Join us to explore your spiritual side through movement, music and recharging your nervous system. Dia de los Muertos is a very spiritual time in Latin America in which we can connect with our loved ones who have passed. This the time for renewal - and your capacity to shine is at its highest potential. This will be a unique Retreat: twice daily yoga and meditation, creation of a Dia Altar, Sound baths, earth-based rituals, kirtan, pranayama, and nourishing dips into the sea.

This family-friendly one week retreat with Rachel Rajput and Malka Lew will take place at Mar De Jade: a magical yoga and meditation retreat center in Chacala, Mexico. Chacala is 41 miles north of Puerta Vallerta. We will pick you up from the airport at PV and deliver you right to the door of Paradise! 

We will deepen our yoga practice and enjoy a true digital detox. Unwind in paradise with twice-daily offerings of yoga and meditation to soothe your troubled soul. Feast on healthy and organic farm-to-table buffet meals, get a massage, take a jungle hike, tour the working organic farm, detoxify in an Aztec Sweat Lodge, enjoy pampering spa treatments, swim in the pools, or take a dip in the ocean waters.  *If you must use the Wifi, it is fast, with very few connectivity problems.

But wait! Mar De Jade is also a socially conscious nonprofit organization that has a number of community efforts. It is run by founder Laura del Valle and her daughter Anjelica, who live on the property. Our retreat fees go directly to support:

El Jardin: their local school (free for community children)

El Rancho: their organic permaculture farm

Tao De Jade: trade school for underserved teens, and single parents.

This is an unforgettable week and we hope you can join us!

Fine Print: We STRONGLY recommend purchasing Travel Insurance as we are not able to offer any refunds on this trip. You can purchase this insurance thru Allianz HERE.

Please note that no part of this trip is refundable. If you need to cancel your trip due to COVID-19, illness, or other circumstance, you may transfer your tuition (ie sell your ticket) to another person. Please let us know this person's name by emailing rachel@leftcoastpoweryoga.com at least one week before the retreat begins. 

Covid Protocols: Mar De Jade has impeccable cleaning protocols and distancing guidelines. All meals are served outdoors, with all yoga classes in Open-Air studios. Aside from your roommate(s), there is no need for indoor mixing with any other folks, and the property is plenty large enough that it never feels crowded. Please read their updated protocols HERE.

In the case of a retreat cancellation by the organizers, all fees will be fully refunded.

Our journey begins! Fly into Puerta Vallarta International Airport (we can recommend easy and direct flights from Oakland or SFO to PVR. Southwest now flies direct from both of these locations for around $450 R/T). Meet our group at the designated pickup point and grab the Group Shuttle to Mar De Jade. This trip will take around 1.5 hours and is a relaxing drive. Arrive to the retreat center for a snack, a relaxing swim in the pool, and get settled in before dinner! We will have a group Meet N Greet after dinner.

Wake up early to join us for an energizing Yoga session overlooking the sea. After a delicious organic breakfast, you are free to hang at the beach or pools, explore the town of Chacala, journal, horseback ride, snorkel, hike, or have a Sweat Lodge experience. We will have a leisurely mid-afternoon lunch, then some time to relax and digest before our afternoon Restorative yoga session. Sunset cocktail hour will follow, then a fresh and healthful dinner. Spend quality time with good folks or soak in your private bath before heading off to bed for a relaxing sleep in your air-conditioned room!

We will gather for our last Yoga Class and breakfast together at our hotel. Here, we can share stories of the week, and catch up on the adventures of our new friends! Most direct flights to the Bay leave mid-afternoon... so there is plenty of time to pack up and grab a cab for the hour and 45 minute journey back to the airport. We will see you next year!
