Join us for a rejuvenating Valentine’s retreat on a secluded beach in Mexico where we will cultivate effortless, heart-opening practices to revitalize your relationship. We will work with both partnered and group exercises to create more joy, flexibility, and heightened awareness in the way we share touch.
This intimate retreat is geared towards couples that would like to develop more sensitivity, play, and mutual support in their relationship. You’ll learn deeply nourishing practices that are great for any level. No prior experience is necessary. We will explore creative ways to stretch with a partner, give and receive Thai Massage, and explore improvised movement with your partner through Contact Dance. You can expect to come away with useful skills that will enhance your connection with your self, partner, and community.
Anjuli and Alok have been developing their work together since 2010 to bring deliciously deep and creative somatic practices to open the body, heart, and spirit. This amazing retreat will include delicious farm-to-table meals, a chocolate making workshop, fire ceremony on the beach, guided astronomy tour, releasing baby turtles, boogie-boarding in the warm ocean, and unlimited beach walks. Playa Viva is the perfect place to relax and find more peace and freedom in your relationship to life.
We will start the mornings with a (solo) 5 Elements yoga practice and layer in partner stretching and therapeutic adjustments. Our afternoon Contact Yoga practice will focus on creative and effortless ways to stretch, dance, and share rejuvenating massage with your partner and the group. Afternoons will also include reflective dyads and council to harvest our experience both in pairs and in group. Evenings will feature music, singing, bonfires, and a special cacao ceremony on Valentine’s Day to open the heart and senses.
You’ll have plenty of unstructured time to explore the surrounding 200 acre preserve, take a cooking class with our gourmet chefs, journal, book a massage, or take an excursion (our favorites are: 4x4 trip up to the cacao farm and temezcal sweat lodge)
Sounds like the perfect winter getaway? Join us for a deeply nourishing experience to revitalize your relationship at one of most beautiful and remote eco-centers in Mexico surrounded by nature.
Don't delay -- there are limited spots and the retreat will likely sell out.
