Get Zen at Exotic Caye Yoga Classes

by tacogirl 03/04/2012

I have always admired the skill and flexibility of those that practice yoga, I tried a few classes back in Canada and have done yoga in Belize twice. While I can honestly say it is not my thing, I can see why people would choose this form of exercise.

Yoga is an ancient practice that has been done for more than 5,000 years, and millions of people world wide enjoy it’s health benefits daily.  Yoga brings together both physical and mental to help achieve peace in mind, body and spirit. May see it as a perfect way to reconnect with the balance that we were all born with.

Think about it as babies we were all natural yogis, we were able to pull our feet up by our head and all had  great flexibility. As we grew older and life got more demanding most of us lost that flexibility. This also proves the old saying if you don’t use it you loose it.

Here are some benefits you will get by adding yoga into your life:
Improved flexibility
Increased strength
Better muscle tone
Deeper concentration
Straighter posture
Regulated breathing
Weight loss
Pain prevention
Natural management of chronic health conditions

But wait there’s more, by practicing yoga regularly you will also find:
Increased mental calmness
Stress and anxiety reduction
More body awareness

If you are still not convinced I asked Ruthie for a review as she has been taking Tara’s class regularly and here is what she had to say…

I am doing yoga with Tara and am so very pleased with her style.  After suffering a separated shoulder (not from yoga) a few months ago, I am finally able to practice yoga again.  I so happy that I found Tara at Exotic Caye, she is obviously very experienced and knowledgeable.  However, what impresses me most with Tara is her ability to tailor her classes to flow in a way that all participants of each particular class, on any given day, can truly benefit.  Not an easy task when most classes will include folks that
can be new to yoga, quite accomplished, young or…perhaps a little more mature 😉    I am already feeling so much better physically and mentally thanks to Tara’s calm, reassuring and yet challenging style.
Ruthie

I recently attended a couple of sessions at Exotic Caye to see what their classes were like. One had a guest teacher and the other was with regular teacher Tara Darrall. Both teachers were very good from what I saw. They made sure new students were welcomed and walked around the room taking note of peoples posture and gently guiding them to the correct position or a deeper stretch. The yoga room  has aircon, water cooler [bring own drinking container] and a fantastic view. Whether you are here on vacation and looking to reconnect with yourself, or live here full time and want to add more zen time to your life, give Exotic Caye Resort Yoga classes a try you will be glad you did.

Located just south of San Pedro town the resort is easy to find and don’t forget to find them on facebook. For more information on daily yoga classes at Exotic Caye call 226-4749 or 226-2870 or go to Exotic Caye Beach Resort website.

If you are like me in your research and do not stop at the first review,  you can check out Exotic Caye Resort: New Daily Yoga & Always A Great Beach Bar by San Pedro Scoop and  Dorian’s Angels  “Yogi” for a day! by Ambergris Today. They both attended the second class and has some good things to say.

I can’t really say too much about yoga as all of my attempts have ended badly and I know that Krazy K (Kelly E) would open hand slap me but hey it works for some folks. Personally if God ment for you to stare at your own butt then he would have made that happen when he created us!

Yep someone is going to stomp my Chi so I better sign off.

Love Taco Girl Blog @LaurieNorton! I've been reading this blog since I started visiting Ambergris Caye in Belize almost... 10 years ago. It is filled with helpful up-to-date information and recommendations that I wouldn't necessarily find on my own. Laurie Norton's knowledge and extensive network on the island provides her with the ability to share perks/discounts/coupons with her readers, which come in handy year after year. Things on the island change daily - new businesses pop up constantly and LaurieNortonstays on top of these developments. Whenever I plan my return trip to the island, I always check her blog first - and I recommend you do the same. Trip Advisor ain't got nuttin' on Taco Girl!read more

Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s... always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. There is so much information it's amazing! Thank you Laurie!!!read more

I’m so pleased to see tacogirl's blog on Google. Laurie's blog is my official “go to” source for tourist and... local information on San Pedro. Of course, it’s always nice to see her guides on “what to do” in San Pedro, but I also appreciate her “insider” advice and human interest stories on what it’s like living as a local on the island. I especially enjoy her guest articles, providing a different perspective of all things San Pedro. Her tipping quide is a classic, and don’t forget her Tropic Air flight code and on-island discounts. You’re not up-to-date with what’s going on in San Pedro if you’re not regularly reading tacogirl's blog.read more

Do yourself a favor. Read this BEFORE any trip to San Pedro - Ambergris Caye or Belize in general. Not saying “do... what everyone else says”, but Laurie has frank and honest info which will make your stay in country a little more fun, a little more informative, and often at a great cost savings. Best thing: it’s unbiased, honest, and factual. Personal note: thank you for your personal tailored help in answering mine (and my wife’s) questions.read more

Taco Girl (Laurie) is amazing. She has so much knowledge about Belize and has great connections with many of the... businesses in Belize. Because of her connections she is able to offer many perks and discounts that you wouldn't have been able to find otherwise. She is super responsive and I always go to her for all my travel needs. From golf cart rentals, to spas, to places to eat. She's got the inside scoop on all!read more
