourself.

Whether you’re new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, this retreat invites you to relax, reset, and return home deeply nourished—in body, mind, and spirit.

EXPERIENCE PANAMA

Journey with YogaOne to the beautiful country of Panama for an epic yoga and surf retreat. We’ll spend 6 nights and 7 days at the beautiful Sansara Resort located on the Pacific Ocean in stunning Cambutal, Panama. Your days will be filled with yoga, friendship, adventure, and relaxation. You will have a wide array of activities including surfing, sup, kayaking, snorkeling, fishing, hiking, bike riding, and exploring all that Panama has to offer.

Sansara is located at the southernmost point of Panama in the Azuero Peninsula, Cambutal is a small village in the province of Los Santos, about 5 hours away from the country’s capital, Panama City. Where mountains meet the sea, this area has been described as a mix between the wild-west and Hawaii- with a lot fewer people! With empty waves and uninhabited black-sand beaches- Cambutal is the perfect destination for you to disconnect from your fast-paced city life and reconnect to your true intentions.

The space comes fully stocked with mats, straps, bolsters, blankets, and handcrafted wooden blocks. “Sansara” is a Sanskrit word that stands for “continuous flow”, and it is through this we realize the beautiful and cohesive dynamic in yoga and surfing contains. We vibe with the tides; yoga times may vary based on the surf times and interest of the group. We ask for your flexibility in this, so each guest (and you) can experience Sansara in its entirety
