Winter Wellness Retreat in Quimixto, Mexico
February 5th-11th, 2023
This winter join us for a week of seaside bliss at the Amaca Beach Hotel in Quimixto, Mexico!
Quimixto is a beautiful small beach village you can only reach by boat, or by hiking!
The retreat begins February 5th and ends on February 11th…
I will be joined by my long-time friend and fellow yogi Gabrielle Goldberg in providing delightful yoga classes for students of all levels, fun and educational workshops, and indulgent healing bodywork treatments!
Every day either Gaby or I will be leading a morning yoga class which will be followed by a delicious fresh breakfast. After breakfast you will have free time to rest, explore, read, or just be! Following lunch we will have different activities offered daily, such as local excursions, wellness workshops, afternoon meditation class, and more…
.
All meals are included! Made with love with all locally sourced ingredients. There will be vegetarian/vegan options as well as fresh seafood and meat offerings for the omnivores.
What else is included?
All in-country transportation, including airport shuttle to and from airport
3 meals a day and snacks (fresh fruit & tea available all day, coffee served with breakfast!)
At least one Hatha yoga class daily, some days there will be an afternoon yoga class offered as well!
One healing bodywork session with Noelle or Gaby (choose massage or craniosacral therapy, somatic experiencing or sound healing, or request a combination treatment)
*Wellness workshops of special interest, including topics like pranayama (learn powerful yogic breathing techniques), mindful eating (mindfulness and food!), Thai massage for beginners (learn a simple routine to practice on friends and loved ones), sound bowl workshop (learn to play these amazing healing instruments), and even a Salsa Dancing class (Olé!)
*3 excursions to local sites, including a hike to a waterfall, which can also be reached by horseback (your choice!), a boat trip to nearby Yelapa (a small village only reachable by boat, with a great beach for swimming, hiking trails, and great eats!) and a snorkeling trip to Los Arcos (amazing rock formations nearby, beautiful site for snorkeling around!), or a whale watch!
2 meals at our favorite local restaurants (your choice from the menu, drinks and dessert included)
Your own private room with private bathroom (or share with a friend or loved one, max 2 guests per room)
Your own personal translator (that’s me!) and local guides (my partner Mario, who is from Puerto Vallarta, and myself!)
*On our first evening together we will decide as a group which excursions and workshops are of greatest interest to everyone, and we will finalize our schedule for the week based on the choices made by the group.
On alternating days we will be departing the retreat center for local excursions, and the other days we will remain at the center for workshops and relaxation! You are also free to explore the local hiking trails and village at your leisure.
All workshops and excursions are optional, but we highly encourage your participation!Important Information about Arrival & Departure:
Please make sure to arrive no later than 2pm on Sunday, February 5th in order to allow ample time for collecting luggage and traveling to the retreat center. We will organize transport from the airport to downtown Puerto Vallarta first, where we will rendezvous with all retreat attendees and leaders. While we gather we will enjoy local tacos and ceviche and fresh juices! Once everyone has arrived, we will travel together down to Boca de Tomatlan to catch our boat for the 15-20 minute ride farther south to Quimixto Beach. The last boat for Quimixto leaves at 5pm daily from Boca, so we will be departing Vallarta by 4pm.
The retreat ends on Saturday February 11th, and we will depart the retreat center after breakfast. Please arrange for your return flight to be after 2pm on Saturday, February 11th to allow plenty of time to get to the airport from Quimixto. If you wish to stay longer, you are more than welcome! The retreat center hosts can help arrange a boat taxi for you later in the day, or you can choose to stay at Amaca Beach Hotel longer by making arrangements directly with the center for a reservation!
If you prefer to arrive a day or so early, or if you would like to extend your stay and explore Puerto Vallarta after the retreat, please let us know and we can make arrangements for you to stay at Casa Rio Cuale, or we can make suggestions of other guest houses in downtown.
Rates are $1,500-$2,700 per person, for 6 nights/7 days. See below for details!
This retreat is designed to allow space for connecting with yourself and the natural environment, for healing and unwinding, and also for having fun! Make new meaningful friendships, deepen into (or even begin) your yoga practice, indulge in delightful massage and bodywork treatments, enjoy amazing food, and explore the art of doing nothing…
