If your question is not answered here, please write us at

What type of yoga do you teach?

My background is varied and eclectic. Although my main influence is Anusara yoga, for the yoga vacations I tailor the classes to the individuals and what they want and/or need. For example, I can teach a challenging vinyasa/power class, a therapeutic class, a meditative/stretch class, or any combination of the above!

What times are classes offered?

That again is up to the individual. Some of our vacationers have preferred sunset classes while others prefer a morning or afternoon class.

What levels of yoga do you offer?

From beginning to advanced. If a couple comes for a yoga vacation and each person is at a different level, I can teach a class which will challenge the more advanced student while not being overly demanding for the less experienced one.

Do you offer ongoing classes?

Not when I am living at the coast which is most of the time!

My boyfriend and I want to come but he doesn't do yoga; can he surf nearby?

Yes! We are next to one of the best surfbreaks in the area.

What forms of payment do you accept?

Cash, check or money order. We do not accept “plastic.”

What is your cancellation policy?

For a yoga vacation, 50% deposit is due at the time of the reservation and the balance is due 30 days before start of vacation. If there is a cancellation 30 days before, one half of the deposit is returned. If there is a cancellation within 30 days, the entire amount can be applied to a future vacation. For groups using retreat facilities, the policy is the same as above except there will be no refunds upon cancellation.

What do I need to bring (mat, towels, blocks)?

We have a supply of mats, blocks, straps, towels. Only bring a mat if you’re attached to it!

What do I need to wear (loose clothing, bathing suit, sarong)?

We have a very casual lifestyle and you will most likely be living in shorts or a bathing suit with a sarong. You may want to bring one or two pairs of long pants to wear in the evening or for hiking. For yoga shorts or yoga pants are the best.

What is the best way to get there? Fly? Drive? Bus?

The closest airport is Puerto Vallarta. Costs of flights from the U.S. vary wildly depending on the time of year, etc. There are several charter carriers we can recommend which offer affordable flights. We have had guests fly into other cities in Mexico and then take busses to our house. Busses in Mexico are very comfortable and affordable.
