Vinyasa & Chill Spring Renewal Retreat with Monika Kaufman

This yoga retreat in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico, is a vinyasa retreat led by Monika Kaufman at the beachfront Xinalani Retreat Center. It is made for practitioners with some vinyasa experience who want a spring week of athletic, well-aligned practice, ocean time and shared meals in a small group.

What to Expect

Days follow a steady rhythm built around two yoga sessions, with open time between them. The morning begins with coffee, tea, fruit and granola, followed by a 20-minute guided meditation and a vinyasa flow. Classes emphasize alignment and intelligent sequencing, with refined cueing and modifications offered throughout. Breakfast comes after practice.

The middle of the day is yours for rest, exploring, or time on the water with the kayaks and snorkel equipment that are included. Lunch is served in the afternoon. In the evening, a second yoga session helps you process and integrate the day, and dinner follows.

The daily schedule runs roughly like this:

- 7:00 am to 7:30 am: morning coffee and snacks
- 8:00 am to 8:20 am: guided morning meditation
- 8:30 am to 9:45 am: morning vinyasa flow
- 10:00 am to 11:00 am: breakfast
- 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm: lunch
- 5:30 pm to 6:45 pm: evening yoga
- 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm: dinner

The group is small, which gives the week a close, supportive feel and room for real connection.
