Please join us on Om's Annual Winter Retreat!  You will most certainly feel refreshed and renewed after a week of health, wellness, and fun with Beth + Terry from Om on the Range! Our 2027 winter retreat has us returning to the paradise we found at Xinalani -- a highly respected eco-resort on the Bay of Banderas, just 12 miles south of Puerto Vallarta.  This lush Michelin-ranked resort is only accessible by boat. Daily yoga classes, healthy meals, time on the beach or poolside, abundant nature, peaceful vibes, and fellowship with other yogis are reinvigorating.  Mini-adventures and on-site massages can also be arranged. Xinalani is also a sweet spot for whale watching in the Bay of Banderas and daily sightings are a delight. Add in nature's sounds of the surf, birds and coattis and you have the recipe for the perfect well-being boost and winter getaway.  

We've been leading a yoga & mindfulness studio in Chicago for almost 25 years and yoga retreats for just about as long. Truly, teaching yoga is one of life's delights for us! Plan on a yoga session with each one of us each day.  The morning session will have more vigor, served up vinyasa-style. And the afternoon class will have more of a chill vibe.  Creating community and encouraging inquiry are part of our hallmarks as yoga leaders.  While our home base for teaching is Chicago, we've taught in Costa Rica, London, Paris, Tuscany, Tenerife, Tulum and throughout the US.  To our knowledge, we are the only MBA carrying (Beth/Northwestern and Terry/University of Chicago), married couple (28 years) and parents of 2 sons who have been working together in the yoga sector for 2 decades. But if there are others, we would love to meet these people!

"Beth and Terry are the real deal -- not goofy nor fake.  They are both accomplished professionals, parents, and spouses and they also happen to be genuinely excellent yoga teachers .  So their vibe is the rare combination of great skill as teachers coupled with all-around great human beings."  -- Elliot W.

"This retreat is like summer camp for adults! Nothing like starting and ending the day with yoga & watching the whales. Every room has a view, and karaoke night was a highlight." -- Carter

"We loved our week at Xinalani!  We got off the boat that took us from Puerta Vallarta to the resort and were immediately transported into a more peaceful, slower, gentler world. For us, we relished an active yet extremely relaxing vacation together.  Our room had an incredible ocean view plus we fell asleep and woke up to the crashing of waves. We greatly enjoyed the community that was formed during yoga and meals. We would definitely recommend this retreat with The Kielys to everyone." -- Robin and Jeff

"I felt so cared for by Beth & Terry, by the people who nourished us with delicious, healthy food and by my fellow yogis. Deepening my yoga practice in an idyllic place; what more can I ask for? Those yoga platforms hovering over the sea were amazing. This place is beautiful; I couldn't stop taking photos." -- Jackie K

"Beth and Terry are not only fantastic yoga teachers, they know how to make you feel welcome, comfortable, and seen. They also know how to cultivate community and camaraderie, so be prepared to bond with some amazing people!" -- Lisa C.

Xinalani is a special gem off the beaten track.  It's peaceful and nourishing.  Xinalani was recently recognized as a Michelin 3 key distinguished resort -- one of only 3 in Mexico. The resort is designed specifically for yoga retreats. All the practice studios are open-air, with inspiring views of the ocean. The resort is built on a mountainside, so every room has spectacular ocean views. Plan on fresh, open-air rooms (there are a couple of air-conditioned ones that can also be booked) and a palm-thatched roof design. The resort prides itself on being the perfect place for any yogi, meditator, or wellness enthusiast who values natural beauty, relaxation, and a well-run resort. The resort is known for delicious, healthy meals, a private beach, swimming pool, hot tub, sauna, a chill bar steps from the ocean and outstanding service. Upon your arrival, the resort can help arrange Spa Treatments and Activities like massages, hikes, swimming with wild dolphins, whale watching, or surfing lessons.  To better get the vibe here, please read  "10 Things You Should Know about Xinalani."

Sorry, unlike previous retreats, we cannot pro-rate your week to a shorter stay.  You are most welcome to come for a shorter time than the full 7 nights, but you will need to book for the full week.  

When booking your flights, it's very important to book your flight arrival in Puerto Vallarta to be early in the day on Saturday, January 23. Any flights arriving after 4pm for any reason will not make the transport/boat shuttle and it will be your financial responsibility to book a room for that evening. Xinalani will provide suggested hotels near the marina so that you can take boat transport the next morning and join the group.
