PAST RETREATS

Xinalani

MARCH 2-9, 2019

Freedom to Flow: Connect with your Authentic Self through a week of empowered movement and connection to nature. The magic of retreat time comes through the transformative trinity of connecting to one’s self while unwinding from the daily hustle, forging new friendships and exploring new places in the world. Seeing the world through a humble, curious lens allows a deep connection to self, others, and creates lasting, impactful memories.

Bookending our tranquil days are the nourishing, interwoven practices of yoga and Pilates. Inspired by the rhythm and flow of coastal Mexico living, we’ll explore the universal connections of empowerment in these movement modalities. Utilizing each day’s practice as a lens for transformation and inquiry, we’ll experience the glorious beachside jungle environment as our backdrop for inspiration and transformation of self.

About the retreat center: Located on the secluded western shore of the expansive Bahia de Banderas near Puerto Vallarta, Xinalani Eco Retreat is set on 10 acres of unspoiled, beachfront jungle. Accessible only by boat, you’ll find peace and total serenity here. For the curious, you can walk to the nearby fishing village of Quimixto to surf their point break, or hike through the jungle to various other small beach villages.Xinalani Eco-Retreat center is committed to sustainability, responsible use of resources, and encouraging harmony with nature. All the accommodations are beachfront, spacious, palm-thatched cabins built on stilts. Each room’s Zen-inspired terrace connects you to the natural elements and provide stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. In every room, you will find a private open-air bathroom with eco-friendly bath products, a big closet and a safe deposit box. To guarantee a great relaxing retreat, all beds in Xinalani have upscale pillow top mattresses, luxury linen, and gorgeous silky white mosquito netting. The suites are the most spacious lodges; they have a hammock, a private terrace, and a sitting area.

Each day’s seeded theme will extend into your leisure hours. There will be ample time for exploration, journaling, playing in the water and excursions. These optional adventures include whale watching, a boat trip to explore Yelapa, fishing, scuba diving, horseback riding, and a boat trip to the Islas Marietas, a breeding ground of the blue-footed booby.

Onsite offerings include a full spa for massages and skincare, Temazcal Detox rituals, healthy cooking classes with the Xinalani chefs, and jungle hikes right out your palapa door!
