For some, the holiday season brings a mixed bag of emotions and stress. This year, gift yourself well and get grounded with Jess and Gretchen in Mexico.
Soak up the Vitamin D and collect some of nature's healing energy before the long Winter months. Learn some new tricks to keep your home practice feeling fresh and inspired, while enjoying plenty of hands-on adjustments, and just the right amount of strength and stretch.
We gather for six days and five nights in the bohemian beach town of San Francisco - or San Pancho to the locals. Discover for yourself why Travel + Leisure magazine tout San Pancho as one of Winter's hottest destinations to keep the endless Summer going with its "crimson sunsets, luxurious wellness, vibrant nightlife, and excellent fresh food". Also, Gretchen's been living there part-time for seven years, so we've got the best of the best lined up for our guests.
Our chic, beachfront location features thoughtful and sustainable design, fresh and organic cuisine, and a salt water pool with lounges and umbrellas. The property is awash with native flora, and the yoga space features open air breezes and stunning views of the Ocean.
Included in all packages are:
- transportation to and from the airport (traveling on retreat dates)
- daily yoga classes (twice daily, except arrival and departure dates)
- daily meals, both at the hotel and in town (with one dinner out on your own)
- a group escape to a exquisite beach near Punta Mita for al fresco lunch and lounging on white sand
- a day-pass to the exclusive Tierra Tropical Beach Club, steps from our hotel featuring stunning modern architecture, salt water pool, luxurious lounges and day spa
Upgrade your experience and choose from a variety of recommended bodyworkers and massage therapists known well to Gretchen. We'll have plenty of free time to discover and explore regional artisans at the weekly town market, enjoy evenings filled with local music, or shop for the perfect holiday gifts at the well curated local boutiques.
Additional add-on adventures can include hiking, surfing, horseback riding, visiting the local polo club, and traditional Mexican ceremonies like Temazcal (sweat lodge) or Cacao Ceremony.
