Heart of the Week: Free People Escapes in Yelapa, Mexico

I am so so HONORED to be co-teaching this beautiful retreat created by Free People + YOGASCAPES with NYC yogini Aarona Ganesan!  

For a full week in January, we’ll make our home off-the-beaten-path, just north of Yelapa, Mexico at Xinalani eco-resort, a sanctuary for the soul where we can escape the discord and stress of modern life and restore the mind-body balance.

On this journey, our practice will honor the lingering energy of the winter solstice by resting more than doing, by dreaming more than acting, and by diving into ourselves. We’ll recharge amidst beautiful natural surroundings, soak up the sun, and float out at sea.

Each day will focus on healing the body with daily yoga and nourishing vegetarian meals. Mornings will begin with a daily card reading and a moment of silent meditation to honor the depths of winter. In the middle of our trip, guests will have the option of partaking in my three day Philosophie food-based cleanse through which they’ll learn about nutrition, superfoods, and encouraging healing in the body.

Throughout this experience an emphasis will be placed on fostering dreams; allowing ourselves permission to dream beyond our wildest imaginations, exploring storytelling, beautiful mystery, moon cycles, and more. Each soul who attends will leave feeling refreshed and ready to take on all the New Year has in store!

I would love to see members of the Philosophie Tribe join! If you’re interested in escaping with us to Yelapa, sign up here!
