---- ROOM AVAILABLE FOR MEDIUM TO LONG TERM RENT----
🧘♂️ 🕉 🧘♀️ The Yoga House in Xela, Guatemala. Located in the historical centre of Quetzaltenango, locally known as Xela, the yoga house is a small community with an emphasis on yoga and communal living. The Yoga House began 20 years ago by American expat Kevin, who is still overseeing the project today. Our goal is to make yoga affordable and accessible to everyone. Basically The Yoga House is a two story building with 11 bedrooms spread out on the first and second floors, with a small yoga studio located near the main entrance to the house. We take on medium to long-term renters (staying at least a month or longer) and charge between Q600 to Q900 per room, per month ($80-$120 USD). Rent includes a private room, shared use of the kitchen and bathrooms, all bills, and unlimited free yoga classes. As far as I am aware, it's got to be one of the best deals on the planet for someone looking to focus on yoga, as well as whatever other project you have going on.
Not everyone who lives in the house practices yoga. The age range of tenants is between 20-60 years of age, some being Guatemalan and others from countries like U.K., USA, Australia, Europe etc. We welcome anybody as long as you are respectful of your fellow housemates.
The yoga classes and other activities on the yoga schedule are open to the public and are very affordable or free. The current Yoga House Schedule is:
6:45 AM - 8:00 AM --- Beginner Hatha Yoga Class
8:00 AM - 9:00AM --- HIIT Session
10:45 AM - 12:30 PM --- Ashtanga Yoga
17:15 PM - 19:00 PM --- Begginner/Intermediate Hatha Yoga Class
The prices of the morning and evening yoga classes for the public are:
Q20/$2.50 per class/ Q50/$6.50 week unlimited/ Q150/$20 month unlimited
The ashtanga yoga and HIIT we do not charge for, it is free for everyone.
Xela is also a destination for people looking to learn Spanish as there are many Spanish schools here. The other attraction to Xela is the hiking culture. We are surrounded by mountains, lakes, and volcanoes.
If you are interested in more information, please check out The Yoga House Xela on facebook. If you are seriously interested in renting a room with us (I mean seriously interested, no maybes or last minute change of minders) you can email Kevin at [email protected] and he will answer any further questions you have regarding renting. For all other enquiries, write to us on Facebook.
We are not a hippie commune, a halfway house, or a hostel. We are well intentioned and well organised to the best of our ability and truly love sharing ideas about life and yoga.
All the best, see you on your next visit to Xela, Guatemala! 🧘♀️ 🕉 🧘♂️
