Anandamaya Baja Retreat

April 18-24, Todos Santos, Baja Sur

Imagine, for a moment,

waking up to the soft sound of chimes. You drape yourself in a comfy sweater for the short walk to the yoga shala where your meditation cushion awaits. 

After a few moments simply sitting in blissful silence, you arise again with a clear mind and an open heart. Your coffee awaits. This morning, you’ll enjoy it by the pool, gazing out over the Pacific Ocean.

As the sun warms the air, you return to the yoga shala, this time to roll out your yoga mat. You breathe and move for 90 minutes. You have all the time in the world. You decide to rest longer in savasana before joining the others for breakfast.

After breakfast, the day belongs only to you. A walk by the shore, a cliff-side hike, a trip to town, or a massage and hammock lounging. You get to choose.

As the sun drops lower in the sky, you return to deep self-study again. A meditation workshop, a yoga pose breakdown, or an afternoon practice combining the two.

A full day behind you, it’s time to nourish the body in a different way, this time with local, farm-fresh foods. You take your dessert by the fire, joining the others to laugh and reflect upon the day.

Connect to your body of bliss on this all-inclusive 6-night retreat.

Get to know the wonder and beauty of Southern Baja, and also within. What is anandamaya? It is bliss, joy, playfulness, and a reflection of you when you’re in your most deeply relaxed, natural state.

All are welcome. Daily yoga and meditation practices require no previous experience and yet are full of depth and challenge for those ready for more.

 

Yoga, meditation and more…

The Place

  • Twice-daily yoga and meditation practices take place in a spacious open-air, yet shaded, yoga shala.

  • Onsite dining makes use of the local, in-season ingredients for a unique experience of Baja’s flavors. Gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan diets can be accommodated. Your retreat pricing includes 3 meals per day.

  • Schedule a treatment during your down time. Spa treatments include skin-care rituals, massages and more. (spa services not included in retreat pricing)

The Practices

  • Twice-daily yoga practices include a morning vinyasa flow, restorative evening practices as well as foundational and peak pose workshops. Classes are suitable for all levels.

  • Learn to meditate or renew your commitment to practice with twice-daily sessions. We will balance guided offerings with time spent just sitting.

  • Every Baja Surf Yoga retreat includes outings and adventures. A guided cliff-side hike to a secret beach, a trip to the quaint ‘Pueblo Magico’ of Todos Santos and a shaman-led temazcal ceremony are all included.

The People

  • Sara-Mai’s classes are informed by her athleticism and her practice of Tibetan Buddhism. On this retreat, she’ll guide you through playful, dynamic sequences, quiet moments of contemplation, and joyful off-the-mat activity. Read her full bio here.

  • Casie Hall’s classes are informed by her interest in anatomy and alignment. Her love of getting upside down is infectious. On this retreat, she’ll guide you toward balance between precision and playfulness. Casie is the owner of Nectar Flow Yoga studio in Spicewood, Texas. Read her full bio here.

  • Baja Surf Yoga retreat attendees travel as singles, couples or friends. Some are brand new to yoga, while others have known us and the practice for years. Everyone is welcome in this supportive, safe space.

Along with most of our group, I’m already planning on how to return to Todos Santos. I loved how beautiful it was, with great food and plenty of activities, yet still felt far off the beaten path. After 5 days, I felt rejuvenated and so grateful to have had the experience of uninterrupted days of meditation, yoga, outdoor adventures, and amazing food.

FAQs

  • Sorry, but this is not the right question. This would be like asking, ‘Is the United States Safe?’ Mexico is a large, diverse country spanning over 750,000 square miles. Would you forego a vacation to Santa Barbara because Chicago isn’t safe? The better question is, is the state of Baja California Sur safe? And the answer is yes. I (Sara-Mai) live here in part because it is much safer than the United States! (And yes, we’re specifically referencing the USA because our guests from other countries never ask this question.)

  • Does it? When searching for yoga and meditation retreats, you may see several listed for less. But are you comparing apples to apples? Many retreats price airport transportation (a $200 value), excursions (a $320 value) and tips (a $160 value) separately. You might be on your own for lunches and some dinners. You could feel like you’re getting a deal, but then end up spending an additional $1,000 more on arrival. At Baja Surf Yoga, we prefer to be upfront about the TOTAL COST, so the only variable you need to account for is your airfare. And…you can simply enjoy yourself once you land!

  • At Baja Surf Yoga, we include outdoor adventures and day trips on each retreat because we believe yoga happens off the mat as well as in the studio. Including the activities as part of our all-inclusive pricing is intended to break down barriers to participation. Some of the adventures may present you with challenges, which you are by no means forced to overcome. We’re happy to let you stay at the retreat center in the hammock all day! The invitation, however, is to step out of your comfort zone and into the unknown. We’ll be supporting you every step of the way.

  • Yoga (and meditation) is a deeply personal practice. Each person’s experience with a pose is unique to them. What might be ‘challenging’ for one person, is ‘easy’ for another. Some find the physical movement challenging, while others have trouble sitting still! We strive to offer classes that are suitable for all levels. That said, you will find that regardless of the offering, yoga and meditation present you with the exact opportunity for growth you need in each moment.

  • A $500 non-refundable deposit reserves your spot. You can pay via PayPal, Venmo or Credit Card. Your remaining balance is due in full by February 28, 2024. You’re welcome to pay the remainder in increments between now and February 28th, effectively creating your own payment plan. See the full terms of purchase here.

  • Your initial $500 deposit is non-refundable. If you cancel on or before December 31, 2023, any payments made will be returned to you, minus your $500 deposit. Any cancelations on or after January 1, 2024 are 100% non-refundable unless we can find someone by April 1, 2024 to take your spot. We highly recommend travel and trip insurance!
