Say Yes to Your YES in Mexico

Say Yes to Your YES in Mexico is a women's wellness retreat in Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, built around yoga, meditation, yoga nidra and a Mayan cacao ceremony. It is led by Jennifer Jane Young, an intuitive leadership coach and the author of the book Say Yes to Your YES. The retreat is for women who feel stuck, want to reconnect with their intuition and joy, and are looking for clarity about their next chapter.

What to Expect

The week is a pause from everyday noise, with a mix of stillness, movement, time in nature and guided reflection. Days begin with yoga, and breakfast is served afterward. Jennifer and Karen lead daily yoga, meditation, yoga nidra and mindfulness practices.

The Say Yes workshops draw on both spirituality and physiology. They explore the philosophy of flow and practical strategies for bringing more of it into your life and work. A guided sound bath offers a somatic experience of vibration and deep relaxation. In the Mayan cacao ceremony, you set intentions for your life.

Time outdoors is part of the program. One excursion takes you to a cenote, a natural freshwater pool, to swim and explore. Another is a day-long boat cruise on the Caribbean with snorkeling and time in the sun. Therapeutic massage and energy work are available in-house.

Past guests describe the group as warm and mutually supportive. The retreat aims to send you home with clarity about your next YES, practical tools for an intuition-led path, a deeper trust in your own timing, and a community of like-hearted women.
