Retreats, Mayan calendar readings and writing from the shore of Lake Atitlán, Guatemala.
Welcome · Bienvenidos
Let’s practice together.
I’m Mixa (pronounced “Misha”). I teach yoga, read the Cholq’ij, the sacred 260-day Maya calendar, and write in English and Spanish from my home on Lake Atitlán.
Mornings here start slow: cool air off the water, the volcanoes still blue, the first boats crossing. Everything I offer grows out of that pace.
My classes move between breath, strength and stillness. They are for bodies of every shape and age, and for anyone who has ever felt they didn’t belong in a yoga room. We start where you are, and we go from there.
The calendar came to me through years of learning from Maya daykeepers here in the highlands. It changed how I understand time, and how I understand myself. In a reading, we look at the energies you were born with and the ones moving through your life now.
