A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

Yoga classes are now being offered in Puerto Escondido, Mexico by Agama & Hridaya student pete adams. pete has been learning and practicing yoga since January 2008 when he took the first 7 weeks of the Agama teacher training course in Koh Phangan, Thailand. Although not completing the course for personal reasons, he has continued to study with Agama Yoga in Mazunte, Mexico since January 2009 when the school first opened. 

Following many other studies, particularly in the last six years since retiring from a succesful business in England and moving overseas, pete brings a wealth of experience particularly in the field of natural health. He has recently become a Minister of Health for the Genesis II Church of Health & Healing.

The classes, being held at 8pm every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, at theAldea Bazar Hotel & Spa, start with a yoga theory talk, for example about the Yamas and Niyamas below.
YamasNiyamas
Ahimsa ~ Non-violenceSaucha ~ Purity
Satya ~ TruthfulnessSantosha ~ Contentment
Asteya ~ Non-stealingTapas ~ Self-discipline
Brahmacharya ~ Non-excessSvadhyaya ~ Self-study
Aparigraha ~ NonpossessivenessIshvara Pranidhana ~ Surrender

The Yoga theory is followed by warming up excercises, Hatha Yoga asana practice, then finishes with a guided relaxation. There will also be some practice of heart centred meditation, in the style of Hridaya.

These yoga classes are intended to be an introduction to Agama and Hridaya Meditation & Yoga who have a yoga retreat center in Mazunte, one hour away from Puerto Escondido. Agama offer one month intensive courses in the science of yoga & Hridaya offer regular Revelation of the Spiritual Heartmeditation retreats.

pete intends to help start a self-sustainable community in nature, yet close to Puerto Escondido in the near future. This will offer living and practice space for a small team committed to expansion of consciousness and will provide space for a School of Integrity, a Healing Center and a Meditation & Yoga Retreat Center.
