Day of The Dead Yoga and Wellness Retreat

October 27-November 4, 2022 (8 nights)

All activities are optional! You can sleep in, go to bed early, go to the beach, do whatever your heart desires!

We provide all the things and the guidance; you choose what you would like to do!

Schedule is subject to change, but this is our current plan.

In addition to the retreat program you may wish to explore, shop, dine on your own. Please plan to bring $500 spending money or more depending on your tastes.

In addition to all the things listed there are often last minute surprise experiences that happen. Things do not run on a firm schedule in Mexico but Trista always has her ear to the ground with the locals and makes sure that you know about them as soon as she knows.
