About this trip

Hit pause on your day-to-day and join Dani Parker for an all-inclusive movement and wellness retreat at Playa Viva, a unique eco-luxury resort on the Pacific Coast of Mexico. Immersed in stunning natural surroundings, this retreat will offer you the space to refill your cup, nourish your body and mind, and rejuvenate from the inside out.


Our days will include daily movement and mindfulness classes with Dani, special Human Design and self-exploration workshops with Betsy Batista, delicious farm-to-table meals and refreshments, access to pristine private beach, optional activities from the mountains to the sea, and plenty of time for relaxation amongst the peaceful grounds of Playa Viva.


Nature lovers will have tons of opportunities to explore the beautiful natural surroundings from releasing baby turtles at Playa Viva's onsite turtle conservatory to local adventures including ATV mountain tours, snorkeling, surfing, and more. Looking for more space to rest and rejuvenate? We get it. There will be ample free time to enjoy laying on the beach, reading by the ocean view pool, or treating yourself to an onsite spa treatment.


Give yourself the gift of nourishing your body, mind and spirit in paradise with our incredible community! You deserve it.

Alive With Dani

Dani is a mindful movement instructor and community leader on a mission to reshape the way we cultivate personal and collective wellbeing. After years of pushing her body to its physical limit, a severe spinal injury forced Dani to slow down and explore a deeper journey of healing. Through somatic movement, mindfulness + breath, Dani not only healed physically, but experienced a sense of inner vitality that she’d never known before. Passionate about sharing this feeling, Dani developed her signature mindful fitness practice, Come Alive.

Prior to the Come Alive Retreat, I was feeling burnt out, unstable and uncertain on how to navigate challenges I was facing. Then Dani reminded me of the Come Alive Retreat and every cell in my body said "This is exactly what you need, you must go" and I'm so glad I did. Playa Vida is truly a unique and magical place. I've been to Mexico several times, but this resort and property provide a safe, relaxing and restorative environment. Then there is Dani, the master mind behind this Retreat. I loved starting my day moving my body, with either a yoga or her Come Alive Class. Dani offers beautiful words throughout her classes, helping everyone connect further with the moment and themselves. This retreat left me feeling empowered, nourished, rejuvenated, and with tools to help me navigate challenges. If you have the ability to attend to the Come Alive Retreat, DO IT. Be prepared to be transformed and create long lasting friendships. Thank you so much, Dani <3

This was my second time at Playa Viva with Dani and it was even better than the first (which I didn't think could be topped). Dani is so thoughtful about the way she plans the itinerary- adding energizing and grounding movement classes at different times of the day, including engaging workshops, and also providing plenty of free time to relax or take an excursion. She is a gifted movement teacher and naturally inspires an inclusive environment within the group. The setting is beautiful - you feel immersed in nature but also supported by amazing amenities (massage, boogie boards, pool, etc) and delicious / nutritious food (I think about the salad bar often :)). I absolutely would recommend taking a retreat with Dani - I'm already looking forward to the next one. '

Dani’s retreats are one of the only ones I actually come back rested and rejuvenated. It’s the perfect blend of movement for the body, space for your mind to unload, and nourishment with community and incredible farm to table food. The folks who come are good vibes and it’s a treat during mealtimes to break bread with them. Dani’s curation and good vibes makes her retreats a must.

I’ve been on many yoga retreats around the world, but this one was something special. The energy of the land that Playa Viva was built on is magical. The food, the staff, the facilities - each aspect blew my expectations out of the water. Dani created a safe and intentional container for this amazing group of women. We were able to bring whatever we were working through comfortably to the group and were met with only love, understanding and support. The mix of yoga and come alive classes were exactly what my body was craving. Betsy’s human design workshops helped to gain an insight and understanding to ourselves that felt invaluable. I didn’t know how badly I needed such a nourishing reset, and I’m so grateful to Dani and everyone at Playa Viva for providing such an incredible opportunity to do so. The two words I walked away with from that week are rejuvenating and healing.

This experience was food for my soul. I desperately needed to get away and focus on me - nurture myself and take time for the quiet. This is exactly what Dani's amazing retreat offers you, a safe space to lean into the depths of your heart, nurture your body and your soul, and have fun while doing it all. Her daily classes offer balanced fitness for all fitness levels, her intuitive leadership guides the retreat throughout the week making sure everyone is getting what they need. She is an incredible listener and mentor and she is so naturally gifted in her craft. No doubt being around her influence will help you to break through your seed and grow. Play Viva offers a beautiful eco-friendly, "glamping" feel - you truly feel connected with nature, the community and the grounds you are on. The staff is wonderful and welcoming and the food is divine (I am still dreaming about it!) The holistic leaders are a bonus as well with many offerings- I chose two massages throughout the week. The turtle sanctuary is icing on the cake and if you have the opportunity to do a turtle release - do it. I am forever grateful for this experience.
