Welcome to

This is a personal invitation from Evan and Laine to join us under the big thatch by the waterfall in Cristo Rey, Cayo District, at Belize's only residential ashram for rejuvenating yoga classes, world class healing massage, stimulating self development workshops, karma yoga, meditation and more. Come share the experience of Spiritual Integration, a genuine connection with your Self.

NATURAL BEAUTY This ancient watershed, accentuated by the waterfall, is unique in the Cristo Rey area of Belize, being central to conservation and preservation of wildlife around the ashram. This spring fed, natural waterfall cascades down limestone formations, creating a highly ionized local environment. The energy of the living water produces an uplifting, revitalizing atmosphere, perfect to enhance yoga practice and healing massage. This waterfall highlights the natural beauty of Belize.
