Yoga, Pilates + Adventure in Mexico with Katy Steadman + Janine Fondiller

From October 8 to 15, 2022

Our retreat week together at Xinalani will include offerings to support your overall health, happiness, and well being. You can choose adventure, relaxation, or a bit of both! There will be an optional early morning meditation, and we will practice Yoga or Pilates together twice a day. The classes will be intentionally crafted for retreat experience. There will be a dynamic morning practice, and a more gentle, restorative afternoon practice. All classes will be held in the tropical open air yoga studios, unique to Xinalani. While the classes will be challenging, they will be nourishing, and accessible for all levels.

There will be plenty of free time between classes to relax and unwind, either in your eco-chic casita, at the wide pristine beach, or poolside overlooking the ocean. There is a spa for massages and self care. If you are feeling more adventurous, there are paddleboards, kayaks, additional day excursions and activities offered directly through Xinalani (Surf and SUP lessons, a jungle trek, excursions to a nearby local town, cooking lessons and more!)

You can expect a wonderful adventure in a beautiful and tranquil location with a heartfelt community. You will experience nourishment for your body, mind and soul, the aliveness and adventure of travel, alongside an enriching experience of being on retreat.

Rates include accommodations, meals, daily classes, ground and boat transportation and taxes. Airfare, spa treatments and gratuities to staff are not included.
