Balancing Effort & Ease

Wake up in paradise to the sound of waves and the sun rising over Puerto Vallarta this New Years. Start your day with a peaceful meditation, looking out over the beach.

Then we turn it up a notch (or 2) with a vigorous morning yoga flow that set you up for success with intelligent sequencing, mindful progressions and plenty of options along the way. You will be challenged and supported regardless of your yoga resume’.

In the evenings, it’s all about ease with SATYA (Somatic Awareness Training for Yoga)—a gentle, restorative practice that releases tension, helps you recover faster, and lets you move with more freedom. It’s that special sauce you didn’t know you needed.

This 11th annual New Years retreat is all about Euphoria Retreats’ philosophy of healthy hedonism—balancing movement, mindfulness, and a little indulgence. Whether you’re flowing on the mat, exploring the jungle, or treating yourself to something delicious, this is your time to reset, recharge, and embrace the sweet (and salty) life.

Puerto Vallarta is calling you to celebrate you. Let’s do this!

Vinyasa with heart — athletic, aligned, and full of joy.

Monika Kaufman fell in love with yoga the way athletes do — through the body first, then the soul. A vinyasa specialist and co-owner of Euphoria Retreats, she is known for classes that are physically challenging, deeply aligned, and full of the kind of energy that makes you forget you’re working hard. Students leave her classes feeling stronger, freer, and genuinely happy they showed up.
