Combining simple elegance with natural beauty and a commitment to improving the environment and the local community, Playa Viva is a sustainable boutique hotel located on the western coast of Mexico, just 35 minutes south of Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa International Airport. Nestled between the sparkling waters of the Pacific Ocean and the majestic Sierra Madre Mountains near the village of Juluchuca, Playa Viva is situated on a mile of pristine and private beach.

The property’s nearly 200 acres includes an estuary, an Aztec archeological site, a turtle sanctuary, and a coastal forest and mangrove ecosystem which supports an array of stunning wildlife. Playa Viva is close enough to the trappings of modernity yet worlds away providing immersion into the wonders of nature, and escape to utter private relaxation.

There’s a reason that flowers don’t bloom all year round. A reason that vegetables don’t produce all year round. That the seasons change, the moon moves through phases, the tides follow her pull, and the animals respond to these cyclic changes. Our bodies experience the same movements and changes as all other living beings because we are nature too. We’ve been living in perpetual summer, wanting constant growth, constant expansion, constant blooming. We forgot about all the other seasons, and the essential role they play in the whole process. This work is for anyone who wants to feel more aligned, centered, whole and wild from the inside out and are willing to show up to that transformation even with the break downs and discomforts. Our days together will be filled with living, learning, breathing, working, growing, getting uncomfortable and inspired, aligning with and rebirthing your own self.

For this retreat there are three types of luxury accommodations at different costs for you to choose from, but no matter what you choose, all of the Playa Viva options are beautiful, extremely comfortable, and immersed in nature.

We will be practicing our daily yoga and meditation sessions & workshops at the beautiful “Acropolis of Yoga” at Playa Viva. In open air, surrounded by the Mexican jungle and with the gorgeous view of the Pacific Ocean, a lot of magic will happen on this space.

Our sessions will be made up of tools and teachings that will help you wake up that dormant wild and wholeness inside, as well as some to help us recenter and align. Practices to slow down your nervous system and get you in your body, tools to help find and nourish your inner being and some rewilding.
