New Year's Yoga & Meditation Retreat​ ~ San Pancho, MEXICO ~ DEC. 27, 2020-JAN. 2, 2021
A time to exhale, nourish yourself, and connect to magic.
Hanuman Yoga Retreat is delighted to offer our 8th Annual New Year’s Yoga, Meditation, and Wellness Retreat in San Pancho, Mexico! Your 7 day tropical holiday retreat will be filled with many blessings— nature’s nurturing, fantastic food, and an engaging program led by highly experienced, heart-centered practitioners. Our carefully designed itinerary uniquely offers a wide variety of somatic and mindful modalities to experience many approaches and tools for well-being. Movement and meditation allows us to let go of stress and tension, increase body awareness, expression, and build a healthy relationship with ourselves. We'll also re-examine ways in which we can go from being 'stuck' in our patterns, ego and need for control, to greater trust in our truth and freedom. Stepping into this new space naturally opens up healing, creativity, and intuition— embracing 2021 with fresh energy, strength, and meaning.
At Hanuman Yoga Retreat, we love our work and do our best to create meaningful CONNECTION and make TRANSFORMATION happen! We strive to develop a community experience-- learning, laughing, sharing, and supporting, yet allowing time for yourself. We offer our guests a balance of structure and flexibility during the retreat. Our outstanding TripAdvisor reviews offer testimonials from our guests' experience. Read all about it here.

----- FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS! ----
Q: I'm a little nervous about joining this retreat. I'm not sure if I will fit in. How do I know if this retreat is right for me?
A: Our past New Year's Retreat participants have ranged in ages 20-60, men, women, various nationalities, single travelers, mother/adult daughters, couples, lawyers, artists, doctors, teachers, and everything else in between. :) The more diverse, the merrier! This is not a yoga or meditation boot camp! This is a retreat-- you have chosen to take a break, to rest, restore, and care for yourself. If you do have yoga experience...the classes will still be gentle and/or moderate. This is the intention of the retreat.
Q: Do I need to join all the sessions?
A: Absolutely not. Everything is optional! To get the most out of the retreat program, we do recommend trying to attend as many sessions as you are up for. This helps to develop a natural self-care routine when you return home. People who participate feel more connected to the group.
Q: What should I bring?
A: San Pancho, Mexico has a casual and tropical atmosphere. Comfortable, light, breathable clothes for yoga/meditation are recommended. Bring day wear, light layer for cool mornings/evenings and swim wear. Some people like to dress up for dinner or to go into town, but this is not required. Wear footwear that is easy to slip on and off for entering/exiting the yoga/meditation room. Bring appropriate footwear for the New Year's day hike. A hat, sunscreen, mosquito repellant, water bottle, a journal, and a flashlight are all handy. Yoga mats and props are provided.
Q: What will the meals be like?
A: Breakfast will consist of: coffee/tea, juice, fruit, and hot/cold items made-to-order. Lunch and dinner will be feature Nayarit inspired meals with vegetarian and other dietary options available. (Please let us know in advance of your dietary needs.)
Q: How much money should I bring?
A: You will need Mexican pesos if you go into town for shopping, spa treatments, and dining. Most businesses don't accept credit cards. Exchange your currency at the Puerto Vallarta airport or Sayulita town. These services are not available in San Pancho. USD $100-$125 for the week is recommended for average spending on souvenirs, snacks, and spa treatments.
Q: What is the gratuity?
A: Tips for the housekeeping and the kitchen staff are appreciated and accepted in Mexican pesos or US dollars. There will be a tipping jar available if you'd like to contribute. USD $70-$90 for the week is what guests typically leave for a week's stay.
Q: Is Mexico safe?
A: Absolutely! I have held retreats in Mexico every year for the past seven years, and I always look forward to being back. Mexicans are some of the most genuinely warm, good-hearted, and kind people you'll ever meet. I feel very comfortable traveling solo in Mexico, taking local transport, and eating at street stalls-- and that's without knowing any Spanish! Please don't believe any negative press about Mexico or Mexicans. I can assure you that you will be charmed by this country!

Q: What about that COVID thing?
A: We want to create the least risk and best outcome for you. For only $1, you can get on the waiting list for this retreat. Simply fill out the contact form below. This will help us create a list of people who are interested and want to stay updated on the retreat status. The waiting list means that we are not taking any deposits at the moment until we are quite sure that the retreat can happen without any issues. There's no commitment, obligation, or guarantee being on the waiting list. You can ask to be removed from the waiting list at any time. (But no refunds on the $1!) We do not save your credit card information.
Maraica Hotel is currently open to guests. However, bookings for the New Year's retreat will not officially open until November. At that time, we'll ask for a $350 non-refundable deposit to hold your spot. If you are no longer interested, no problemo. We'll cross your name off the waiting list and move on to the next name. The remaining balance will be due by Dec. 5, 2020.
Currently, there is no COVID testing or quarantine required to enter Mexico. On your flight, you will be given a brief health form to fill out before landing at Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR). Your temperature will be taken upon arrival at the airport. You will be picked up at the airport by Maraica's drivers and taken directly to the hotel. In early Sept. 2020, I personally visited Maraica Hotel and the surrounding areas (San Pancho, Sayulita, Puerto Vallarta). My time there was wonderful, and it was the perfect place to rest, restore, and rejuvenate. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. Also, please check if your country, workplace, etc. will suggest quarantine after your trip.
Because life is unpredictable, we highly recommend purchasing travel insurance.
If the retreat is cancelled by Hanuman Yoga Retreat or Maraica Hotel, a full refund (minus $15 processing fee) will be returned to the guest. Hanuman Yoga Retreat and Maraica Hotel will not be held liable for any loss due to the cancellation of the retreat (ie. airfare, lost vacation days, work-related issues, etc.). We also reserve the right to not proceed with the retreat before November or before collecting the $350 deposit.
