El Salvador became an unexpected home in my heart when Tuqui initially invited me to teach there at the start of 2022. Something about the warmth of its people and culture made me immediately feel welcome and at home. I still teach the community I connected with there regularly online once a week, and they are some of my favourite people to teach and hang out with when I am there in El Salvador.

Going to El Salvador's beaches hit home in my heart. The beaches are these beautiful stretches of black volcanic sand, palm trees, sunsets like you wouldn't believe and a wild, beautiful ocean.

One thing I miss about being in Australia and growing up is the access to the beaches, warm sun, and endless days surfing, rocking up onto the beach only when your arms can't move anymore, and your skin is sun-kissed. Experiencing the same thing here in El Salvador was like revisiting my childhood. Surfing here is a dream. The water is warmer than you would ever believe, and waves that peel off perfectly, with options suited to all levels. It was like being a kid in a candy store again.

I've hosted a retreat here before, a small weekend one for the yoga community in El Salvador, which was an epic weekend of practice, awesome conversations, and insanely good food.

So good that Tuqui and I thought, "Let's bring the Rocket Pachanga here". We want to share all of this and more with you. And so we've rented the same houses right on the beach, hired the same amazing chef to cater for the whole week, and are putting together an epic crew of people to fill a week of yoga, laughs, sunshine, surf and food.

It's a week highlighted in my calendar, and I can't wait to board that flight there. If you're already itching to get there (just as we are), email info@milesmortensenyoga.com. But if you need a bit more info, continue reading, and I'll tell you more about the logistics and accommodation.
