“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.”

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

Each day you’ll move in stunning jungle studios surrounded by nature as you immerse yourself in Inspired Dance, Yoga, MELT Method classes, Yoga Nidra Sound Baths, and experiential movement workshops designed to rejuvenate you in body, mind, heart, and spirit. We teach our classes for all levels and offer adaptations and options 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.”
