Join Jennifer Pahl & Cynthia Pedraza for an unforgettable, transformative, and rejuvenating 7-day retreat at The Sanctuary for Self Discovery “Xinalani” an exclusive Yoga Retreat Center in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.With a native Mexican teacher, you may even leave with a few new Spanish words in your vocabulary and a renewed appreciation of this glorious culture. Come prepared to explore, learn, and have fun!
We’ll laugh and learn (and toast a margarita or two!) as we spend a week with equal parts Sol and Soul.
“Cynthia and Jen, your retreat was the highlight of my year. The location, meticulous planning, attention to detail, and absolute 5-star level of love and care speak volumes about the two of you. You brought together a group of like-minded mostly total strangers and ignited our sisterhood. That was truly magical. And the yoga and teachings were awesome too! Thank you! Thank You!”

Imagine yourself here:
Day1: to paradise!
Together, we’ll connect the 5 elements from Sol to Soul. Special welcome event planned to set intentions and meet the other yogis on this muy especial retreat. The five elements await.
Each day starts with coffee and tea in an open air palapa overlooking the ocean. Then, meet for an optional silent meditation walk to one of the FOUR yoga studios at the resort! We’ll have a morning practice, then breakfast, afternoon break with lunch, followed by an afternoon practice, and then a group dinner. Each day will also have surprises that will both delight and support you!
Day 2: Our first full day together!
Start the journey with intention and discover what the 5 elements represent and how they will build throughout the week. We’ll journal and find a yin flow that will help undo the travel and restore the body for the week.
Day 3: EARTH/TIERRA
Morning practice at the Sand Terrace yoga studio to increase your connection to the earth and find a sense of stability and serenity to improve your balance. Tania, a holistic health coach, will host an optional session after breakfast on nutrition and the five elements. The afternoon, we’ll have class with lots of juicy adjustments int he Jungle studio.Day 4: Tues., April 30. WATER/AGUAOptional Swim with the Wild Dolphins! We’ll be back at the Sand Terrace yoga studio to flow in a practice that will connect us to the water, and a meditation to wash away what does not serve. In the afternoon, we have a special treat with Tania and Coco teaching an Aerial Yoga class! If you haven’t tried yoga silks, these hammocks are truly a cocoon of love!
Day 5: FIRE/FUEGO
We’ll fire up the core today and build heat from within and discover a pranayama technique to heat from within. After an extra special afternoon ceremony, the afternoon session will cool us down with yon and another pranayama to balance the elements.
Day 6: AIR/AIRE
We’ll play with the element of air which is associated with freedom, openness and mobility. We'll be back in the yoga hammocks to truly experience the fresh, salty air that surrounds us. The afternoon practice brings a more restorative practice and a metta meditation.
Day 7: ETHER/ESPACIO
Our final full day together will connect the space around us to all the elements. We’ll weave a connection that you will take with you when you leave. Practices today are intentional and will provide you with the freedom to grow and expand your practice and cultivate space.
Day 8: Depart.
Optional morning practice pending departure schedules to prep the body for travel.Lots of hugs and photos!
“Topia was everything I had hoped for in my first yoga retreat and more! Not only were the accommodations and food amazing, but the itinerary offered the perfect mix of free time and group activities. Cynthia and Jennifer made turning 50 into the best girls’ trip celebration ever! Already looking forward to the next one with these amazing ladies :)”
