About this trip

We are getting close to being fully booked! If you plan to register, please send a message via 'Contact Organizer' to the right or send Brette or Lisa an email prior to booking.

Retreat and renew on a quest of simple pleasures through good yoga, food, and company to inspire possibility, connection, and meaning in your life. Join us for daily yoga asana classes, explore the beautiful land and sea, and allow yourself the time to reconnect to the joy in your life. Return home refreshed and grounded in simplicity to live a good life in 2018. 


With nature and Xinalani taking care of the gorgeous setting and delicious food, it is Brette and Lisa’s intent to give you an exceptional yoga experience. With a shared appreciation for intelligent teaching and the good things in life, we will offer a variety of quality classes and plenty of downtime. Each morning we will sync up with ourselves and nature with simple pranayama and meditation. Late morning there will be an alignment based hatha yoga class thoughtfully planned with you in mind. Throughout the week we will explore a variety of postures and sequences intended to deepen your connection to your body and practice. In addition, many days, we will offer an additional class in the early evening with time to restore and reflect.

Brette and Lisa have a combined experience of more than 35 years of teaching yoga. Their unique but perfectly complementary approach to sharing yoga creates a retreat experience with the freedom to play, encouragement to rest, and guidance to reconnect to yourself. This will be their seventh year co-leading a destination yoga retreat.

Brette and Lisa have organized the perfect week of "connection" and recharging. The retreat helped me to recalibrate my compass towards Truth! Forever grateful, Sandhya

Life changing! GO! Brette and Lisa have created a supportive and loving trip that allows you to take it to whatever degree you want. You will definitely find good food, laughter, "Mexico yoga" (very accessible to all...but may take you deep within yourself...it's good!) and great company! I have gone 4 times and each time has brought me a deeper knowing of myself. This last time is having a huge and lasting effect on me....I have a feeling the 5th time is going to be extra magical! :) See you there?

Thank you much for a wonderful trip. Your consideration and care was greatly appreciated. I know a lot of work goes into retreats like this and not a single detail was overlooked. Anyone that takes a trip with you is in good hands.
