yoga & deep rest: a retreat for women

Sarah Bell and I are excited to return to Playa Viva in February 2026. For the past three years, we've gathered and enjoyed a deeply replenishing and life-giving week at the beach: daily yoga practices, visits to the turtle sanctuary, joyful play and delicious meals. The warm sun and fresh salt air deeply nourished all.  

Read by the ocean in a reclining chair or hammock. Choose a boogie board and ride the waves. Take in the beauty of nature everywhere you look. Enjoy long walks on the beach, swimming, journaling, sketching, or sipping a fresh papaya and lime smoothie by the pool. Your choice!

There will be space to explore as a group and ample time for quietude.  

The focus of our time together will be to shift our perspective from our routines to be present with the warmth of the Mexican sun. Embrace each morning with curiosity. Savor each moment of every sunset.
