Savor a dream wellness vacation as you step into our Inspire Movement Retreat at Xinalani. Located just 45 minutes from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and only accessible via boat, you’ll enjoy 8 days and 7 nights of dance, yoga, and meditation at this rejuvenating eco-resort with Al Wright & Vickie Saito. Our retreat is open to solo travelers, partners, friend groups, and anyone seeking to deepen their relationship with themselves through mindful movement.

 

DAILY SCHEDULE

Move in stunning jungle studios surrounded by nature as you immerse yourself in daily Inspired Dance, Yoga, MELT Method classes, Yoga Nidra Sound Baths, and more designed to rejuvenate you in body, mind, heart, and spirit. We teach our classes for all levels and offer adaptations to help you receive the most from your movement practice.

Our retreats have ample free time built into each day. When you’re not in class, you can soak up the beauty and bliss of the ocean, indulge in a spa treatment, detox in the sweat lodge, or relax at Xinalani’s beachfront bar. Fuel your adventurous spirit by signing up for any one of Xinalani’s group tours: swimming with dolphins, whale watching, canopy zip-lining, or waterfall excursions.

“My favorite parts of the retreat were the 5 Elements Workshop and the 5 Stages of Self-Healing. I really enjoyed sharing meals with the group and getting to know each other. The dance and movement felt very healing and reminded me of how to access my joy and connection to myself. The daily yoga and meditation was a wonderful way to start each day.”

ACCOMMODATIONS & RETREAT INCLUSIONS

Your retreat fee includes your accommodations, 3 meals per day, transportation to and from the airport, as well as all movement classes and workshops.

“This Inspire Movement Retreat in Xinalani was a true step away from winter into a beautiful, renewing experience in a magnificent setting. Vickie and Allison were inspiring and modeled kindness and collaborative leadership as they taught. The participants were each delightful and inspiring as we shared dance and yoga classes, the meals and our stories.”

MENU

Set at the edge of the ocean and bordered by lush jungle, Xinalani’s restaurant offers a healthy menu that includes three delicious healthy meals per day–vegetarian/vegan, fish, and chicken options–as well as a light breakfast for early risers including a mix of granola, fresh fruit, Mexican coffee, and an assortment of teas.

 

TRANSPORTATION

One of the things that makes Xinalani unique is that it’s only accessible via water taxi. Your transportation to and from the airport to Xinalani is included in your retreat fee, including transfer via taxi to the pier of API Terminal Marítima in Marina Vallarta (15 min) as well as transfer by boat from the Marina Vallarta pier to Xinalani (45 min). You might even see whales on your way in!

You’ll book your own airfare to/from the airport in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (PVR). Once you’ve paid your retreat deposit, book an arrival flight that arrives no later than 3:00pm and a departing flight that takes off no earlier than 11:00am.

“The combination of fabulous dance, breathtakingly beautiful nature, with deliciously healthy food made for a perfect getaway. I signed up for the following year before I even left! It was magical.”
