Union: the Vital Energies & Beyond

From April 26 to May 3, 2025

Join us on a yogic journey within to create Union with thySelf and all that is. Through active yoga practice, restorative yoga, meditation, and group acupuncture sessions we will explore the Vital Energies, known in Sanskrit as the Vayus. The Vayus serve as a foundational teaching to get acquainted with the energetic system, and to creating vitality and well-being. We will have the opportunity to experience how the Vayus in Yogic tradition relate to the Meridians in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Through these energetic practices, we will deepen our relationship with the Self, and harness the power of the Vayus to dance in the fire of transformation.

Immersed in the natural beauty of the environment and nourished by delicious healthy meals, we will foster deep communion with new and old friends, and be nurtured by the renowned accommodations that Mixto and Xinalani are known for. Everything included is optional, and there will be ample free time to enjoy eco-activities and spa treatment add-ons, or to simply indulge in relaxation at the beach, pool or your retreat room.

Classes will be held at Mixto and Xinalani throughout the week.

There is only 1 room left at Xinalani!
