Yoga & Adventure RetreatRestore your mind, body and spirit in beautiful Puerto Vallarta on this yoga and adventure retreat! Over one meaningful week, you'll be surrounded by like-minded people, a supportive yoga practice, exciting local activities, and a relaxing ocean breeze.
This all-levels retreat will balance our daily vinyasa yoga practice with adventurous excursions and plentiful free time for leisure. With breathtaking views and positive energy, you will experience the trip of a lifetime. Yoga: Britney's approach to yoga is a power / vinyasa flow that incorporates elements from her dance and gymnastics background to keep things fresh and exciting each day. In her class, you can expect a fun, dynamic flow using muscles you didn't know existed. Plus, Britney will be leading a special handstand / inversion workshop one day to help you take your personal practice to the next level. Adventure: Each day of the retreat will present an opportunity for adventure ranging from the option to try a new food to going on an excursion with the group. Two included, yet optional, activities are part of the experience. These are a boating excursion to a local fishing village where we'll snorkel, explore and dine on a fresh seafood lunch and an ancient Temazcal ceremony performed by a local Shaman. Relaxation: Each day will balance activities with free time to relax, reflect or go explore on your own or with others. Our private, secluded resort is perfect for catching up on 'me time' or for indulging in additional activities like massages, adventure activities or swimming along the beach! |

The Accommodations
Your enchanting hideaway in Mexico awaits! Featuring beautiful airy rooms, healthy Mexican food and eco-friendly activities, Xinalani is a world-class leader in wellness retreat destinations. Located 12 miles from the Puerto Vallarta (PVR) airport on its own private island, Xinalani is the perfect beachfront location to disconnect, recharge and grow.
Keep in mind the resort is off the grid, perfect for the ultimate relaxation. That also means WiFi is not always reliable, and there are lots of steps on the property due to the natural landscape where the resort was built. So if you need to be online or just had a knee replacement, this may not be the right fit for you.
There are two room types to select from: Deluxe Rooms and Petite Suites. Deluxe rooms are cozy and comfortable, featuring either one double bed or two single beds. They also have a dining area with two chairs, a hammock, a spacious bathroom, an open-air shower, and and a sitting desk. These are the most budget-friendly options. The Petite Suites are small casitas with amazing ocean and/or jungle view. They have two double beds and also feature a private terrace, a hammock, a closet, a zen sitting area, and a private bathroom. Upgrades to other room types may be available for an additional fee. Rooms at Xinalani are open (three walls!) for fresh air and a true connection with nature. There are mosquito nets over the beds and locks on the doors, but keep this unique setup in mind. It's truly special!

Day 1
Welcome to Mexico! Upon arriving to PVR airport (be sure to arrive no later than 4PM), you will be greeted and taken by taxi (15 min) to the pier of API Terminal Marítima in Marina Vallarta.

Start your first morning as you will every morning, waking up to a gentle breeze and sounds of the ocean waves. We'll kick off with an invigorating vinyasa yoga practice, setting our intentions for the week ahead. We'll enjoy a nourishing breakfast and free time to soak up the sunshine and relax on the beach. We'll come together in the afternoon for a special Temazcal ceremony (optional, of course), an ancient practice led by a Shaman that was once used by healers to cure the sick and to prepare warriors for battle. In the late afternoon, we'll have a second yoga class, this one more of a restorative flow, before enjoying a healthy, delicious dinner.

Testimonials
"I was hesitant at first on going on the fitness retreat because I wasn’t sure what it would be like, and I am beyond happy I decided to go. This was by far one of my most favorite/memorable trips I’ve been on to this day. The best part was not having to worry about where to eat, or what fun activities I should do because the best of the best was already planned out for me. All I needed to do was show up. The workouts are not mandatory, but was honestly one of my favorite parts because it gets you up and moving, ready to start your day!
Stacy (Ketanga's founder) is extremely organized and knows exactly what she is doing to make your trip more than perfect. She knows every spot to go to to site see, to get some good food and just to have a great experience overall! Britney was our yoga instructor on the trip. I’ve known Britney for a few years now, and she is one of the best fitness instructors I know in New York. She did such a great job helping Stacy lead the trip! So Stacy sure knows how to pick them:) I just can not wait for the net retreat!" - Nicole R.
