Rise & Radiate: Kundalini and Sound Bath Retreat

Rise & Radiate is a week-long Kundalini yoga and sound bath retreat at Xinalani Retreat, an eco retreat in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico. It is for anyone who wants a week of slowing down, letting go, and clearing away the obstacles that stand in the way of a full and meaningful life, with daily Kundalini practice and evening sound healing shaping the days. It is led by Meg Long, also known as Kavalya Shanti Kaur.

What to Expect

The week is built around raising Kundalini energy and radiating your true self. Each day includes Kundalini yoga in the morning and a sound bath in the evening, with hikes, pool time, and rest in between.

A typical day runs like this:

- 7:00 am to 7:30 am: morning coffee and snacks
- 8:00 am to 9:30 am: morning yoga
- 10:00 am to 11:00 am: breakfast
- 11:15 am to 2:00 pm: two optional hikes
- 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm: lunch
- 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm: evening sound bath
- 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm: dinner

The hikes are optional, and there is plenty of unscheduled time. You can spend it in the pools, in the dry sauna, on the white sandy beach, or simply resting. Everyone is encouraged to practice slowing down and finding contentment in the natural beauty of the retreat center.
