A 7-day immersive retreat to refresh your body, mind and spirit, fall in love with your life, and build resilience through heart-centered community.
Yandara Yoga Institute is a private, beachfront retreat facility in Baja, Mexico, just one hour north of Cabo San Lucas. Luxury cabanas allow you to enjoy all the comforts of home while surrounded by the beauty of Baja's outdoors. Every cabana is fully furnished and equipped with lamps and electricity.
Cabo's desert climate creates a perfect outdoor-living oasis, with warm daytime sun for swimming and chilly evening temperatures for cozy sleeping.
Your private oasis awaits! Our retreat center, situated on miles of secluded beachfront, boasts luxury glamping cabanas, right on the beach. As you wake with the sunrise, step out of your cabana into the sand and walk to morning yoga. Fall asleep under the stars to the sound of ocean waves. Each cabana is fully furnished and equipped with lamps and electricity.
Airport shuttle service is arranged by our retreat center to and from Cabo San Lucas (SJD) on arrival and departure days. The service could not be easier! Most likely, you'll arrive on a flight with other SYS members, wait in the cafe outside the airport, and find a driver with a sign for our retreat group. The drive up the coastline takes about one hour, and the views are spectacular... you might even see whales!
We've planned a robust schedule of daily activities for the duration of your retreat. (All optional, of course!) Each morning, we'll host a sunrise meditation and a luxurious 90-minute yoga class, complete with breath work and a long savasana. In the evenings, we'll wind down with a mix of Yin Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and other favorite bedtime practices.
Awaken and solidify a consistent yoga practice to cultivate a happier, healthier, purpose-driven life.
Reset your nervous system and refuel your spirit through daily yoga and meditation, spiritual contemplation and unplugged time in nature.
Cultivate meaningful, lifelong friendships that feel like family and nourish the soul in just one week.
I’m so happy you’re here. Thank you for prioritizing your health, happiness and well-being. Your personal healing is a powerful act of service that benefits not only YOU but also your entire family, the whole of humanity, and the evolution of our species and planet. I pray this retreat offers you all of the personal transformation you're seeking, a launching pad for the next exciting chapter of your life, and a genuine sense of belonging within a community.
Through this uniquely high-level, philosophy-rich retreat, you’ll learn that Yoga is an experience. A state of consciousness. Not a workout. Not the latest trend. That’s why our retreat is rooted in the 5,000+ year old spiritual science of Yoga. (It’s called a science because it’s tried and true. It has stood the test of time and is a proven methodology. It really works!)
The basic purpose of Yoga is to awaken one’s awareness and strengthen one’s relationship with life. It is much more than a physical practice for the body-mind. Yoga is the art of right living, encompassing simple living and high thinking. It is the inherent calling to honor the sacredness that lies at the core of the natural world.
Think of this retreat as a crash course in resiliency. You'll learn how to live in this world with all of its stressors, toxins, and challenges… and not just get by. But to THRIVE in it.
I can't wait to embark upon this journey with you.
