Deepen your yoga practice, learn to surf, relax, and enjoy Mexican food and culture! We’re so excited to bring an amazing group to Baja Mexico, an area we have loved exploring and enjoying for many years. We intentionally create a sober, healing environment so you can experience the natural and cultural beauty of Baja with open eyes and a clear head.
We’ve traveled extensively through Baja and we always long to come back for the chill vibes, delicious food, and gorgeous coastline. With opportunities for surfing, ziplining, hiking, and practicing Spanish, this retreat includes many ways to get our of your comfort zone. You can look forward to sunrise and sunset yoga flows on the gorgeous patio at Native Residence, and delicious, plant-based, locally-inspired meals! We don’t think you’ll ever want to come home.
For safety and ease, ground transportation across the border from San Diego is included in this retreat. The second date offering for the retreat will include a Halloween party and Dia de los Muertos ceremony.

Zach and I have traveled extensively in Mexico, especially in this area of Baja. If you haven’t been to Mexico before you can trust in our competency and Spanish speaking abilities as guides! Please let us know if you have any questions!
Transportation is provided roundtrip from San Diego, California. You can drive yourself if you prefer. San Diego International Airport is the best option if you are coming from far away. It is also possible to drive to San Diego and leave your car there, then carpool with us across the border.
Travel booking option:
Since I get a lot of requests for assistance anyway, I decided to offer a new flight booking service for all my retreat guests and friends!
You provide me with your desired travel dates and airports and I will find you the cheapest, best flights possible and book them for you, no extra charge.
I’m a pretty good “travel hacker” thanks to years of experience. We can do this together via Zoom to confirm everything or I’ll make sure to triple check everything with you before booking!
This benefits YOU if online flight searching stresses you out or you just don’t find it fun.
Full disclosure, it benefits Zach and I because I book most of our travel using our credit card points. We have a lot of travel planned this year so we need as many points as possible. You’ll reimburse me and I’ll get the frequent flyer miles to fund my own travel habit, haha.
Could be a win win for all of us?
Let me know if you would like my help with this. I know booking a long journey with multiple connections can be a little bit annoying. But there are also ways to make it more enjoyable — 1 day layover in Tokyo, anyone? For the best prices, you’ll want to book these flights at least 4-6 months before we leave. Reach out when you’re ready if you want my help.

Since all retreat deposits and payments are used to secure venues, activities, and supplies, and since canceled spots require extra time and energy to re-fill, all deposits and payments are non refundable. In emergency situations, you may or may not be offered a credit for a future retreat or event, based on the decision of our team. Cancellations due to fear of travel are not transferable or refundable. Cancellations less than 1 month before your retreat are not refundable or transferable. We recommend travel insurance to protect your investment in the event you must cancel.
