Begin Again

Begin Again is a seven-night yoga retreat at Xinalani Retreat, a secluded beach resort just outside Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico. It is led by Hannah Madgett, a yoga instructor, fitness trainer and sound healer from Seattle, and it welcomes anyone looking for rest, intentional movement, friendship or a place to deepen their practice, exactly as they are.

What to Expect

The days follow an unhurried rhythm built around daily yoga, meditation and an evening sound bath. Mornings begin with coffee and snacks from 7:00 to 7:30 am, followed by a short morning meditation at 8:00. A vinyasa class runs from 8:45 to 9:45 am, and breakfast is served afterward, from 10:00 to 11:00 am.

The long stretch from 11:00 am to 2:15 pm is free time. Guests can rest, swim, or take out a kayak or snorkel gear, which are included. Lunch is at 2:30 pm. From 5:00 to 6:00 pm, the group gathers for a sound bath, offered on most days of the week. Dinner follows at 7:30 pm. A beach bonfire is part of the program as well.

Hannah describes her hope for the week simply: that whatever your heart is searching for, whether peace, fun, connection or a deeper practice, you can find it here.
