Sign-up here: Mexico Dream Women’s Retreat
About the Retreat
Tune into your natural rhythms and discover what inspires and feeds your soul. This is your invitation to pause. To come alive to a life painted by the rich colors of your dreams. To connect to nature, to others, to beauty, to breath. This is your invitation to a moment that will remind you of the essence you carry in the center of your soul. Let's come together and meet at La Joya, a tucked away oasis where lush jungle meets the warm pacific sea in Sayulita, Mexico! We'll bask in the surf and sun. We'll move, meditate, breathe and reflect. We'll eat good food and forge good friendships. With plenty of time for beach naps and pool laughs. Women arrive with the intention to reconnect with themselves, mind, body and spirit. To take a deep dive into what their soul is calling for. To adventure, explore, play and meet like minded sisters along the way.
During your time on retreat Sarah and Amanda hold space for you to unplug from the noise and tune inward. Through gentle conversation, guided journal prompts, group sharing, hands-on healing adjustments in yoga along with restorative and Hatha yoga practices daily, you are deeply soaked and immersed in the retreat recipe. Retreat support also comes from the lush land, retreat environment and La Joya's staff. The locally sourced food, an abundance of natural beauty, space to be alone or amongst friends, community, and warm water and sun all play a huge role in the Mexico Dream Retreat experience. We created a safe space where you can experience complete relaxation and deep nourishment, while exploring the land, sea and the cute vibrant town of Sayulita. Whatever you choose, we will support and guide you on your journey of transformation and exploration. If this resonates with your heart and soul we would love to share this retreat voyage with you!

About the instructors:
Sarah Pascual
In practicing and teaching yoga, Sarah was introduced to the value of slowing down and creating space to notice thoughts and sensations in a mindful way. This yin style of yoga allowed her to really go deep into relaxation in a way that she had never experienced before. In that depth of rest she has found so much healing on a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual level. On retreat with Sarah you will get a good dose of this "depth of rest" she speaks about.
Sarah has been teaching yoga and mindfulness for 15 years in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her passion for travel and group facilitating has kept her retreat business in full bloom for 10 years. Her teachings pull from a wide tapestry of mind-body healing modalities that she's studied: Hatha, Restorative, Yin and Satya yoga, Holistic Massage Therapy, Subtle Body Energy Work, Self-Inquiry and Soul-Based Coaching. She gracefully and methodically weaves these teachings together with deliberate attention to what her students may need, guiding them towards a more conscious connection to body, heart and spirit. Sarah's warm and welcoming energy is felt and allows you to show up exactly how you are, she believes through practice one can create flow, authenticity, grace and ease on and off the mat, inevitably pouring out into all aspects of life. Sarah can't wait to share this special experience with you in Sayulita, Mexico!
Amanda Shea
Amanda found her love for yoga and travel after attending her first yoga retreat with Sarah in Costa Rica. Currently based in Sayulita, Mexico, her passion for hosting and hospitality is evident in the way she cares for her students and retreat guest. As our Happiness Concierge, she is here for you from the begging to the end, helping with planning and coordinating your travel, making sure you pack all the essentials, ensuring your dietary needs are met, organizing your excursions and/or body work appointments, to offering hands on touch and adjustments in the yoga classroom.
Her desire is to help you make the most out of your retreat experience, by taking the stress of planning and organizing off your plate, you are able to land and drop in as soon as you arrive. She is here to hold space, offer assistance and guidance should anything come up during your stay, and always extending her warmth and kindness through her smile. She truly thrives in taking care of people, and her goal is to make your retreat experience the best it can be. What really sparks her spirit is the healing and nourishment she’s received and experienced in her personal experiences on retreat, and her goal is to hold space and create the ease and flow for you to have the same opportunity to rest, receive and heal.
