Baja Wellness Retreat is a luxury transformation experience held at Hotel El Ganzo, San José del Cabo — one of Baja's most celebrated boutique hotels and a certified B Corporation.

November 8–13, 2026. Five nights. Six days. Nine yoga sessions, sound healing, a cacao ceremony, a private yacht excursion, a hands-on locally curated workshop, daily breakfast, lunch vouchers, and welcome and farewell dinners — all held with intention, in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

This is not a yoga retreat for yogis. It is a life retreat that includes yoga. Designed for high performers, depleted doers, people standing at a threshold, and anyone who has been giving everything to everyone — and is finally ready to give something back to themselves.

Spaces are strictly limited. This retreat is designed to be small, intentional, and deeply personal.

You don't arrive at a moment like this by accident. You've been building, achieving, caregiving, performing — and somewhere along the way, the version of you that knows exactly what it needs got a little quieter.

This retreat is designed to bring that version back.

In six days at Hotel El Ganzo, you will move your body in ways that feel good again. You will slow down enough to hear yourself think. You will be held in ceremony, nourished by extraordinary food, and surrounded by people who chose to be here for the same reason you did — because they are ready.

Transformation doesn't require suffering. It requires space. And that is exactly what we've built.

A full daily rhythm built around morning yoga, unhurried breakfasts, unstructured afternoon time, and meaningful evening programming. Every element has been chosen because it serves you — not because it looks good on a brochure.

Across six days you'll move through yoga sessions led by Sarah, an evening of sound healing with Mariana and Ricardo, a sacred cacao ceremony, a private yacht excursion on the Sea of Cortez, and a hands-on locally curated workshop at La Playa Centro Comunitario — where all proceeds go directly back to the community.

Afternoons are yours. The rooftop infinity pool, the world-class spa, the private beach club — available, unhurried, entirely on your terms.

This is not a schedule designed to exhaust you. It is a rhythm designed to restore you.

The setting is not incidental — it is part of the work.

Hotel El Ganzo sits at the marina in San José del Cabo, its rooftop yoga deck facing the sea, its underground recording studio and artist residency humming with creative energy below. It is a certified B Corporation — one of Mexico's most celebrated boutique hotels — and its philosophy aligns exactly with ours: that beauty, intention, and doing good are not in conflict.

Your room is a sanctuary. Morning practice happens above the rooftops. Cuisine is curated by Chef José Luis Hinostroza, whose food is rooted in the land and sea of Baja California. Every detail — from the welcome gift in your room to the final morning circle — has been held with the same care.

Transformation happens when the environment gives you no reason not to.

You arrive on a Sunday. The air is warm, the marina is golden, and for the first time in a long time — nothing is required of you. You check in, settle into your room, and that evening we gather for a welcome dinner. The week begins the way it should: slowly, with intention, together.

Each morning starts at 8:00 on the rooftop yoga deck. Seventy-five minutes of movement above the rooftops of Cabo, the sea stretching out to the horizon, your breath the only agenda. Breakfast follows — unhurried, nourishing, held by Chef José Luis Hinostroza whose food is rooted in the land and sea of Baja California.

Then the day opens. The pool. The spa. The beach club across the water. These afternoons are yours — unscheduled on purpose, because rest is not nothing. It is the work.

As the week unfolds, so does the experience. One evening, Mariana and Ricardo lead you into sound healing — handpan, crystal bowls, and a stillness that stays with you. One afternoon, we sail the Sea of Cortez on a private charter. One afternoon, we leave the hotel and go into the community — a hands-on, locally curated workshop at La Playa Centro Comunitario, where all proceeds go directly back to the people and programs that make San José del Cabo what it is.

On Thursday morning, we close with a sacred cacao ceremony — a heart-opening ritual to mark what the week has held — and then a farewell dinner that feels less like an ending and more like a beginning.

Friday morning, one final practice. Breakfast together. And then you go — not the same way you arrived.

Movement

The body remembers what the mind forgets — we move to remember. Nine 75-minute yoga sessions on the rooftop deck above San José del Cabo, the Sea of Cortez stretching to the horizon. Whether this is your first class or your thousandth, this practice meets you exactly where you are.

Nourishment

Food as medicine — every meal a moment of presence. Chef-crafted cuisine by José Luis Hinostroza, rooted in the land and sea of Baja California. Daily breakfast, lunch vouchers, and two curated group dinners — nourishment that honours the body and the place that holds us.

Self-Development

A framework for clarity, direction, and renewed momentum that goes home with you. Sound healing, a sacred cacao ceremony, and intentional programming woven through every day. This retreat doesn't end when you check out — the shifts that happen here have a way of staying.

Community

Connection that extends beyond the retreat. An intentional small group at one of Baja's most celebrated hotels. A hands-on workshop at La Playa Centro Comunitario — an invitation into the culture, traditions, and people of San José del Cabo. The people you meet here have a way of becoming part of the story.

Rest

Restoration requires space, not only structure. Unstructured afternoons at the rooftop infinity pool with Bali daybeds, the private beach club with complimentary boat transfers, and El Ganzo's world-class spa. The conscious absence of agenda — held with intention.

The high-achiever who is running on empty — your calendar is full, and you are not. The person standing at a threshold — a transition, a decision, a new chapter you haven't quite named yet. The one who understands the difference between a holiday and a reset, and wants both to mean something. Someone curious about yoga, or ready to deepen an existing practice. A solo traveller ready to connect, or a couple, a partner, a friend — ready to experience something together that you will not forget.

All levels are welcome. All genders are welcome. You don't need to be a yogi to be here. You just need to be ready.

We'd rather be honest upfront than have the wrong fit in the room.

This retreat is not for anyone looking for a party — Cabo has that, and it's not here. It is not for guests who want a passive all-inclusive experience — there is structure here, and you will be gently asked to show up to it. It is not designed for people who are not yet willing to slow down — stillness is part of the work, and if you're not open to it, neither of us will get what we came for.

This is a human experience held by a human host. It will be beautiful. It will also be real. We wouldn't have it any other way.

Come as you are.

Leave with clarity, connection, and renewed momentum.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor with 45 years of experience, I know what it means to truly hold space for people — and Sarah does it with rare skill. Baja Wellness Retreat isn’t just a well organized experience; it’s a thoughtfully curated environment where real transformation becomes possible. Sarah seamlessly manages every logistical detail while remaining fully present as a facilitator, which is no small feat. I would confidently recommend her retreats to anyone standing at a crossroads — personally or professionally — and ready to explore what comes next.

Sarah Fuson truly delivered an exceptional experience. Baja Wellness Retreat in San José del Cabo was, without question, one of the most transformative experiences I’ve ever had. Over six thoughtfully curated days, Sarah created an environment that blended yoga, wellness, and genuine community—all set against the stunning backdrop of San José del Cabo. The luxury setting of Hotel El Ganzo elevated every moment, providing the perfect space to fully relax and reset.

This was far more than a typical yoga retreat—it felt like a meaningful spiritual journey. Sarah is an incredibly skilled instructor who teaches with authenticity and depth, drawing on years of experience. Her approach is grounded, intuitive, and clearly comes from the heart.

If you attend one of Sarah’s retreats, you can feel confident you’re in very capable hands. I’m already looking forward to the next opportunity to join her.

Everything about Baja Wellness Retreat felt intentional.  From the stunning views to the playful and energizing yoga practices. It gave me the chance to fully unplug from the noise of everyday life and reconnect with myself in a way I didn’t realize I needed.

The sound baths and time spent at the spa allowed me to relax on another level.  I finally felt at peace and could sleep deeply through the night. I left feeling lighter, clearer and genuinely restored.  

Sarah created such a welcoming and supportive space for everyone. Her confidence, energy, and attention to each person made the experience feel deeply personal. 

This retreat had everything I was looking for and was truly a dream come true! I can’t wait to attend the next one!!

Baja Wellness Retreat was truly an unforgettable experience. Sarah brings such incredible energy, enthusiasm, and passion to everything she does, welcoming you from the moment you arrive.

As a highly qualified yoga instructor, Sarah guided us with encouragement motivating us to challenge ourselves and continue growing. Her instruction was clear, personable, and professional, with exceptional attention to detail that made every session enjoyable and meaningful.

The beautiful boutique hotel, ocean view, and private beach made the retreat feel peaceful and incredibly special. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and there were no surprises when it came to costs, which I really appreciated. Having most meals included added even more ease to the entire experience.

I would wholeheartedly recommend the Baja Wellness Retreat with Sarah to anyone looking to relax, recharge, and invest in themselves. It was a wonderful experience that I will always remember.

Sarah embodies the spirit of a wise teacher. She is knowledgeable beyond her years and brings real world practice and experience to the yoga studio. I had the good fortune of taking some of her classes in San Diego and although I was just a beginner at the time, she was patient and encouraging with me. Her bright personality and lighthearted demeanor made even the most challenging poses seem approachable and possible.

- Chad

With Sarah, I finally found my passion for yoga. Her guidance, energy and routine helped me connect my mind to body and start believing that yes, I am stronger than I think. She is not only a great instructor but also a great motivator. Practicing with Sarah has also improved my relationship with my body and anxiety. She taught me how to respect my body and listen to what is inside.

- Mona

As a yoga practitioner and yoga teacher for over a decade, I find myself always going back to Sarah's yoga classes. Her meticulous sequence of poses, with a strong focus on physical alignment and breathwork, empowers students of all levels to safely challenge their body and mind.

- Venus

Immersing in Sarah's yoga class, I, a novice yogi, have found solace. With an open heart, she welcomed me into the sacred space of yoga, unveiling not just the postures but the very essence of the practice. Sarah's presence embodies a great sense of warmth. Her instructions during class echo clarity, inviting a profound connection with the spiritual self within every posture.

With 15 years of certified yoga teaching experience and a background spanning international hospitality, wellness facilitation, and executive support, Sarah created Baja Wellness Retreat as a convergence of everything she believes in.

She holds a BC Rental Property Management license, is pursuing her CAPM certification, and has led thousands of yoga classes at YYoga Vancouver and across the world.

At Baja Wellness Retreat, she holds the full arc of the retreat — the programming, the pace, the warmth, and the intention. Sarah believes deeply that investing in your wellbeing is the most important investment you will ever make.

Claü is the heartbeat of El Ganzo's guest experience. As Experience & Operations Manager, she ensures that every detail of your stay — from your first moment on property to your final farewell — is held with precision and warmth.

Claü's deep knowledge of the hotel, its spaces, its people, and the rhythms of San José del Cabo means that your experience is genuinely curated, not simply coordinated.

She is our on-the-ground partner throughout the retreat.

José Luis brings the flavours of Baja California to life across every meal of the retreat. His philosophy is rooted in the land, the sea, and the rich culinary traditions of Mexico — elevated through technique and intention.

Each breakfast and dinner during the retreat is thoughtfully designed to nourish, delight, and connect you to where you are.

Food, in his hands, is never incidental — it is part of the experience itself.

Pamela leads La Playa Centro Comunitario, a beloved community hub in San José del Cabo that bridges local culture with visitors who are ready to truly experience Baja.

Under her direction, our Wednesday hands-on locally curated workshop becomes something far deeper than a lesson — it is an invitation into the community, the culture, and the traditions of the people who call this place home.

All proceeds go directly back to La Playa, supporting the programs and people Pamela's team serves every day.

Mariana and Ricardo are the curators of two of the retreat's most deeply felt experiences. Their sound healing journey weaves together the resonance of handpan, crystal singing bowls, and Tibetan singing bowls into a profoundly restorative sonic landscape — one that works on the nervous system as much as the soul.

Their cacao ceremony draws on ancient Mexican roots, using ceremonial cacao as a sacred heart-opener to guide guests through a ritual of release, presence, and expanded awareness.

In their hands, these are not performances — they are invitations.

We are curating with great intention — bringing in someone whose depth of knowledge, lived experience, and presence will enrich the retreat in a meaningful way.

Their area of expertise aligns deeply with the spirit of what we are creating together.

More will be revealed well in advance of the retreat.

A gifted visual storyteller will be joining us onsite to document the retreat experience — the quiet moments, the golden light, the collective energy of a group of people choosing themselves.

Their lens will move through the retreat unobtrusively, capturing what unfolds naturally — a living record of something worth remembering.

More to come.
