My time with Mi Vida Retreats' Disconnect to Connect Retreat was truly life-changing. Renee and Dani are such incredible people. They genuinely care about every participant and bring a level of mindset and wellness expertise that makes you feel completely supported.  It is difficult to put into words the positive impact they have had on my life. The experience far exceeded my expectations and was priceless! They made everything so enjoyable while helping each of us grow with new skills to live better lives. The daily yoga and transformative breathwork education helped my nervous system dramatically improve. We had so much fun on the excursions....even swam with a crocodile!  I cannot remember when I have laughed so much especially during the evening dinners and even throughout the day. I made friends that I consider family now. The last day of the retreat, it was so very difficult to say good-bye to Renee, Dani and all my new friends.  I also have to mention the food. The all-vegetarian meals were absolutely outstanding (a HUGE thank you to Chef Sol!).  I cannot think of anything Renee and Dani could have done to make this retreat experience any better. I left feeling regulated, at peace and ready to live life to the fullest. So if you are looking to reset your mind and body, I strongly recommend you book this retreat. 

I experienced some of the most profound and life-changing moments of my life during this beautiful retreat. Dani and Renée are truly incredible humans, so wise and with a wealth of knowledge and lived experience to share. They create a completely safe, judgment-free space where you feel deeply accepted and always help you see the beauty within yourself. The retreat offered a rich variety of meaningful experiences, including yoga, meditation, breathwork, music, a cacao ceremony, and intentional time in nature, along with so much more. In just six days, my mindset shifted and my worldview expanded in ways I never expected. I was able to reconnect with myself on a level I did not even know was possible. It restored light to my life after some darker times and reminded me of the power I have to create the life I truly want to live. The connections I made with others, along with the absolutely incredible food, were also major highlights. I am forever grateful for this once in a lifetime experience and already cannot wait to return.

Don't hesitate - this is the retreat you’ll wish you booked sooner! From the moment you arrive, Renee and Dani make everything feel effortless. They are the heart of Mi Vida. Incredibly knowledgeable, grounded, kind, and genuinely inspiring humans. Every detail is thought through. They radiate positivity. Our entire group fell in love with them. Honestly, they alone are worth the flight to Tulum. And here’s the thing - it’s so much more than yoga. Yes, the yoga is beautiful and accessible whether you’re advanced or just finding your flow. But this retreat goes far beyond the mat. We explored cenotes and lagoons, soaked up beaches, wandered through Tulum, dove into powerful breathwork, shared a cacao ceremony and even learned acroyoga! Every day felt curated and balanced: movement, adventure, connection, rest. You never feel rushed, but you also never feel bored. Now let’s talk about the food. Not “good for a retreat” good. Not “healthy but fine” good. I mean genuinely exceptional. Every meal felt like something you’d order at a top-tier wellness restaurant. At one point we were joking about stealing the chef or at least bribing her for recipes. I’m still considering it... What surprised me most was how intentional the experience was beyond the physical practices. The goal-setting sessions were thoughtful and grounded. You don’t just leave relaxed, you leave clear on what you want, how you want to feel, and what you’re ready to step into next. You’ll leave lighter, relaxed, and probably with a group chat you never expected to have :) Book it. Then thank yourself later. P.S.: Fair warning: Your abs will be sore from laughing, not just vinyasa flows :)

This was my second retreat with Mi Vida. I came back a second year in a row because the first time was so meaningful and wonderful for me. Renee and Dani are truly perfect facilitators to foster personal growth,, deep learning, fabulous yoga and so much fun. There is not one single thing I would change. They are warm and lovely, the food was ridiculously good, the accommodations so gracious and beautiful- the jungle setting puts you in perfect harmony with nature, but the actual rooms ( really more like apartments) are luxurious and so comfortable. I loved it so much and can’t recommend highly enough. I left having made new friends and deepening relationships with my old friends. Is there a third time in my future?? Time will tell!

A truly transformative experience for anyone with the opportunity to simply arrive. I have attended several yoga retreats, but this one offers so much more. Even those who had barely tried yoga before returned home feeling weightless and joyful, with a better understanding of themselves. The itinerary is perfectly balanced with fun, free time, gentle movement, self reflection, and exploring the beauty of Tulum. The accommodations are set in a gorgeous private boutique hotel that easily became our home, surrounded by the peaceful jungle and its wild inhabitants (birds, coatis). The food was delicious and plentiful - fresh, local, vegetarian - and I usually eat meat every day! But the true highlight is the teachers, Renee and Dani. I can see why so many students return for more retreats, as I have missed their loving warmth and gentle guidance since departing. They have an incredible ability to make everyone feel accepted, enabling the group to easily open up and get close to each other as if we were old friends. Despite varied ages and backgrounds, we quickly became a family supporting and encouraging each other through reflection, laughter, and growth that week. I will be forever grateful for this most pivotal experience of my life, which healed parts of me I didn’t know I carried. Whether you need to reduce anxiety, discover your purpose, or simply take a vacation and be cared for - give yourself this gift and book it! You won’t find a better value for your time and money than this.
