Details
Day 1
Welcome to Oaxaca – shift into vacation mode at your beachfront villa and connect with your group at evening yoga and welcome dinner
Mexico welcomes you with open arms to the picturesque coastline of Oaxaca – a hidden gem within this magnificent country. Upon arrival, take your group transfer from the airport to your luxury villa and get settled in this eco-chic sanctuary. (Note: The airport is within walking distance of the town. If you arrive before the transfer tot he hotel, it is possible to walk around town or even the beach while you wait.) Explore the stunning property that overlooks the turquoise waves, and make your way down to the beach for some R&R.
When the sun sets, we’ll come together and meet fpr a delicious dinner prepared by the villa’s health-conscious chef. After, join Jena for a welcome yoga session where we can set our intentions for this journey. Call in that joy and release the rest, as we embark on six days of sunshine, surf, and serenity in beautiful Mexico.
Day 2
Hike to a secret waterfall and enjoy lunch immersed in nature in between yoga sessions with Jena
Good morning, and what a good morning it is, as you wake up in sunny Mexico. We’ll start our day with an energizing yoga session overlooking the coastline, providing us time and space to release that which no longer serves us and align our hearts for the day ahead. After a delicious breakfast, you have the option of hiking into the jungle to secret waterfall with a local guide. You’ll have time to enjoy the greenery, do some cliff jumping, swim in the healing water, and enjoy a picnic lunch with nature all around. (See add-ons below for pricing and more information.)
Back to the villa, we’ll have free time to enjoy the property and the beach before our evening yoga session and a delicious group dinner. Soak it all in and fill your heart with joy on day 2 of this freeing getaway.
Day 3
Enjoy a free day at the villa for yoga, sunshine, and optional adventure
Wake up with morning yoga as the sun rises over the shoreline, and enjoy a slow-paced breakfast at the villa. You have a free day to choose your own adventures, and we have a list to choose from! We suggest an optional surf lesson to put those yoga skills to the test. (See add-ons below for pricing and more information.) No matter how you choose to spend your day, we’ll meet back up in the shala and wind down with a yoga session before another sumptuous dinner. Enjoy it all!
Day 4
Learn about permaculture and sustainable living in between yoga sessions and free time
Today, we’ll start the morning with our ritual yoga practice and enjoy a communal breakfast spread overlooking the turquoise sea. From here, our goal is to learn about permaculture and sustainable human settlement through eco-friendly materials and food production systems. Your guide will be Jimena. She will take you to the local farm where the eco-resort grows all of their own food, and she might include a stop at the local dairy farm as well. It just depends on her plan for the meal that day. There is about a 30-minute drive around to the farms and the market and then back to the eco-resort for a cooking class and large lunch. This experience is roughly timed from 11am to 4pm. After our lesson, the day is yours. We’ll see you on the mat for our evening session! Then, after dinner, we will calm our minds with meditation and journaling, identifying our thoughts and putting them to paper.
Day 5
Spend one final day enjoying yoga sessions, surfing, getting pampered, and more!
It’s our final full day here in Mexico, and you have the reins when it comes to choice. After morning yoga, why not book a surf lesson? You can also choose to pamper yourself with a massage or a private Reiki session with Jena. No matter what you choose, we’ll come together at night for a bonfire where we can reflect on our time here in Mexico and all that we’ve learned, released, and accomplished. Dinner will be served as well before an optional experience at a bioluminescent bay to see plankton glow under the starlight. (See add-ons for pricing and more information.)
Day 6
After six days in paradise, say goodbye to new friends and epic experiences
Our final day at the villa is upon us, and we’ll start it off with one last morning yoga session and a farewell breakfast. Say your goodbyes as you pack up, and take your group transfer to the airport to catch your flight. We hope you had a stellar time here with the group, one that filled your heart with joy and your camera roll with unforgettable memories. Safe travels and be well!
