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.ivan

Has Anyone Experience Agama Yoga in Mazunte? Thorn Tree Forum 14APR2013 @ 1:55pm
http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntree/thread.jspa?threadID=2313442
I am about to embark to the Agama Yoga center in Mazunte for a month or two to further my studies in Yoga and Meditation, but was wondering if anyone has had any experience either at this location or through their other branches in Thailand, India, Canada, with their unique agama yoga style. I have searched the forums and found nothing, so I thought Id write up a thread to ask.

Hello,I am about to embark to the Agama Yoga center in Mazunte for a month or two to further my studies in Yoga and Meditation, but was wondering if anyone has had any experience either at this location or through their other branches in Thailand, India, Canada, with their unique agama yoga style.

MAZUNTE
Agama Yoga is pleased to present one of its newest international branches to offer the 24-day introductory First Level Intensive Course, as well as the Level 2 and 3 courses. Note: Beginning in 2012, Mazunte will offer courses up to Level 14, with minimum enrollment. See teaching program below.
The school is running in the newly completed El Neem of Mazunte, which is located on the Pacific Coast of Southern Mexico, 90 minutes from the famed surfing competition town of Puerto Escondido in Oaxaca State. Agama Yoga - Mazunte is dedicated to offering the same quality teachings as are offered by founder Swami Vivekananda Saraswati at the Agama headquarters in Thailand, and is being led by teaching staff who studied and trained directly under his guidance. It is our intention to keep the school running year-round and to offer classes in English with some Spanish translations.

GETTING TO MAZUNTE
If you are flying in, Mexico City is a good hub although the nearest international airport is Huatulco. From Mexico City, the fastest way is to take an airplane to Puerto Escondido or Huatulco which will be from US$70-$100 one way in the non-holiday season. From Puerto Escondido you can take a private taxi directly to Mazunte, which takes around an hour. We recommend you contact Enrique, our carekeeper who will pick you up and take you directly to the school for 400 Pesosenriqus12@gmail.com; agamayogamexico@gmail.com. The bus is cheaper but takes twice as long. Shared taxis may also be available. From Huatulco you can take a private taxi directly or a shared taxi to Pochutla and transfer for Mazunte again from there. Another option is to fly into Acapulco and take the bus down the coast. From Oaxaca City, you can take the eight-hour bus ride to Pochutla and then take a taxi from there to Mazunte. Lonely Planet Mexico offers some additional details and options.
GETTING TO EL NEEM FROM MAZUNTE
From Mazunte, first find Centro Mexicano de la Tortuga (the Turtle Refuge and Museum). From there, walk east for three minutes toward San Agustinillo Beach up the main road which also acts as a hill. You will see El Neem and Agama Yoga on your right. If you are coming from Puerto Angel, go several kilometers passing through Zipolite and San Agustinillo and all the restaurants and guest houses. Go up the hill and you will see us on your left.
ACCOMMODATION
At Agama, we are currently offering camping (bring your own tent) or sleep under a mosquito net or dormitory rooms for the budget-conscious. There is also an option to rent a room or dorm at our eco-retreat center Tierra Verde, 25-minute walk from the Yoga classes. Many people also choose to stay in the nearby town, within a 10-minute walk. With the exception of the high-season periods of Christmas and Easter, reasonable rooms can generally be found for about 100 Pesos (US$8) and beautiful high-end accommodation on the beach from US$50-$80.
Please contact us with any additional questions at info@agamayogamexico.com or mexico@agamayoga.com. Also, for additional info check our website: www.agamayogamexico.com.
