Playa Viva in Zihuatanejo, Mexico 

with Amy Young and Sarah Bell

We have one spot open in a double accommodation treehouse for our fourth-annual Yoga and Deep Rest Retreat! 

There may also be other accommodations available at Playa Viva, 

and we have an opportunity to reserve them for you if you want! 

Send me an email and I will be in touch with your options. 

• Six nights in beautiful, open-air accommodations with ocean views (one treehouse still available).
• Marvelous meals with ingredients fresh from the thriving, organic farm.
• Unspoiled natural beauty everywhere you look. 
• Conservationists release baby sea turtles into the ocean most days before sunrise, just a ten-minute walk up the beach. You can cheer the turtles on their harrowing journey!
• Massages, scrubs, and facials (with the sound of waves crashing in the background) are available for appointment.
• Daily yoga offerings include yin yoga, Iyengar-inspired asana practices, morning meditations, restorative yoga, and sound healing. 
• Lots of free time to wander, wonder, swim, sip a smoothie, boogie board, and do whatever you choose.

Rancho La Puerta, Tecate, Baja California, Mexico

I was on the fitness staff at Rancho La Puerta from 2004-2006. 

The best job EVER!

It's such a pleasure to return for a Yoga Specialty Week.
The Ranch just celebrated its 85th year. It's one of the world's most iconic wellness retreats. Most guests visit from Saturday to Saturday and enjoy an active daily schedule that includes everything from water aerobics to yoga to arts and crafts. Each week, a rotating cast of visiting experts lead sessions on topics such as gut health, life coaching, and dance. I am one of the visiting instructors this week! Between activities and spa services, it’s easy to become so busy at The Ranch that you forget what’s missing: Wi-Fi is limited to a few of the 86 casitas, cell service is nonexistent, and phones are discouraged except for photos.
