Joy & Recovery; a Be Here Now Retreat at Xinalani

Joy & Recovery; a Be Here Now Retreat is a wellness retreat held at Xinalani Retreat, an oceanfront retreat center just south of Puerto Vallarta in Jalisco, Mexico. It is meant for people who want time away to rest, restore and be present, in a setting made for yoga, meditation and quiet.

Xinalani hosts yoga and wellness retreats built around a few simple things: teachers who bring their own approach, nourishing cuisine, time in nature and a community of like-minded people. This retreat is one of those gatherings, and its title points to its spirit: joy, recovery and being here now.

The Setting

Xinalani sits between the jungle and the Pacific Ocean, a short way south of Puerto Vallarta. The center describes its retreats as bringing together yoga and meditation with movement, wellness and personal growth, and the surroundings are part of the offering. Jungle on one side and open ocean on the other give the days a natural rhythm, and the food is meant to nourish as much as the practice does.

The address is Xinalani Retreat, 48399 Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico. Guests who plan to join a retreat here should look at the retreat's own page for dates and availability, since these can change.
