OCOTAL BEACH, NICARAGUA - Morgan's Rock Hacienda & Ecolodge, one of Latin America's leading agro-tourism operations located south of Granada, the oldest city in the Americas, welcomes Erika Bloom and Laura Ball who will be conducting a combination of Yoga, Pilates, and Relaxation retreat entitled "Align Body and Mind".

The Morgan's Rock Hacienda is designed for travelers in search of luxury combined with the excitement of Nicaragua, the new Central American venue. A pristine beach and a unique 4500-acre protected primary dry forest environment surround the resort and provide the setting for the Yoga experience. The secluded beach is the location of a newly designed Yoga studio where students can learn self-awareness, physical strength, confidence, compassion, and self-discipline against the background sounds of the waves and wildlife while contemplating the crashing surf.

Popular New York City instructors Master Erika Bloom and Laura Ball offer this combination of disciplines starting on October 22 for five nights. The daily program will include Good Morning Pilates class and Sunset Yoga class, beach runs and hikes as well as Pranayama and Meditation classes. There will be plenty of time for relaxing by the pool or on the beach. Erika Bloom and Laura Ball are certified practitioners in their professions; Bloom has her studio on Madison Avenue and holds summer sessions in The Hamptons. This program will include transfers from Managua, all meals, daily classes, a massage, local artisan, and school tours, plus a special champagne and lobster dinner with salsa and meringue lessons for $2425 (single) and $2225 per person (double). Taxes & service are included.

Morgan's Rock Hacienda & Ecolodge features fifteen hand-detailed private bungalows made of exotic tropical hardwoods with decks open to spectacular views of the ocean and forest and feature a king-size bed, a sofa bed, hammocks, and an open-air shower. The restaurant, which features all local produce grown on the resort's farm and fish caught by its own boats, overlooks a beautiful pool and the Pacific beyond.

Morgan's Rock is easily reached by American, Delta, TACA, and Continental who all fly to Managua with arranged transfers.
