About the Retreat
We will make our yoga hOMe here in this magnificent natural setting, where exquisite beaches and surf, beautiful and well-appointed accommodations, and delicious organic cuisine all abound! We will practice yoga in fully-equipped studios with spectacular views and on the beach where we’ll definitely get our yogi toes in the sand! As you wish, you can indulge in delightful spa services and ample opportunities to enjoy a variety of off-site excursions and adventures, such as hike to a secluded beach with caves, a pre-Hispanic petroglyph trip, a Temazcal ceremony, a traditional Mexican market, and trips to nearby fishing villages and towns (Chacala, Sayulita and San Pancho). Do as much or as little as you like in your wonderful Mexican OM away from home!
