WINTER YUCATÁN RETREAT

A Week of Yoga, Sea, Nature & Renewal

Begin the new year with a deeply nourishing winter retreat on the Yucatán Coast of Mexico.

Join Leslie and Nami for seven nights of daily yoga, meditation, movement, delicious meals, time with the sea, and the spaciousness to slow down and reconnect.

Our sanctuary for the week opens directly onto the beach, giving us plenty of room to gather, practice, swim, eat, rest, wander, and enjoy being together with warm ocean breezes, palm trees, sandy beaches, spectacular sunrises and sunsets, evening stars, and the magic of retreat.

We’ll have two pools, a large covered palapa for practice, spacious common areas, and the open ocean just steps away.

There will be plenty of opportunities to explore, but also plenty of time to rest, relax, read, swim, nap, and enjoy being in this beautiful place.

DAILY PRACTICE

Led by Leslie Graves and Nami Soga, our daily practice offerings will include morning meditation, journaling, and vinyasa-based yoga flows, along with mindful embodied practices.

Gentle yoga, yin, breathwork, and restorative practices will usher us into the evenings before our communal dinners. All levels and experience are welcome.

DELICIOUS, HOME-COOKED MEALS

Be nourished with three meals a day, prepared by our local chef using fresh, high-quality ingredients. Meals will include vegan, vegetarian, and pescatarian options, and food allergies and dietary restrictions can be accommodated. Morning coffee and tea, fresh fruit, and snacks will also be available throughout the day.

OUR HOME

Our home for the week is a spacious beachfront sanctuary in a quiet area along the Yucatán Coast. The house opens directly onto the beach, with ocean breezes, palm trees, and beautiful views throughout the property. The main villa has three levels and four bedrooms, with additional bedrooms located in separate bungalow spaces. This gives everyone a lovely balance of privacy and communal space. We’ll practice in the covered palapa with the ocean breeze around us and may take some practices directly onto the beach for sunrise or sunset.

TWO DAY TRIP EXCURSIONS

We’ll have two excursion days to explore some of the cultural and natural wonders of the Yucatán.

We will spend a day exploring Mérida, the beautiful capital of Yucatán, with time to wander its historic streets, experience its architecture and food, and visit the nearby ancient Maya site of Dzibilchaltún.

On another excursion, we plan to visit the archaeological site of Mayapán before heading into the Homún area to swim and cool off in some of the Yucatán’s beautiful cenotes.

The rest of the week will intentionally remain spacious, with plenty of time to enjoy the beach, pools, house, and the slower rhythm of retreat.

PRIVATE SESSIONS

Nami will be available throughout the retreat for private acupuncture, bodywork, Reiki energy healing, and astrology readings.

Private sessions are an additional cost and can be booked in advance.
