About this trip

Freedom 2025:   ENERGETIC EVOLUTION! 

with Cornelius Jones Jr 


Find energy and freedom in your body through yoga, creative movement, conscious breathing, and conscious journaling during this magical 8-day/7-night Yoga Retreat.  This immersion is designed to give you tangible & creative resources to better manage stress, cope with rejection, and work through any sense of self-doubt or self-worth that you're currently dealing with.  To help you have a successful week, Cornelius will provide a safe space for you to be heard, seen, and feel comfortable expressing who you are.  You will have honest conversations with one another that hopefully provides a space of safety, support and belonging.  You'll broaden and deepen your communication skills, interpersonal relationship skills, skills in problem solving and decision making, and find more ways to live with more energy and vitality for an emotionally satisfying life. 


Our retreat will be hosted at MIXTO located at the south shore of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  After landing in Puerto Vallarta you'll be shuttled to the Marina.  From there will take a breathtaking 45-minute river boat ride to the picturesque Mexican fishing village Quimixto where you'll find MIXTO; a tropical oasis nestled in the heart of this authentic and charming village.  MIXTO is right on the doorstep of a gorgeous beach and offers an unparalleled retreat experience where you'll rest and relax in beautiful eco-chic accommodations with wellness focused amenities. 


Enjoy delicious, healthy, and organic meals, prepared fresh daily by the staff.  Yoga will be practiced in the open air Yoga Studio which is a functional movement space.  Yoga may also be practiced poolside or beachside.  Daily wellness workshops will take place poolside.  During your free time relax by the pool, take a short walk to the beach, or hike the jungle trails.  Additionally you can book an la carte spa/massage treatment* or book your own guided excursion to the surrounding areas like Las Animais, Yelapa, and Puerto Vallarta.*  


Have the most relaxing time of a lifetime by joining us for FREEDOM 2025 a beach yoga retreat with holistic activities and a chilled gathering of friends and family.

The yoga, food, people and location was stellar! Cornelius planned a wonderful retreat! Already excited for next year.
By Alicia P for Freedom Retreat 2023 on Jan 20, 2023
My week with Cornelius and Steven was magical in every way. I went to take a big exhale after a challenging last 12 months. I got way more out of the week than I could have ever imagined. I left as a better version of myself. I left with more direction and purpose. I left with a sense of self that had been missing for quite some time. The group dynamics were pure magic. I miss them all and can't wait for our reunion. Cornelius and Steven have true super powers in leading a retreat such as this and I feel as if I won the lottery having been able to participate.

This was a divine and synergistic experience for me. Everyone there was suppose to be present participating & supporting the process. Thank You Cornelius & Steven for being such knowledgeable & in tune coaches. I feel that we all had a level of breakthrough in some kind of way. So many tools to learn & walk away with for our lives. Recharging, Releasing & Manifesting was activated in my life for sure. Gratitude & appreciation to you two and our entire group. Namaste 🙏🏽
By Stu J for Recharge, Release, and Rise with Cornelius & Steven on Jul 12, 2021
I feel really blessed to have been on a retreat for 8 wonderful days where nothing, not even a hurricane, could rain on our parade. The trip was so much better than I imagined. Cornelius and Steven did an amazing job preparing all the classes & workshops, while still tuning in to what the group needed and letting their intuition take the reins. They created a magical experience, and attracted a beautiful group of people that I will never forget. I highly recommend this retreat to anyone in need of healing movement, relaxation, and overall FUN!!
