March 23-29, 2025 ~ Somatic Wellness and Adventure Retreat ~ Yelapa, Mexico

Join Gentle Somatic Yoga Founder, James Knight, in this remote part of Mexico for a Somatic Wellness & Adventure Retreat while there are still a few rooms available. Because of the unique nature of this retreat, we have attracted some of the most inspired and interesting people from our Somatic Wellness family from all over the world -- so whether you come solo or with family, a partner, or a friend, you are destined to meet like-minded/hearted individuals and possible new life-long friends. James is well known for his "off the beaten path" wellness vacations and this one is especially unique because James has been coming down to this part of the world for over 20 years and he is including local healers and artists to assist in our ceremonies & activities.
We've chosen a peaceful, eco-friendly retreat center south of Puerto Vallarta only accessible by a short boat taxi ride (there are no cars or roads in Yelapa - everything is accessible by foot or boat taxi - which we can arrange for you). This tranquil resort has breathtaking ocean-front rooms, an open-air yoga studio, a saltwater pool & jacuzzi overlooking the ocean, easy access to the beach, the most delicious cuisine, the kindest, caring staff… and so much more!
This gentle, restorative, and therapeutic somatic movement retreat will allow you to connect with what is truly important to you as you take time to unplug, peel away the layers of the everyday hustle and bustle, and settle into a slower rhythm of life. Practicing Gentle Somatic Yoga and meditation daily will also set the stage for personal and collective transformation, as each participant is invited to drop into embodied states of peace and well-being.
This is a wonderful opportunity to unwind from stress and try new things for deep self-care… with options for:
Swimming in the infinity edge saltwater pool, or relaxing by the shaded organic juice bar
Laying on the beach and swimming in the warm Pacific Ocean
Tours to nearby islands for snorkeling and beach picnic
Massage and other nourishing spa treatments on-site
Nearby excursions with jungle hikes along a pristine river (with waterfalls).
A Vision Quest is offered mid-week upriver
Flower foot bath, cacao, and other ceremonies
Group sound healing with crystal bowls
Sweat lodge (Temazcal)
Sunset dinner on the beach, followed by a bonfire and live DJ for dancing
Cooking lessons, and much more!
