-SPRING rising RETREAT-
March 22-27, 2025
Quimixto beach (Pv area)
…shake off the winter blues and lean into the promise of spring…
Hey friends!
I am thrilled to invite you to this retreat on the Mexican Pacific! I know the value of a solid yoga retreat, especially when it falls toward the end of winter. The season of winter can be challenging climate wise for most, and it can also be deep, as that it really is when we go into the cave of the self
to reflect and glean insight.
After winter comes SPRING! Spring is the season of fresh energy, potential, inspired ideas, focus and growth. We take the deep wisdom from winter and apply it to whatever goals we would like to nurture in Spring.
In this retreat, take time for yourself to bask in the promise of spring, and refine your vision for the future.
This retreat will be held on one of the area’s most beloved secluded beaches, Quimixto. Quimixto is a small beachside village just 45min. south of Puerto Vallarta. The fun part? You must arrive by water taxi! Away from the town and the crowds, this is the perfect place to disconnect, breathe in the fresh ocean air, and enjoy some much needed R&R focused on wellbeing, community, and your dreams and goals for the future.
We will stay at an EXCLUSIVE 6 bedroom beachfront Villa, with our own private open air yoga palapa, swimming pool, fully staffed dining/bar, and direct access to the beach to swim, paddle, snorkel,
or simply just chill.
While the area is away from the busy city, it isn’t lacking in things to do. Multiple waterfalls are just a hike away, beach trails to discover the coastline will be at our feet, and the small fishing village of Quimixto has so many charming corners to delight in! You can also kayak, paddle, or take surf lessons with a local teacher. Plus, a day trip to the neighboring village of Yelapa is a quick water taxi from where we stay and is definitely a highlight of the coastal PV area. A huge perk to this retreat is that we will also have full access to our sister property Xinalani to enjoy their amenities, like spa services, pools and more.
As an extra bonus, if you extend your stay in Puerto Vallarta before or after the retreat, you will have up to 5 complimentary days of unlimited yoga at Flying Heart Yoga studio in Zona Romantica!
