“Boundaries for the Soul” A Yoga & Mental Wellness Retreat
Join Marcie Costello and Melissa Perry at Yandara in Todos Santos, Mexico on the beautiful Baja coast. This retreat is for those who are ready to explore your inner shadow, communication and boundary styles, so you can cultivate deep, meaningful relationships and live life more fully.
Imagine embarking on a transformative journey at a secluded retreat nestled between the ocean and the desert. As you step foot onto this sacred land, you feel a sense of tranquility wash over you, a knowing that this is a place where deep healing and growth await.
This desert beach oasis is located on 7 acres of property on the beautiful Baja coast, just one hour north of Cabo San Lucas. The property includes a saltwater pool, a beach with a magnificent coastline, a large beachfront yoga pavilion with breathtaking views of the ocean on one side and the mountains on the other.
Our "Boundaries of the Soul" retreat invites you to embark on a profound exploration of your inner world. Through guided workshops and immersive experiences, you will dive into the depths of your being, shedding light on your shadows, unraveling patterns of communication and boundary styles, and discovering the essence of your true self.
Within this safe and nurturing space, you will have the opportunity to cultivate deep and meaningful relationships with both others and yourself. Engage in heartfelt conversations, share vulnerable moments, and connect with fellow seekers on a soul level. Through this collective journey, you will discover the beauty of human connection, realizing that we are all interconnected in the vast tapestry of life.
Throughout the retreat, you will be provided with powerful tools and practices to facilitate your inward journey and guide you back to the essence of who you truly are. From guided meditations and yoga sessions to empowering workshops, each day will offer a new opportunity for self-reflection and self-discovery.
Imagine falling asleep under a blanket of twinkling stars, the rhythmic sounds of the ocean lulling you into a state of deep relaxation. Wake up to a symphony of singing birds and welcome the day with a gentle yoga and meditation session, connecting your body and mind in unison.
Nourishing meals will be prepared with love and intention, providing you with sustenance and energy to support your journey. Indulge in fresh, local ingredients that will nourish not only your body but also your spirit.
As part of this holistic retreat experience, you will have the opportunity to embark on exciting excursions and explore the natural beauty of the surrounding area with plenty of downtime to relax with a book in a hammock, swim in the saltwater pool or engage in mindful walks along the beautiful shoreline. Adventure to the artisan town of Todos Santos with its charming boutiques and open air markets or take a surf lesson at the famous Cerritos beach. These excursions will serve as a reminder of the interconnectedness between nature and our innermost selves.
The "Boundaries of the Soul" retreat is a sanctuary of self-discovery, a place where you can reconnect with your true essence and embark on a transformative journey towards inner peace and fulfillment. Leave behind the noise of the outside world and embark on a profound exploration of your heart, mind, and soul.
Fitness & Weight Loss Retreat
Join Holly Peng, MD and Marcie Costello and get a reboot on health and fitness! Join us for an all inclusive week of yoga and fitness, hiking, health lectures, delicious wholesome foods, meditation, relaxation, fun and a whole lot more! The 2023 retreat focus is for folks in the beginning stages of their fitness goals, so easier hikes and exercises. But make no mistake, this week can be the beginning of lifelong weight loss, physical and mental health, and exuberant living.
Our fitness guides will lead you on daily 1-3 hour hikes to nearby trails near the shore and in midst of forest and mountains. Our August 2023 retreat will be more beginner based but expect to sweat and get a good cardiovascular workout while receiving nature therapy. We will also lead you in a kayaking tour in beautiful Puget Sound waters. Morning yoga classes will stretch your muscles and prepare you for a continued week of activity. Other classes consist of strength training, yoga, and meditation.
Local gourmet chefs will prepare individualized meals for your specific needs, using mostly organic locally sourced sustainably raised food. You will be on average 1400-1800 calories/day of meals and snacks throughout the day and you will not feel hungry. Instead you will be energized and feel fully sustained. After a week of eating clean, you will feel like a new person and lose weight. You will also learn about nutrition and mindful eating through lectures and discussions.
Learn how mindfulness promotes less inflammation in the body, changes the brain and promotes prefrontal cortex and reduces our fight and flight center. You will be led in yoga and meditation classes and you will have quiet personal relaxation time at the inn.
You will have the opportunity to book massage sessions during your week at the inn by local therapists. Cleansing food and drinks will support your body to detoxify toxins and chemicals that build up from our environment. Sweating during your workouts and re-hydrating with clean water will naturally detoxify your body.
